Last Updated: April 15, 2025
This Privacy Policy explains how SSL LLC (“we,” “us,” or “our”), operating the website localpro-garagedoor.com and other similar websites under the Local Pro – Garage Door brand (collectively, the “Website”), collects, uses, discloses, and protects your information when you visit our Website or interact with our services. We are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring transparency about our data practices.
1. Information We Collect
We collect information about you in the following ways:
a. Information You Provide
When you contact a service provider through our Website by making a phone call, we collect:
- Phone number you use to place the call.
- Any other information you voluntarily provide during the call (e.g., details about the service you need).
b. Automatically Collected Information
When you interact with our Website or advertisements, we may collect:
- Advertising and campaign data, including Google Ads campaign details (e.g., campaign name, ad group, keyword).
- Location information, such as state, city, or ZIP code, based on your interaction with our ads or Website.
- Call-related data, such as the time, date, and duration of the call, collected via third-party call tracking services (e.g., CallRail or Ringba).
- Technical information, including your IP address, browser type, device type, and other standard web analytics data (e.g., via cookies or similar technologies).
We do not collect sensitive personal information beyond what is necessary to connect you with a service provider.
2. How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect to:
- Facilitate phone call connections between you and home service providers (e.g., plumbers, HVAC technicians, garage door repair professionals) through our affiliate network.
- Track and optimize our advertising campaigns (e.g., Google Ads) to improve our services.
- Analyze Website usage and performance to enhance user experience.
- Comply with legal obligations or respond to lawful requests.
We do not use your information for follow-up communications or marketing unless you explicitly consent to such contact.
3. How We Share Your Information
We share your information only in the following circumstances:
- With Our Affiliate Network: We share your phone number and call-related details with our affiliate network, which distributes the call to a local service provider based on your location and service needs. The affiliate network may have its own privacy policies governing how it handles your information.
- With Call Tracking Services: We use third-party services like CallRail and Ringba to route calls and collect campaign data. These providers process call-related information on our behalf and are bound by contractual obligations to protect your data.
- With Google: Campaign-related data (e.g., keywords, location) is shared with Google to optimize our advertising efforts, but this data is aggregated and not tied to your personal identity.
- Legal Compliance: We may disclose information if required by law, such as in response to a court order, subpoena, or government investigation.
We do not sell your personal information to multiple buyers or third parties for marketing purposes. Your phone call is routed directly to a single service provider via our affiliate network.

Our Website uses cookies and similar technologies (e.g., pixels) to collect technical and advertising data. These technologies help us:
- Understand how you interact with our Website and ads.
- Measure the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns.

We retain your information only as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this Privacy Policy (e.g., connecting you with a service provider, optimizing campaigns) or to comply with legal obligations.
