American Boat Removal ("we," "us," or "our") operates americanboatremoval.com (the "Site"). This page explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have.
Information We Collect
Information you give us directly, when you request a quote by phone, through our website form, or through a Google or Meta ad form:
- Name
- Phone number
- Email address (if provided)
- Property/service address or city
- Details about the boat and condition (e.g., sunk, wrecked, abandoned, no title)
- Any other details you choose to share with us about your removal request
Information collected automatically, when you visit the Site:
- Pages viewed, time on site, and general browsing behavior, via Google Analytics (GA4)
- Ad interactions, if you arrived via a Google or Meta ad, via Google Tag Manager, Google Ads conversion tracking, and (when active) the Meta Pixel
- Standard technical data such as browser type, device type, and approximate location based on IP address
We do not collect payment card information through this Site. If you pay for a service, that is handled directly and is not stored by this website.
How We Use Your Information
We use the information above to:
- Contact you about your quote request, by phone, text, or email
- Schedule and coordinate boat removal service
- Improve our Site and advertising based on aggregate, non-identifying trends
- Measure whether our Google and Meta ads are producing real quote requests, using conversion tracking
By submitting a quote request, you consent to being contacted by phone or text about your request, including from an automatic telephone dialing system if applicable. You can ask us to stop contacting you at any time.
How We Share Your Information
We do not sell your personal information.
We share information only with:
- Service providers who help us operate the Site and respond to leads (for example, our website hosting, database, and email-delivery providers)
- Google and Meta, in the limited, aggregated form needed to measure ad performance (for example, "a quote request happened"), not full lead details
- Law enforcement or other parties, only if required by law
Your Choices
- Opt out of contact: reply "STOP" to any text, or tell us by phone or email that you'd like us to stop contacting you.
- Analytics/ads: you can use your browser's cookie settings or extensions (such as Google's Analytics opt-out) to limit tracking.
- Access or delete your information: email us at contact@americanboatremoval.com to request a copy of the information we have about you, or to ask us to delete it, and we will respond within a reasonable time.
Children's Privacy
This Site is intended for adults arranging boat removal services and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect information from children.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this policy from time to time. The "Effective date" above will reflect the most recent version. Continued use of the Site after a change means you accept the updated policy.
