The Public Service Plumbers Website may contain links to other websites.

3.1 Sharing With Third Parties

• We do not sell, rent, or lease our customer lists to third parties.
• We may share data with trusted partners who help us perform analytics, send email or postal mail, provide customer support, arrange deliveries, or otherwise operate our business. These partners are prohibited from using your personal information for any purpose other than assisting us and are required to maintain its confidentiality.
• From time to time, we may contact you on behalf of external business partners about an offering that may interest you. In such cases, your unique personally identifiable information (e.g., email, name, address, telephone number) is not transferred to the third party.
• We do not share or sell any opt-in and phone information to any third-party company for marketing purposes.
