Privacy Policy
Effective date: July 12, 2026
This Privacy Policy governs the collection, use, and disclosure of personal information by Vance Gate Repair Murphy through its website located at murphygaterepair.com (the Site). Vance Gate Repair Murphy operates as a home-service marketing and referral company: it advertises home-improvement and related services, accepts service requests submitted through the Site, and routes those requests to independent local businesses that quote and perform the requested work. Vance Gate Repair Murphy does not itself perform any home-service work.
This Policy applies to any person who visits the Site, submits a contact or quote-request form, initiates a chat, or otherwise provides information through murphygaterepair.com. By using the Site or submitting a service request, a visitor acknowledges that they have read this Policy and agree to the practices described herein. If a visitor does not agree, they should not use the Site or submit any information through it.
Text message (SMS) communications
When a visitor provides a telephone number through the Site, that visitor may receive text messages (SMS or MMS) from Vance Gate Repair Murphy and from the independent business or professional to whom the visitor’s request is referred. Both Vance Gate Repair Murphy and that independent business may send such messages.
By providing a telephone number and submitting a request, a visitor expressly consents to receive calls and text messages placed through an automatic telephone dialing system (autodialer) and calls or messages that use a prerecorded or artificial voice. This consent is given to both Vance Gate Repair Murphy and to the independent business that receives the referred request.
Consent to receive calls or text messages is not a condition of purchasing any goods or services. A visitor may submit a request and receive service-related communications without agreeing to automated or promotional messaging; however, some transactional communications may still be sent regarding an open service request.
Message frequency is not fixed - it will vary depending on the nature of the request, the progress of the referral, and how the independent business responds. Accordingly, the number of messages a visitor receives may differ from request to request.
Standard message and data rates may apply. The visitor’s mobile carrier may charge fees for sending or receiving text messages, and Vance Gate Repair Murphy is not responsible for any such carrier charges.
To stop receiving text messages at any time, reply STOP to any message. For assistance, reply HELP. Opting out of text messages will stop SMS communications from Vance Gate Repair Murphy, but it will not automatically stop all contact related to an open service request unless the visitor separately requests that. To do so, the visitor should also contact Vance Gate Repair Murphy directly. Opt-out and help requests may also be submitted through the contact page.
Affiliated brands and shared service providers
Vance Gate Repair Murphy is one of several home-service marketing brands that operate under common ownership or common management. That group of related brands and entities may share infrastructure, personnel, and vendors - including companies that provide call-answering, appointment scheduling, customer-relationship management (CRM) software, web hosting, and marketing technology.
Personal information collected through murphygaterepair.com may be disclosed to and used by those affiliated brands and the vendors they share, to the extent necessary to route a service request to the appropriate trade category or geographic area, to administer billing and account records, to detect and prevent fraud, to carry out quality-control functions, and to provide general operational support.
Any affiliated entity or contracted vendor that receives personal information pursuant to this section is expected to treat that information in accordance with this Policy or a substantially equivalent policy. Vance Gate Repair Murphy does not authorize those parties to use personal information for purposes materially different from those described here.
Before
AfterExpress consent to contact and to information transfer
By submitting a form on the Site, initiating a chat session, calling a number listed on the Site, or otherwise transmitting personal information to Vance Gate Repair Murphy, a visitor expressly agrees that their information - including contact details and project description - will be transferred to the independent business selected to respond to that request, as described in this Policy.
At the same time, the visitor expressly agrees to being contacted by Vance Gate Repair Murphy and by the independent business that receives the request, whether by telephone call, text message, or email, regarding the submitted service request and related follow-up.
Agreement to receive calls or text messages is not a condition of obtaining any service. Visitors who prefer not to receive automated or promotional calls or texts may indicate that preference by replying STOP to any message or by reaching out through the contact page, and they may still receive referral services through the Site.
Children under 13
The Site is not directed to children under the age of 13, and Vance Gate Repair Murphy does not knowingly collect personal information from any person under that age. If Vance Gate Repair Murphy becomes aware that it has inadvertently collected information from a child under 13, it will take prompt steps to delete that information from its records. Parents or guardians who believe that a child under 13 has provided information through the Site are encouraged to contact Vance Gate Repair Murphy through the contact page.
How and with whom information is shared
The primary purpose for which Vance Gate Repair Murphy collects visitor information is to connect that visitor with a local business capable of performing the requested work. When a visitor submits a service request through murphygaterepair.com, the contact and project details contained in that submission - including the visitor’s name, phone number, email address, service location, and description of the work needed - are transmitted to the contractors and locally operating service companies that Vance Gate Repair Murphy works with in the relevant trade and geographic area. Those businesses are independently owned and operated; they are not employees, agents, or divisions of Vance Gate Repair Murphy. Once a request is referred, those businesses may contact the visitor directly by telephone, text, or email to discuss the project, schedule a visit, or provide a quote.
Beyond that core referral function, personal information may also be shared with affiliated entities and shared vendors as described in the Affiliated Brands section above, and as otherwise required by law, by a valid legal process, or to protect the rights and safety of Vance Gate Repair Murphy, its users, or the public.
Changes to this policy
Vance Gate Repair Murphy reserves the right to modify or update this Privacy Policy at any time. When a revision is made, the Last Updated date shown at the top of this page will be changed to reflect the date of the most recent revision. Continued use of the Site or submission of any request following the posting of a revised policy constitutes acceptance of the revised terms. Visitors are encouraged to review this page periodically to remain informed of any changes.
This Privacy Policy was last updated on July 12, 2026.
State privacy rights
Residents of California, Virginia, Colorado, Connecticut, and Utah - and residents of other states that have enacted comparable consumer privacy legislation - have specific rights with respect to their personal information. This section describes those rights and explains how to exercise them.
Rights available to eligible residents:
- Right to know and access. A resident may request disclosure of the categories and specific pieces of personal information Vance Gate Repair Murphy has collected about them, as well as the categories of parties to whom that information has been disclosed.
- Right to correction. A resident may request that inaccurate personal information on file be corrected.
- Right to deletion. A resident may request that personal information Vance Gate Repair Murphy holds about them be deleted, subject to certain legal exceptions.
- Right to data portability. Where technically feasible and legally required, a resident may request a copy of their personal information in a portable, readily usable format.
- Right to opt out of sale, sharing, and targeted advertising. A resident may direct Vance Gate Repair Murphy not to sell or share their personal information and not to use it for targeted advertising or certain forms of profiling.
Important notice regarding the referral process: The core function of Vance Gate Repair Murphy is to pass service requests to the independent businesses that will respond to them. Because that transfer involves a visitor’s contact and project information, it may constitute a sale or a share of personal information under California law and analogous provisions in the other states listed above. A visitor who does not wish to have their information transferred in that manner should not submit a service request through the Site. A visitor who has already submitted a request and wishes to withdraw consent or opt out of further transfers may do so by contacting Vance Gate Repair Murphy through the contact page. That contact method is the operative opt-out mechanism; there is no separate cookie banner or site toggle for this purpose.
How to submit a rights request: Any eligible resident may exercise the rights described above by submitting a request through the contact page. An authorized agent may submit a request on a consumer’s behalf, provided the agent supplies adequate written proof of authorization. Vance Gate Repair Murphy may require verification of a requestor’s identity before honoring a request. Vance Gate Repair Murphy will respond within the time period required by the law applicable to the requestor’s state of residence.
Appeals: If Vance Gate Repair Murphy declines to honor a submitted rights request, the consumer may appeal that decision by responding to the denial notice or by submitting a new message through the contact page referencing the prior request. Vance Gate Repair Murphy will inform the consumer of the outcome of the appeal and, where required by applicable law, will provide information about further recourse available to the consumer.
Non-discrimination: Vance Gate Repair Murphy will not deny services, charge a different price, or provide a diminished level of service to any visitor solely because that visitor has exercised any of the rights described in this section.
Security of personal information
Vance Gate Repair Murphy maintains reasonable, industry-standard technical and organizational safeguards designed to protect personal information against unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. These measures include, where appropriate, secure data transmission protocols, access controls, and periodic review of data-handling practices.
Notwithstanding these efforts, no method of transmitting or storing data over the internet is completely secure. Vance Gate Repair Murphy cannot guarantee absolute security of personal information and encourages visitors to exercise caution when submitting sensitive information online. In the event of a security incident affecting personal information, Vance Gate Repair Murphy will take appropriate steps as required by applicable law.
Visitor choices regarding personal information
Visitors have several choices regarding the personal information they provide through murphygaterepair.com:
- Opt out of text messages. At any time, a visitor may reply STOP to any text message sent by Vance Gate Repair Murphy to stop receiving SMS communications. For help, the visitor may reply HELP.
- Request access to information on file. A visitor may contact Vance Gate Repair Murphy to ask what personal information is currently associated with their submission or account.
- Request deletion. A visitor may request that Vance Gate Repair Murphy delete personal information it holds about them. Such requests should be submitted through the contact page. Deletion may be limited in certain circumstances - for example, where retention is required by law or is necessary to complete an open service request.
Please note that choices made with respect to Vance Gate Repair Murphy’s communications do not automatically extend to the independent businesses to which a request has already been referred. Visitors wishing to opt out of further contact from those businesses must contact them directly.
Information Vance Gate Repair Murphy collects
Vance Gate Repair Murphy collects information through several means, including quote-request and contact forms, chat features, telephone inquiries, and other interactions with the Site. The information collected generally falls into two categories:
Information provided directly by visitors. When a visitor requests a referral or otherwise reaches out through the Site, Vance Gate Repair Murphy may collect the visitor’s full name, one or more telephone numbers, an email address, the address or general location of the property at which service is sought, and a description of the project or service need. The precise details collected will vary depending on the type of request and the information the visitor chooses to provide.
Technical and usage information. The Site automatically collects certain information about devices and browsing activity, including the pages a visitor views during a session, the type and version of browser being used, the visitor’s general geographic region as indicated by IP address, and related interaction data. This information is used primarily for Site analytics, fraud detection, and operational improvements. It does not identify individual visitors by name unless combined with information the visitor has separately provided.

Questions, concerns, or requests regarding this Privacy Policy - including requests to access, correct, or delete personal information, or to exercise any of the state privacy rights described above - should be directed to Vance Gate Repair Murphy through the contact page.
