1. Introduction

EBE Heating & Cooling, operated by Established By Ellis LLC (“EBE Heating & Cooling,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), is committed to protecting the privacy and personal information of our customers and website visitors.

This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, protect, and disclose information when you visit our website, request HVAC services, schedule appointments, communicate with our company, or voluntarily subscribe to our text messaging programs.

Our services include furnace repair, air conditioning, HVAC installation, maintenance, emergency services, and related heating and cooling services throughout Chicago and surrounding communities.

By using our website or submitting your information, you acknowledge this Privacy Policy. Providing contact information or agreeing to this Privacy Policy does not automatically enroll you in SMS marketing.

SMS marketing requires separate, voluntary consent.

Personal and contact information:

  • Full name
  • Email address
  • Telephone or mobile phone number
  • Service address and location
  • Information submitted through website contact forms

HVAC service information:

  • Requested services
  • Furnace and air conditioning maintenance needs
  • HVAC equipment information
  • Service appointments and scheduling preferences
  • Previous service history
  • Estimates, invoices, and customer communications

SMS communication information:

  • Mobile telephone number
  • Marketing SMS consent status
  • Service notification consent status
  • Opt-in and opt-out requests
  • Date, time, source, and method of consent, when recorded
  • SMS message delivery and communication records

Website usage information:

We may automatically collect certain technical information, including your IP address, browser type, device information, pages visited, and interactions with our website through cookies, analytics, or similar technologies.

3. How We Use Personal Information

EBE Heating & Cooling may use customer information for legitimate business purposes, including:

  • Responding to inquiries and providing free HVAC estimates
  • Scheduling furnace, air conditioning, and other HVAC services
  • Confirming appointments and providing service updates
  • Maintaining customer records and service histories
  • Processing customer requests and resolving service concerns
  • Providing seasonal heating and cooling maintenance information
  • Sending SMS promotional messages only to customers who have provided the required marketing consent
  • Improving our website, customer experience, and business operations
  • Complying with applicable laws and legal obligations

We do not treat the submission of a service request, provision of a telephone number, or agreement to general website terms as consent to receive promotional SMS messages.

4. SMS Marketing and Text Messaging Privacy

EBE Heating & Cooling operates optional SMS communication programs.

Customers may separately choose to receive marketing messages, service notifications, or both.

A. Marketing SMS Messages

Customers who voluntarily provide express written consent may receive recurring marketing messages from EBE Heating & Cooling.

Marketing messages may include:

  • Seasonal furnace maintenance reminders and special offers
  • Air conditioning tune-up promotions
  • HVAC service discounts and coupons
  • Heating and cooling maintenance plans
  • Promotional announcements
  • Special pricing and limited-time offers

Marketing message frequency: Up to 6 promotional SMS messages per month.

Message and data rates may apply.

Marketing SMS consent is voluntary and is not required to request an estimate, schedule service, or purchase any product or service.

B. Service and Transactional SMS Messages

Customers who separately opt in to service SMS notifications may receive:

  • Appointment confirmations
  • Appointment and scheduling reminders
  • Service technician updates
  • Service appointment changes
  • Responses to customer service requests
  • Information regarding existing HVAC service appointments

Service message frequency varies depending on appointment and service activity.

Message and data rates may apply.

Service message consent does not authorize EBE Heating & Cooling to send promotional marketing messages.

C. How SMS Consent Is Collected

Customers may subscribe through an EBE Heating & Cooling website form that provides separate, optional checkboxes for marketing and service communications.

Each SMS consent checkbox:

  • Clearly identifies EBE Heating & Cooling
  • Describes the types of messages covered by consent
  • Is unchecked by default
  • Requires the customer to actively select it
  • Is separate from acceptance of general website terms
  • Is not required to request an estimate or purchase services

Where consent records are maintained, we may record the telephone number, consent category, consent date and time, form or source, and applicable consent language for verification and compliance.

We do not add customers to SMS marketing lists simply because they previously received HVAC services, provided their phone number, or submitted a contact form without marketing consent.

D. SMS Opt-Out and Assistance

Customers can unsubscribe from SMS messages at any time by replying STOP to a message received from EBE Heating & Cooling.

After an opt-out request, customers will no longer receive messages from that sending number, except for an allowable confirmation of the unsubscribe request.

Customers may reply HELP for assistance or contact us directly:

Phone: (773) 709-8406
Email: contact@ebeheatingcooling.com

E. SMS Data Protection and Non-Sharing

We do not sell or share your SMS opt-in data or personal information with third parties for marketing purposes.

No mobile information, including mobile phone numbers, SMS opt-in information, and SMS consent records, will be shared with third parties or affiliates for their marketing or promotional purposes.

We do not sell, rent, trade, or transfer customer SMS consent information to advertisers, lead generators, or other businesses for their independent marketing campaigns.

Mobile information and SMS consent records are excluded from any disclosure of customer information to third parties for their independent promotional activities.

We may use trusted communications service providers, including SMS delivery platforms, solely to process and deliver messages on our behalf. Such providers may process mobile numbers and communication information only as necessary to provide those services and not for their own independent marketing.

SMS marketing consent applies only to the EBE Heating & Cooling messaging program for which it was provided.

5. Sharing Information with Service Providers

We may disclose limited customer information to trusted service providers when reasonably necessary to:

  • Operate and maintain our website
  • Respond to customer inquiries
  • Schedule or perform requested HVAC services
  • Maintain customer management systems
  • Deliver authorized SMS or email communications
  • Provide technical and security services
  • Meet legal and regulatory requirements

These providers are permitted to use the information only for the services they perform on our behalf or as otherwise required by law.

We do not authorize these providers to use customer mobile numbers or SMS consent records for their own marketing campaigns.

6. Cookies and Website Analytics

Our website may use cookies and similar technologies to support website functionality, understand website traffic, improve performance, and analyze visitor interactions.

Depending on the services enabled on our website, these tools may collect technical information such as browser type, device information, IP address, and pages visited.

You may control or disable certain cookies through your web browser settings.

SMS opt-in information and marketing consent records are not provided to advertising platforms for their independent promotional use.

7. Data Retention

We retain customer information only for as long as reasonably necessary to:

  • Fulfill service requests
  • Maintain business and customer records
  • Support customer communications
  • Maintain SMS consent and suppression records
  • Comply with applicable legal and regulatory requirements
  • Resolve disputes and enforce lawful agreements

When personal information is no longer needed, we take reasonable steps to securely delete or de-identify it, subject to applicable retention requirements.

We may retain limited unsubscribe information to ensure customers who opted out are not inadvertently contacted again.

8. Information Security

EBE Heating & Cooling takes reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures to protect customer information from unauthorized access, misuse, alteration, or disclosure.

Although we work to protect customer information, no internet transmission or electronic storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

9. Customer Privacy Rights

Subject to applicable law, customers may request to:

  • Access personal information maintained about them
  • Correct inaccurate contact information
  • Update communication preferences
  • Withdraw consent for promotional SMS messages
  • Request deletion of personal information, subject to legal and business recordkeeping requirements
  • Ask questions about how their information is collected and used

To submit a privacy request, contact:

Email: contact@ebeheatingcooling.com
Phone: (773) 709-8406

We will review and respond to requests in accordance with applicable law.

10. Children’s Privacy

Our website and SMS messaging programs are not intended for children under the age of 13.

We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we become aware that such information has been collected without appropriate authorization, we will take reasonable steps to remove it.

11. Third-Party Websites

Our website may contain links to websites or services operated by third parties.

We are not responsible for the privacy practices, security, or content of websites we do not control. We encourage customers to review the privacy policies of those services before providing personal information.

12. Business Transfers and Legal Disclosures

We may disclose information where required by law, court order, legal process, or legitimate regulatory request.

If our business undergoes a merger, sale, restructuring, or other ownership change, customer information may be handled as permitted by applicable law.

SMS marketing consent will not be sold, assigned, or transferred to an unrelated business for its own promotional messaging without any consent required by applicable law.

13. Changes to This Privacy Policy

EBE Heating & Cooling may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in business practices, technology, legal requirements, or customer communication methods.

Updated policies will be posted on this page with a revised effective date.

Material changes affecting SMS consent will not automatically expand the types of marketing messages customers have agreed to receive.
