Sharing Your Information With Service Providers
Sarasota Garage Door Co. helps coordinate garage door service requests.
When you submit a service request, the information you provide may be shared with one or more independent garage door service providers so that they can respond to your request, contact you, provide information about availability, or provide garage door services.
These service providers are independent businesses and are not employees of Sarasota Garage Door Co.
By submitting a service request through this website, you understand that information necessary to respond to your request may be provided to an independent service provider.

We may also share information with companies that help us operate the website or business, such as:

- Analytics providers
- Customer relationship management systems
- Phone or call-tracking providers
- Email or communication platforms
- Security and fraud-prevention providers
Third-party services may have their own privacy policies governing their collection and use of information. The FTC notes that information handled through third-party services can also be subject to those providers’ privacy practices.
We may also disclose information when reasonably necessary to comply with a law, court order, legal process, government request, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of the website, our users, service providers, or others.

Providing your phone number does not require you to purchase any service.
Sale of Personal Information
