Privacy policy

The photos you add, the address you enter, your notes, and the report you build are stored only in your own web browser, on the device you're using. They are not sent to our servers and are not saved by us.

Because this information lives in your browser, clearing your browser data, or using a different device or browser, means you start fresh. When you download your report as a PDF, that file is yours to keep, share, or upload to your insurance claim.

To do its job, the tool has to look a few things up. When it does, only the minimum needed is sent, and only to the services listed below:

• Your address, while you type it, so we can suggest matching addresses and turn your choice into a map point.
• A rough, city-level estimate of where you are, based on your internet connection, so nearby addresses show up first. This is approximate and is often wrong behind a VPN.
• The map point for your area, to find storms on record nearby and to list nearby contractors.

Outside of the two opt-in moments described below (opening a Storm Risk Report and booking an inspection), we do not ask for your name, your email, or your phone number, and we do not build a profile of you.

Our Storm Risk Report is free to open. In exchange, when you open one we ask for your name, your phone number, and your roof's rough age, and we say so plainly right above the button: we may use your name, phone number, and property address, and share them with vetted local roofing pros, to contact you about your roof by call or text. Opening the report is your agreement to that. We keep a record of what you agreed to and when.

That is the whole trade, and it only happens if you open a report. If we or a roofing pro contact you, you can tell us to stop at any time, and you can email us (address below) to have your details removed from our records and shared no further.

If you choose to book a free inspection, you’re asking us to set up a visit — so this is the one place we share your details with someone else. When you book, the name, phone number, and property address you provide are sent to us and passed to a local contractor so they can call to confirm and come give you a free quote. We tell you this right on the booking button before you agree.

Booking is entirely optional. If you don’t book, none of this happens and your details are never shared. We don’t send what you type to our analytics — only an anonymous note that a booking was made, with no name, phone, or address.

We keep track of simple, anonymous usage events — for example, that someone started a report or downloaded one — so we can see which steps work and which need improvement. These events carry a random id for each visit and never include your address, coordinates, name, or photos.

We also measure page visits and button clicks, and record anonymized session replays that show how visitors move through the page. Replays are aggressively masked: everything you type and all on-screen text is blanked out before it leaves your browser, and the address and map coordinates are stripped from any web address we record. What we see is where people click and where they get stuck — never who they are or where they live.

On our free Storm Score pages, which people reach from our ads, we also use the Meta (Facebook) pixel. It sets one first-party cookie and records that you visited and whether you opened a report, so we can measure how well an ad performed. It never receives your address, coordinates, name, or photos. You can turn it off with any content blocker or through your Facebook ad preferences.

There is no sign-up and no login. We never give your information to data brokers or advertising networks. The only sharing we do is the one you agree to on the button: passing your contact details to vetted local roofing pros when you open a Storm Risk Report or book an inspection. The one advertising tool we use is the Meta (Facebook) pixel on our free Storm Score pages, described under Analytics, which sets a single first-party cookie to measure ad results. Apart from that, the only browser storage we use is the local storage that keeps your own draft and report on your device (described above) plus a random, anonymous analytics id.

Contractor listings are shown as a neutral directory, ordered by their public Google rating, and are not endorsements. Simply browsing that directory shares nothing with any listed provider. Your details are passed to a roofing pro only through the two opt-in moments described above: opening a Storm Risk Report or booking a free inspection.

Because your photos, address, and report are stored only in your browser, you are in control of them: clearing your browser's site data for this site removes them. You can use the tool without giving us any way to identify you.

If this policy changes in a meaningful way, we will update this page and say so clearly at the point where it happens, before it happens. That is how the two sharing features above were added: each is disclosed on its own button, at the moment you use it.
