Privacy Policy

Last updated: July 4, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how HireSecurityNow ("we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, and shares information when you use our website and services, including our directory of private security companies and our free quote-request service. By using the site, you agree to the practices described in this policy.

1. Information we collect

We collect the following categories of information:

Contact information you provide: when you request quotes, contact us, or claim a company profile, we collect information such as your name, email address, phone number, company name, and the city or ZIP code where you need service.
Quote-request details: the type of security service you need, timing, and any details you choose to include in your request.
Company profile information: if you represent a security company, information you submit to claim or update your listing, and documentation used to verify that you represent the company.
Usage and device information: IP address, browser type, pages visited, referring pages, and similar analytics data collected automatically when you browse the site.

If you rate or recommend a company on our rankings, we may record your IP address and a browser fingerprint solely to prevent fraud and duplicate votes. This data is not shared with third parties.

We do not knowingly collect sensitive personal information (such as Social Security numbers, health information, or precise geolocation history), and our services are not directed to children under 16.

2. How we use your information

We use the information we collect to:

Process and route your quote requests to relevant security companies
Connect you with licensed private security companies in your area
Send you communications related to your request
Verify that people claiming company profiles actually represent those companies
Operate, maintain, and improve the site, including analytics and fraud prevention
With your consent, send you occasional updates or promotional emails about security services

You can opt out of promotional emails at any time by using the unsubscribe link in any such email or by reaching us through our contact form. Opting out will not affect service emails related to a request you have made.

3. How we share your information

Quote requests are shared with security companies. When you submit a quote request, we share your contact information and request details with one or more security companies listed on our platform that serve your area and offer the service you requested, so they can respond with quotes. By submitting the form, you consent to this sharing and to being contacted by those companies.

We may also share information with:

Service providers that help us operate the site (such as hosting, email delivery, and analytics providers), under obligations to protect your information
Law enforcement or regulators when required by law, subpoena, or to protect our rights, users, or the public
A successor entity in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, subject to this policy

We do not sell your personal information, and we do not share it with third parties for their own direct marketing purposes.

4. Cookies and analytics

Our website uses cookies and similar technologies, which fall into two categories:

Necessary cookies: required for the site to function (for example, navigation and security).
Analytics cookies: help us understand how the site is used so we can improve it. We use third-party services such as Vercel Analytics and Vercel Speed Insights for this purpose.

You can configure your browser to refuse cookies, to alert you when cookies are being set, or to delete cookies already stored on your device. Disabling some cookies may affect how the site works.

5. Data retention and security

We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this policy, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. We use commercially reasonable technical and organizational safeguards to protect your information; however, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

6. Your California privacy rights (CCPA/CPRA)

If you are a California resident, the California Consumer Privacy Act, as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act, gives you the following rights with respect to your personal information:

Right to know: request details about the categories and specific pieces of personal information we have collected about you, the sources, our purposes, and the categories of third parties with whom we share it
Right to delete: request deletion of personal information we have collected from you, subject to certain exceptions
Right to correct: request correction of inaccurate personal information
Right to opt out of sale or sharing: we do not sell personal information or share it for cross-context behavioral advertising; if that ever changes, we will update this policy and provide the required opt-out mechanisms first
Right to non-discrimination: we will not discriminate against you for exercising any of these rights

To exercise any of these rights, submit a request through our contact form with the subject "California Privacy Request." We may need to verify your identity before fulfilling a request, and you may designate an authorized agent to make a request on your behalf. We will respond within the timeframes required by law.

Residents of other states with comprehensive privacy laws may have similar rights; you may submit requests through the same channel.

7. Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. Material changes will be posted on this page, and your continued use of the site after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
