POLICY

WHO WE ARE

EK Kinetics LLC ("Company," "we," "us," or "our") is a licensed appliance repair and installation service operating in South Florida, including Hallandale Beach, Hollywood, Fort Lauderdale, Aventura, Pembroke Pines, and surrounding areas in Broward County and Miami-Dade County.

This Privacy Policy applies to all personal information collected through our website ekkinetics.com, our online booking system, phone calls, emails, and any other communications or services we provide.

WHAT INFORMATION WE COLLECT

We only collect information that is necessary to schedule, perform, and follow up on our appliance repair and installation services. This may include:

• Contact information — your full name, phone number, and email address, provided when you book an appointment or contact us directly.
• Service address — the physical address where the repair or installation will take place.
• Appliance details — brand, model, and description of the issue, provided to help us prepare for the visit.
• Appointment and billing records — date, time, services rendered, and payment confirmation. We do not store full credit card numbers on our systems.
• Communications — records of emails, text messages, or calls you initiate with us, for service quality and dispute resolution purposes.
• Website usage data — basic analytics such as pages visited, browser type, and approximate location, collected automatically via standard web technologies. This data is not linked to your identity.

We do not collect sensitive personal information such as Social Security numbers, government IDs, financial account details, or health information.

HOW WE USE YOUR INFORMATION

We use the information we collect strictly to operate our business and serve you. Specifically:

• To schedule, confirm, and fulfill appliance repair and installation appointments.
• To contact you about your service — appointment reminders, technician arrival updates, and follow-up on completed work.
• To process payments and maintain billing records as required by law.
• To respond to your questions, complaints, or warranty claims.
• To improve our services based on general usage patterns (using anonymized data only).
• To comply with applicable legal obligations, including Florida business and tax regulations.

WE DO NOT SELL OR SHARE YOUR DATA

EK Kinetics LLC does not sell, rent, trade, or share your personal information with third parties for marketing or advertising purposes — under any circumstances.

We may share limited information only in the following specific situations:

• Service providers — we use Workiz, a third-party scheduling and booking platform, to manage appointments. Workiz receives only the information necessary to process your booking. They are bound by their own privacy policy and applicable data protection laws. You can review Workiz's privacy policy at workiz.com/privacy-policy.
• Legal requirements — if required by a valid court order, subpoena, or applicable law, we may disclose information to law enforcement or regulatory authorities.
• Business protection — to protect the rights, property, or safety of EK Kinetics LLC, our customers, or the public, where required or permitted by law.
• Business transfer — in the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, your information may be transferred to the successor entity, subject to the same privacy protections described in this policy.

In all cases, we share only the minimum information necessary and require that third parties treat your data with equivalent standards of confidentiality.

DATA RETENTION & SECURITY

We retain your personal information only as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this policy, or as required by applicable law. Service records are typically retained for 5 years for warranty, billing, and tax compliance purposes, after which they are securely deleted.

We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your personal information against unauthorized access, loss, or disclosure, including:

• Encrypted communications (HTTPS) on our website and booking platform.
• Restricted internal access — only personnel who need your information to perform their job duties can access it.
• Use of reputable, security-compliant third-party platforms (Workiz) for handling booking and payment data.
• No storage of full payment card numbers on our own systems.

No method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure. While we take reasonable precautions, we cannot guarantee absolute security. If you believe your information has been compromised, please contact us immediately at egor@ekkinetics.com.

COOKIES & WEBSITE TRACKING

Our website uses minimal tracking technology. We may use basic session cookies to ensure the website functions correctly. We do not use advertising cookies, behavioral tracking pixels, or cross-site tracking tools.

If we integrate any third-party analytics in the future (such as Google Analytics), this policy will be updated accordingly and users will be informed.

You can disable cookies in your browser settings at any time. Disabling cookies will not prevent you from using our website or booking our services.

YOUR RIGHTS UNDER THE LAW

Depending on your location and applicable law, you may have the following rights regarding your personal information:

• Right to Access — you may request a copy of the personal information we hold about you.
• Right to Correction — you may request that we correct inaccurate or incomplete information.
• Right to Deletion — you may request that we delete your personal information, subject to our legal retention obligations.
• Right to Opt-Out — you may opt out of any marketing communications at any time by contacting us or clicking "unsubscribe" in any email we send.
• Right to Data Portability — you may request your data in a structured, machine-readable format where technically feasible.
• Right to Non-Discrimination — exercising your privacy rights will not result in any change to the quality or availability of our services.

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at egor@ekkinetics.com or call (754) 258-6144. We will respond within 30 days.

CHILDREN'S PRIVACY

Our services and website are not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe we have inadvertently collected information from a child, please contact us immediately and we will delete it promptly.

THIRD-PARTY LINKS

Our website may contain links to third-party websites or services (such as the Workiz online booking platform). We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those third parties. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any external site you visit through our website.

CHANGES TO THIS POLICY

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technology, or legal requirements. When we do, we will update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.

Continued use of our services after any changes constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy. If changes are material, we will make reasonable efforts to notify existing customers.
