Updated: January 1, 2024
Paragon Property Inspections LLC is committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring that your personal information is handled safely and responsibly. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your data in compliance with the Connecticut Data Privacy Act (CTDPA).
Who We Are
Our website address is: https://paragoninspectionsct.com.
Information We Collect
- Personal Data: When you schedule a home inspection, request information, or contact us through our website, we collect personal data such as your name, email address, phone number, and home address. This information is necessary to provide our home inspection services and communicate with you regarding your inspection.
- Contact Form Data: If you fill out our contact form, we collect your name, email address, and any other details you provide in the form to respond to your inquiries.
- Comments: When visitors leave comments on the site, we collect the data shown in the comments form, the visitor’s IP address, and browser user agent string to help with spam detection. An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service’s privacy policy is available here. After approval of your comment, your profile picture will be visible to the public in the context of your comment.
- Scheduler Data (Spectora): When you schedule an inspection through our online scheduling tool (Spectora), Spectora captures personal data such as your name, contact details, and address. Please refer to Spectora’s privacy policy for more information on how they handle your data. We ensure that Spectora complies with the CTDPA.
Cookies
Our website uses cookies to improve user experience and functionality:
- If you leave a comment on our site, you may opt to save your name, email address, and website in cookies. These cookies are convenient so you do not have to fill in your details again when leaving another comment. These cookies last for one year.
- If you visit our login page, we set a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.

Embedded Content from Other Websites
Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images, articles). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if you visited the other website. These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction if you have an account and are logged in to that website.

Who We Share Your Data With
We do not sell or share your personal data with third parties except as necessary to provide our services:
- Third-Party Services: We may share your data with service providers, such as Spectora, who assist with scheduling, payment processing, and other essential services. These third parties are required to comply with data protection laws.
- Spam Detection: An automated spam detection service may check visitors’ comments.
How Long Do We Retain Your Data
- Comments: If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This allows us to recognize and approve follow-up comments automatically.
- Contact Form Data: We retain personal data collected via contact forms as long as necessary to respond to your inquiry or provide services.

- Data Deletion: You can request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we must retain for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
- Opt-Out: If you do not wish to receive marketing communications from us, you may opt-out by following the instructions in our emails or contacting us directly.
Where Your Data Is Sent
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service. Additionally, any data processed by third-party services (such as Spectora) is subject to their privacy policies, which we encourage you to review.
Data Protection Measures
We implement reasonable security measures to protect your data from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. However, no method of data transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to protect your data, we cannot guarantee absolute security.

We may update this Privacy Policy occasionally to reflect changes in our practices or legal requirements. Any updates will be posted on this page with the revised date.
