What this site does

Montana Septic Pros is an online directory of septic pumpers licensed by the Montana Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ). Homeowners can browse listings and submit a request for quotes. We do not perform septic work. We do not quote a price for your specific job; our guides may show typical Montana price ranges reported by local pumpers.

Information we collect

When you request quotes (homeowners)

If you use the "Get Free Quotes" form, we collect the information you submit, which may include:

• Name
• Phone number
• Email address
• Town or city, county, and optional ZIP code
• Service needed and timing
• Optional property notes and preferred contact method
• Your agreement to share the request with licensed local pumpers

We also use spam protection (for example Cloudflare Turnstile) and may collect technical signals needed to block bots.

When pumpers contact us

If you claim or correct a listing, join a free trial, or email us, we may collect your business name, DEQ license number, phone, email, website, service area, and notes about lead delivery.

Automatic / technical data

Like most websites, our host and Google Analytics may collect IP address, browser type, device type, pages visited, and approximate location. See "Cookies, analytics, and advertising" below. We do not sell your personal information.

How we use information

• To show and improve the directory
• To email quote requests to Montana Septic Pros, which may share each request with up to three licensed pumpers who serve your area so they can contact you
• To operate the optional pumper lead program (including free trials)
• To respond to questions, listing corrections, and support
• To protect the site against spam and abuse
• To understand which pages are useful (Google Analytics) and, when ads run, which ads lead to quote requests (Google Ads conversion tracking)

How quote requests are shared

When you submit the form and check the consent box, you agree that we may share your request—including your name, phone, email, location, and service details—with up to three DEQ-licensed pumpers in or near your area. Those pumpers may contact you by phone, text, or email to provide a quote.

Leads are emailed to Montana Septic Pros first. We select pumpers and forward the request. Later, participating pumpers may receive leads by email more directly, with Montana Septic Pros copied.

We do not sell homeowner leads to unrelated marketers. Sharing with pumpers for quoting is the purpose of the form.

Cookies, analytics, and advertising

We may use cookies or similar technologies for:

• Security and spam protection (for example Cloudflare Turnstile)
• Remembering form preferences where needed
• Google Analytics — to understand how people use the site (pages viewed, device type, approximate location, referral source). Google Analytics may set cookies such as _ga and _gid. Learn more and opt out: Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on and Google's ad settings at adssettings.google.com.
• Google Ads conversion tracking — when we run ads (planned for a small test later), a conversion tag may record when someone submits the quote form after clicking an ad. That helps us see which ads lead to requests. Google Ads may use cookies or similar identifiers for this. You can manage ad personalization at adssettings.google.com and review Google's policies at policies.google.com/technologies/ads.

You can also control cookies through your browser settings. Blocking some cookies may affect form submission or our ability to measure ads.

We do not use analytics or ads data to sell your personal information.

How long we keep information

We keep quote requests and related notes as long as needed to route the request, follow up with pumpers, run the business, resolve disputes, and meet legal obligations. You can ask us to delete or correct information we control; we will respond within a reasonable time, subject to any records we must keep.

Third-party services

We use service providers to host the site, send email, and block spam (for example Cloudflare and an email delivery provider). Those providers process data only to provide their services to us. Pumper businesses who receive your request are independent; their own privacy practices apply once they have your contact details.

Children's privacy

This site is for adults seeking septic services or business listings. We do not knowingly collect information from children under 13.

Your choices

• Do not submit the form if you do not want your details shared with pumpers.
• Contact us to correct a listing or update a pumper lead-delivery email.
• Homeowners may ask us not to share a request further if it has not already been forwarded; once shared with a pumper, you may need to ask that pumper directly to stop contacting you.

Security

We take reasonable steps to protect information in transit and limit who on our side can access lead emails. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure.

Changes

We may update this policy. The "Last updated" date will change when we do. Continued use of the site after changes means you accept the updated policy.
