Last Updated: March 2026

Who We Are

DeClue Plumbing is a licensed plumbing company serving the Greater St. Louis area including St. Charles, Arnold, Ballwin, and St. Louis County. Our website address is: https://declueplumbing.com. If you have any questions about this privacy policy or how we handle your data, please contact us

Comments

When visitors leave comments on our site, we collect the data shown in the comments form along with 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 privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.

Media

If you upload images to our website, you should avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) included. Visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from images on the website. DeClue Plumbing is not responsible for any location data embedded in images uploaded by users.

Cookies

If you leave a comment on our site you may opt in to saving your name, email address, and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so that you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies will last for one year.

If you visit our login page, we will 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.

When you log in, we will also set up several cookies to save your login information and your screen display choices. Login cookies last for two days and screen options cookies last for one year. If you select “Remember Me” your login will persist for two weeks. If you log out of your account the login cookies will be removed.

If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be saved in your browser. This cookie includes no personal data and simply indicates the post ID of the article you just edited. It expires after one day.

Embedded Content From Other Websites

Pages on this site may include embedded content such as videos, images, or articles. Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if you had visited those websites directly.

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. DeClue Plumbing is not responsible for the privacy practices of third-party websites.

Who We Share Your Data With

DeClue Plumbing does not sell, trade, or rent your personal information to third parties. We do not share your data with marketing companies or outside organizations for their own use. If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email. Visitor comments may also be checked through an automated spam detection service.

How Long We Retain Your Data

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This allows us to recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically rather than holding them in a moderation queue.

For users who register on our website, we store the personal information provided in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time with the exception of their username. Website administrators can also see and edit that information.

Contact form submissions, including your name, phone number, email address, and messag, are retained only as long as necessary to respond to your inquiry and are not used for any other purpose.

What Rights You Have Over Your Data

If you have an account on this site or have left a comment, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

To make a data request, please contact us through the form on our website.

Where Your Data Is Sent

Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service. Contact form submissions are sent directly to the DeClue Plumbing team and are not shared with or stored by any third-party service outside of our website platform.

Changes to This Policy

DeClue Plumbing reserves the right to update this privacy policy at any time. Any changes will be reflected on this page with an updated date at the top. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
