Privacy & Disclaimers

The boring but necessary legal stuff.

Amazon Affiliate Disclaimer

As an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases. This means if you click on an affiliate link and buy a trap or gasser, I may receive a small commission at no extra cost to you. This helps fund the hosting for this site and keeps the hardware running.

Trapper Matching Form

If you submit the trapper matching form, what you enter is shared with a licensed third-party pest control business so they can contact you about gopher control. That is the entire point of the form, and it is the only thing your answers are used for.

Shared with them: your name, phone number, ZIP code and your description of the problem, plus your email address and best time to call if you choose to fill those in. The form asks you to confirm you consent to being contacted before it will submit.

I may be paid by the licensed company for referrals. Because I may receive compensation for passing your details to them, this may count as a "sale" of personal information under California law. You only submit this form if you choose to, and you can ask me to delete your submission at any time. It does not cost you anything extra, and it does not change who I refer you to. I am not a pest control company and I do not perform the work — any agreement, quote or payment is strictly between you and the licensed business.

The form itself is a Google Form, so submissions are processed and stored by Google under their privacy policy. I do not add you to the email list from this form, and your details are not passed to anyone other than the licensed company you asked to be matched with. If you want your submission deleted, email [email protected] and I will delete it and ask the company to do the same.

Privacy & Cookies

This site uses Google Analytics to measure how visitors use it — which pages are read and which links are clicked. This helps me improve the guides. I do not run ads on this site, and analytics data is not sold or shared with anyone. Analytics is on by default; you can opt out at any time, and opting out disables it on this visit and future visits.

Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information

Nothing is sold or shared for advertising. The one exception is trapper referrals, explained below.

Newsletter emails are never sold or shared. If you sign up for gopher control tips, your email address is used to send you those and nothing else. To be removed, reply to any email or contact [email protected].

Trapper-form details go only to the licensed company you asked to be matched with. Not to advertisers, not to any other third party. But because I may be paid by that company for referrals, passing your details to them may count as a "sale" of personal information under California law — see Trapper Matching Form above for exactly what is shared. You only submit the form if you choose to, and you can ask me to delete your submission at any time at [email protected].
