Privacy Policy

Last Updated: June 22, 2023

This Privacy Policy ("Policy") describes how Angi, Inc. and its affiliates and subsidiaries (collectively, "Angi", "we", or "us") collects, uses, and discloses, personal information about individuals who use our websites ("Site") or who otherwise interact with us via our mobile application (collectively, our "Services").

In this Policy, "Personal Information"" (a/k/a "Personal Data") means information that identifies, relates to, describes, is reasonably capable of being associated with, or could reasonably be linked, directly or indirectly, with you. Personal Information does not include information that is publicly available as defined by applicable privacy legislation or is anonymized.

We collect Personal Information directly from you that you voluntarily share with us through the Services, indirectly from you through technology (e.g., your activity on the Services), and from Angi service providers, service professionals, and business partners.

In the past twelve months, Angi has processed the following categories of Personal Information for the following purposes:

In addition to the uses and disclosures of Personal Information described in the chart above, we may use and disclose any Personal Information as reasonably necessary to comply with regulatory and legal requirements, cooperate with and respond to law enforcement requests, or as otherwise required by applicable law, court order, or governmental regulations. We also use Personal Information we collect to maintain appropriate records for internal administrative purposes, to protect our rights and interests or those of others, to resolve any disputes, to enforce our policies, or to prevent harm. Any Personal Information we collect may be provided to our professional advisors, including accountants, auditors, consultants, and lawyers, when reasonably necessary for our professional advisors to perform services for us and give us appropriate advice. All Personal Information we collect may be transferred to another company in the event of a sale, merger, or other acquisition of some or all of our assets or business or as part of the negotiation or evaluation of such sale, merger, or other acquisition.

We collect information through technology to enhance our ability to serve you. When you access and use the Services, or contact us or our service providers, we and, in some cases, our service providers collect information about you or how you interact with the Services. We describe below a few of the methods we use to collect information through technology. When you visit the Services, we collect your Internet Protocol (IP) address. An IP address is often associated with the portal you used to enter the internet, like your internet service provider (ISP), company, association, or university. While an IP address may reveal your ISP or geographic area, we cannot determine your identity solely based upon your IP address. However, we may link the last IP address you used to access the Services to Personal Information you provide us. We may also collect a unique identifier for your computer, mobile device, or other device used to access the Services ("Device Identifier"). A Device Identifier is a number that is automatically assigned to the device you used to access the Services. We may link the Device Identifier to other information about your visit, such as what pages you viewed, and to Personal Information you provide us, such as your name. In addition to these methods, we may also collect information about how you interact with the Services through advertising partners and data enrichment tools.

Cookies are small files that a website transfers to your device through a web browser that enables the website’s systems to recognize your device and to capture and remember certain information. You can find more information about cookies at: www.allaboutcookies.org In general, our Services use cookies: (1) where necessary to run our Services, (2) to optimize the functionality of our Services, including by personalizing content for you and remembering your preferences (e.g., your choice of language or region), (3) for analytics purposes— for example, to help us understand how our Services is used, (4) to deliver advertisements relevant to you— for example, the cookies remember that you visited our Services after you leave. Sometimes they collect information about what pages of our Services you visited, and this information is shared with our advertising vendors, such as AppNexus, Google, Nanigans, Facebook, and Twitter.

Many advertisers and service providers that perform advertising-related services for us participate in voluntary programs that provide tools to opt-out of such interest-based advertising such as the Digital Advertising Alliance's ("DAA") Self-Regulatory Program for Online Behavioral Advertising. To learn more about how you can exercise certain choices regarding interest-based advertising for DAA members, visit https://youradchoices.com/ and https://youradchoices.com/appchoices for information on the DAA's's opt-out program for mobile apps. Some of these companies also are members of the Network Advertising Initiative ("NAI"). To learn more about the NAI and your opt-out options for their members, see http://www.networkadvertising.org/choices. Please be aware that, even if you are able to opt out of certain kinds of interest-based advertising, you may continue to receive other types of ads (e.g., from other ad networks).

Our Services uses analytics technologies, including Google Analytics, to support the operation and performance of our Services and to analyze your interactions and experiences with our Services, including the features you engage with, how you navigate, and your clicks, cursor movement, and scrolling activity, and general information about Site traffic data, performance, and related statistics. You may exercise choices regarding the use of cookies from Google Analytics by going to https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout or downloading the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

Rejecting Cookies Through Browser Settings: Most browsers will tell you how to prevent your browser from accepting new cookies, how to have the browser notify you when you receive a new cookie, and how to disable cookies altogether. For more information on using browser settings to reject cookies, please visit https://allaboutcookies.org/. You should note that rejecting cookies in your browser settings may mean that any preferences you set on the Services will be lost and that the Services may not work as well.

We may include small graphic images or other web programming code, called web beacons (also known as "pixel tags", "web bugs" or "clear GIFs"), on our Services and in our messages. The web beacons are minute graphics with a unique identifier. They are used to track the online movements of Site users. In contrast to cookies, which are stored in a user's computer hard drive, web beacons are embedded invisibly on webpages and are about the size of the period at the end of this sentence. Web beacons help us better manage content on the Services by informing us what content is effective, monitoring how users navigate the Services, counting users of the Services, and counting how many e-mails sent by us were actually opened.

Some of the technologies used on our Site allow us and our service providers to monitor and analyze how visitors use our Services in order to better understand user behavior and improve our Services. When you interact with us online, information related to your browsing behavior may be collected by us and our service providers.

We do not support the Do Not Track ("DNT") browser setting. DNT is a preference you can set in your browser's settings to let the websites you visit know that you do not want the websites collecting your Personal Information. We do track your online activities over time and across third-party websites or online services. For example, we use web beacons to help us determine what links or advertisers brought you to our Site. We also use third-party service providers to display advertisements to you on other websites based on your activities while on the Services.

If you login to the Services through a social networking site, such as Facebook, we may collect your Facebook authentication token and account identification number and use that information to provide you with access to your account on the Services.

If you choose to use our referral service to tell a friend about the Services, we may collect your friend's name and email address. We will automatically send your friend a one-time email inviting them to visit our Services. We store this information only to send this one-time email and to track the success of our referral program. We do not use this information for any other marketing purpose unless we obtain consent from that person, or we explicitly say otherwise. Please be aware that when you refer a friend, your e-mail address may be included in the message sent to your friend.

The Services may display profiles of service professionals who participate on the Services. These profiles may include the service professional's name, and ratings and reviews about the service professional provided by their customers. Service professional profiles may be visible to all users of the Services and on booking partners' websites.

The Services may provide you with an opportunity to give ratings and reviews regarding service professionals or service requests. If you provide a rating or review about a service professional, we may post your first name, the initial of your last name, and the name of your neighborhood along with your rating or review on the service professional's profile on the Services and on booking partners' websites. In addition, service professionals may use your ratings and reviews, as well as this personal information about you, in their own marketing materials.

We may supplement the information we collect about you through the Services with records received from third parties in order to enhance our ability to serve you, to tailor our content to you, and to offer you information that we believe may be of interest to you.

The Services include links operated by third parties ("Third-Party Sites") and plug-ins (such as Twitter buttons) from Third-Party Sites. We do not control any Third-Party Sites and are not responsible for any information they may collect. The information collection practices of Third-Party Sites are governed by that website's privacy policy. We recommend that you read the Third-Party Site's privacy policy if you choose to provide any personal information or click on a plug-in.

Some Third-Party Sites link to the Services and share information with the Services. For example, in some cases, you can book our services through one of our booking partners, in that case, you might provide booking information, such as your name, telephone number, email address, and booking address, to the booking partner. Booking partners may share the booking information with us.

If you call or text (SMS) message a service professional or service requester using the telephone number provided by Angi, we use our service provider, Twilio, to mask your telephone number. During this process, Angi and Twilio receive in real time and store call data, including the date and time of the call or text (SMS) message, the parties' phone numbers, and the content of the text (SMS) messages.

If you send a message to a service professional or service requester in the App, we use or service provider, Sendbird, to process the communications. During this process, Angi and Sendbird receive in real time and store message data, including the date, time, and content of the messages.

By using the Services, you expressly consent and agree to accept and receive communications from us, including via text message, calls, and push notifications to the cellular telephone number you provided to us. Standard text messaging charges applied by your cell phone carrier will apply to text messages we send. By consenting to being contacted by us, you understand and agree that you may receive communications, including marketing communications generated by automatic telephone dialing systems which will deliver prerecorded messages, sent by or on behalf of Angi, its affiliated companies and/or Users/Professionals, including but not limited to: operational communications concerning your account or use of the Services, updates concerning new and existing features on the Services, communications concerning promotions run by us, and news concerning Angi and industry developments.

You acknowledge that you are not required to consent to receive promotional messages as a condition of using the Services. If a contact number you have provided to us is no longer your number, you agree to notify us promptly that you can no longer be reached at that number. You represent that you have received, and are authorized to convey to us, the consent of any authorized users on your account to be contacted by us as described in this Section. You agree that all consents provided in this Section will survive cancellation of your account. You may opt-out of receiving promotional or marketing texts or calls from us at any time. You may opt-out of receiving all text (SMS) messages from us (including informational or transactional messages) by replying with the word “STOP” to a text message from us; however, you acknowledge that opting out of receiving all texts may impact your use of the Services.

We keep the categories of personal information described above for as long as is necessary for the purposes described in this Policy or otherwise authorized by law. This generally means holding the information for as long as one of the following apply:

Where personal information is collected and used for more than one purpose, we will retain it until the purpose with the latest period expires.

Although we do not sell personal information in exchange for money, some of the ways in which we share personal information for targeted advertising may be considered “sales” or “sharing” under U.S. state privacy laws. Listed below are the categories of personal information we share for purposes of targeted/cross-context behavioral advertising or otherwise “sell” for non-monetary consideration:

The types of third parties to which personal information is sold or shared are third-party advertisers and some analytics vendors. The purposes for which we sell/share this information include: showing you relevant ads while you browse the internet or use social media; marketing, advertising, certain types of analytics, or similar purposes. We do not have actual knowledge that we sell or share the personal information of consumers under 16 years of age. If you would like to opt out, please see the information below.

If you are a resident of California, Colorado, Connecticut, or Virginia you have the right to submit certain requests relating to your Personal Information as described below. To exercise any of these rights, please submit a request to us via email at privacyofficer@angi.com including the email address that you have used to transact with Angi. You may designate an authorized agent to make a request on your behalf; however, you will still need to verify your identity directly with us before your request can be processed. Any request you submit to us is subject to an identification and residency verification process ("Verifiable Consumer Request"). We will not fulfill your request unless you have provided sufficient information for us to reasonably verify you are the consumer about whom we collected Personal Information. An authorized agent may submit a request on your behalf by emailing us at the email listed above. We will typically not charge a fee to fully respond to your requests, but we may charge a reasonable fee, or refuse to act upon a request, if your request is excessive, repetitive, unfounded, or overly burdensome.

This section supplements the other parts of our Policy and provides disclosures for California residents under the California Consumer Privacy Act (the “CCPA”).

Right to Know: You have the right to know about your Personal Information. You also have the right to obtain a transportable copy of your Personal Information. Your right to know request may be made no more than twice in a 12-month period.

Your right to know request may encapsulate the following:

Upon receipt of a verifiable request to correct inaccurate Personal Information, we will use commercially reasonable efforts to correct the information as you direct.

Please note, however, that we may have a legal basis for retaining such Personal Information under applicable law, despite your request.

Opt-Out Rights: You have the right to opt out of the selling or sharing of your Personal Information via tracking technologies (e.g., cookies) on the Site by clicking on the “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information” link in the footer of the Site. If you choose to use an opt-out browser signal, such as the Global Privacy Control, you will be opted out of cookie-based sales and shares.

You will need to turn on the signal for each browser that you use.

Right to Limit Use and Disclosure of Your Sensitive Personal Information: In the event that we use sensitive Personal Information to infer characteristics about you, you may direct us to limit the use and disclosure of your sensitive Personal Information to uses and disclosures that are reasonably necessary to provide our goods and services.

From time to time, we offer discounts and promotions ("Programs") that provide benefits to those who choose to participate. Participation requires you to provide some Personal Information, such as Identifiers (e.g., email addresses, phone numbers, and/or zip codes). The full terms and conditions of our Programs will be set forth where the opportunity to sign up is offered.

We have made a good faith estimate that the value of consumers' Personal Information provided in connection with our Programs is equivalent to the relevant expenses related to the collection and retention of that Personal Information. By joining our Programs, you consent to any associated financial incentive. You have the right to withdraw from the financial incentive at any time by discontinuing our Programs in the manner provided.

Unless you specifically request, submission of a request to delete your Personal Information will not erase information required for you to continue to participate in our Programs.

In addition, we may offer you financial incentives for the collection, sale and retention and use of your Personal Information as permitted by the CCPA. The material aspects of any financial incentive will be explained and described in its terms. Please note that participating in incentive programs is entirely optional, you will have to affirmatively opt-in to the Program and you can opt-out of each Program (i.e., terminate participation and forgo the ongoing incentives) prospectively by following the instructions in the applicable Program description and terms. We may add or change incentive Programs and/or their terms by posting notice on the Program descriptions and terms, so check them regularly.

Separately from the CCPA, the California Shine the Light law permits customers in California to request certain details about how their personal information is “shared” with third parties as defined in the Shine the Light law, and in some cases affiliates, if personal information is shared for those third parties' or affiliates' own direct marketing purposes. We share personal information with third parties or affiliates for those third parties' or affiliates' own direct marketing purposes. Californians may request information about our personal information sharing by contacting us at privacyofficer@angi.com Please include “California Shine the Light Request” in the subject line and in the body of your message. Please note that “Shine the Light” rights and CCPA rights are granted by different laws and must be exercised separately.

This section supplements the other parts of our Policy and provides additional information for residents of Virginia, Colorado, and Connecticut. If you are a resident of California, please review our California-specific disclosures above.
