About the site
BirminghamALElectrician.com is an advertising and referral website that helps homeowners in Birmingham, Alabama and nearby communities connect with independent local electricians. The site does not perform electrical work.
Information collected
Phone calls. The site does not use contact forms. When you call a number shown here, the call is handled by a call-tracking and routing service. That service may record your phone number, the date, time and length of the call, your general location and the page or ad that led to the call. Calls may be recorded or monitored for quality, training and verification.
Information you share on a call. You may choose to give your name, address and details about your electrical problem so you can be connected with a provider.
Website usage data. Hosting and analytics tools may collect your IP address, browser and device type, pages visited, the referring page and campaign details such as UTM parameters. Some of these details are kept in your browser's session storage during your visit so calls can be attributed to the right page or campaign.
How information is used
Information is used to connect you with a residential electrician, to measure which pages and advertising lead to calls, to improve the website, to prevent fraud and abuse, and to meet legal obligations. Personal information is not sold for money.
How information is shared
With providers. Details from your call are shared with the independent provider you are connected with so they can respond. Providers have their own privacy practices.
With vendors. Hosting, analytics, advertising measurement and call-tracking services process information on the site's behalf.
For legal reasons. Information may be disclosed when required by law, to protect rights and safety, or as part of a transfer of the website.

Advertising platforms may also use cookies or similar tools to measure whether ads lead to calls. You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings; some call attribution may not work the same way if you do.
Data retention
