There are two ways to reach Minneapolis Dead Animal Removal through this site — the phone number and the form. Each collects something different, and both are set out below.

Calls are recorded

The number published here routes through call tracking, and calls placed to it are recorded. Kept alongside the recording are the number you called from, the date and time, how long the call lasted, and the approximate location your carrier reports. If you would rather not be recorded, use the form and say so, or ask the operator for a direct number when they call you back.

What the form collects

Your name, your phone number, the option describing the situation, and anything you type in the description box. There is no payment step anywhere on this site, and it never asks for a card number, a bank detail or a government identifier.

Sent invisibly alongside it are the page you submitted from, the page you first landed on, the referring site if there was one, and any campaign tags on the link you followed. That describes the visit rather than the visitor, and it is the only way to tell which pages produce real work.

Who receives it

The inbox that runs this site, which passes them to the independent operator covering your address so they can call you back and quote the job. That is the whole distribution list. Nothing is sold, and nothing is passed to a marketplace that resells one inquiry to several contractors.

Cookies and browser storage

Nothing on these pages sets an advertising cookie or fires an advertising pixel.

Visits are counted, and the parts of the site people actually use are seen, through Google Analytics: on this domain every page pulls in Google’s gtag.js script, which stores two analytics cookies under this site’s own domain, _ga and _ga_CBN60DEXBK, so that a single visit, or a browser coming back, can be told apart from another. Google receives the address and title of each page you open, the page you arrived from, a few facts about your browser and device, and a handful of actions — a tap on a phone number, the menu being opened, a click through to request removal, the form being started, a send it accepted, and arrival on the thank-you page. Nothing typed into the form travels with it, and leads are not handled there.

One value is written to session storage to remember the first page of your visit; it is cleared when you close the tab. Web fonts are requested from Google, which as a result sees your IP address, as it does across most of the web.

How long it is kept, and how to end it

Records are held while they are useful for handling the job and confirming the routing worked, then cleared. To have yours removed sooner, call 612-662-5070 or use the form and say so.
