How We Share Your Information

Cooks Home Care LLC does not sell, rent, or trade your personal information. We do not share your personal information with third parties for their own marketing or promotional purposes.

We may share your information only in the following limited circumstances:

  • Service Providers: We may share information with trusted subcontractors and service providers who assist us in operating our website and delivering our services (e.g., scheduling software, customer support tools). These providers are contractually required to protect your information.
  • SMS Platform Providers: To deliver text messages, your phone number and consent data may be shared with aggregators and providers of Text Message services solely for the purpose of transmitting those messages.
  • Legal Requirements: We may disclose your information if required by law, court order, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of Cooks Home Care LLC, our clients, or others.
