Privacy Policy
Last updated 15 September 2026
This site and the telephone number +1 916 619 4789 are operated by Owen Britton, a sole proprietor in Sacramento, California. This policy covers both. There is no company behind it and no other party involved.
The short version
Your phone number is used to carry on a conversation with you and nothing else. It is never sold, never rented, and never handed to anyone for marketing. No mobile information is shared with third parties or affiliates for marketing or promotional purposes. Text messaging opt-in data and consent are excluded from all sharing: that information is not shared with any third party.
What this website collects
Nothing. There are no accounts, no forms, no comment boxes, no analytics and no advertising or tracking cookies. The site is served by Google Firebase Hosting, which keeps ordinary web-server request logs (IP address, time, page requested) as part of delivering it.
What the phone number collects
- Your phone number.
- The content of messages sent to and from it.
- Delivery status and timestamps reported by the carrier.
That is the conversation itself. There is no separate database of people, no profile built about you, and nothing collected that you did not send.
Why
Owen runs a household assistant that handles correspondence he would otherwise handle himself: arranging work on the house, scheduling with trades and service providers, confirming appointments, chasing a quote, and following up afterwards. It also receives one-time verification codes for accounts the household holds.
Messages are conversational and transactional. No marketing, no promotions, no newsletters, no automated campaigns.
Who it is shared with
- Twilio, the messaging provider that carries the messages, and the mobile carriers who deliver them. This is how a text reaches a phone at all.
- Google Firebase Hosting, which serves this website.
Nobody else. Not advertisers, not data brokers, not affiliates, not "partners". Your number is not sold or rented under any circumstances.
How long it is kept
Messages are kept while the matter they concern is live, and afterwards as an ordinary record of correspondence — the same way an email thread is kept. Ask and it will be deleted.
Your choices
- Reply STOP to any message to stop receiving them. That is honoured immediately and permanently.
- Reply HELP for help, or write to the address below.
- Ask for your number and messages to be deleted, and they will be.
If you are a California resident, you may request the information held about you, ask for it to be deleted, and are entitled not to be discriminated against for asking. The answer to "is my data sold?" is no, and there is nothing to opt out of.
Children
None of this is directed at children under 13, and no information is knowingly collected from them.
Changes
If this policy changes, the date at the top changes with it.
