This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you visit our website electroappliancerepairs.co.zw, use our services, or interact with us.

Repair requests and website measurement in plain English

When you send a repair request through our website

The repair request forms on this website deliver your details to us by email through FormSubmit (opens in a new tab), a form-forwarding service. FormSubmit receives what you type into the form and passes it on to our inbox at info@electroappliancerepairs.co.zw. The form asks for:

  • your name and phone or WhatsApp number, so we can call or message you back;
  • your suburb or location, so we can plan the technician's visit;
  • the appliance, brand and fault, so the technician knows what to expect;
  • your email address, preferred date and time, and any notes, only if you choose to add them;
  • the page you sent the form from, so we know which service you were looking at.

We use these details to reply to you and arrange the repair you asked about. If the form cannot send your request, the page offers to open WhatsApp, your phone or your email app with your details filled in. Nothing is sent that way until you choose to send it from that app.

How we measure calls, WhatsApp taps and form submissions

This website uses Google Analytics and Google Ads measurement. When you tap a phone number, a WhatsApp button or an email link, or send a repair request form, the website records that this happened and which page you were on. For form submissions it also records the type of appliance and the suburb you entered. Your name, phone number, email address and message are not sent to Google Analytics or Google Ads.

We use these figures to see which pages and adverts help people get in touch with us. Google Analytics and Google Ads use cookies and similar technologies to do this (see the cookies section below). Google explains how it uses this information on its page How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services (opens in a new tab).
