SecureKey is committed to protecting your personal information. We collect only what we need to provide our services, we never sell your data, and we give you clear control over your information at all times. This policy explains exactly what we collect, why, and how you can exercise your rights.

This policy is compliant with the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), and other applicable US state and federal privacy laws. We review and update this policy regularly to ensure it reflects our current data practices.

How We Use Your Data

We use your personal data only for lawful purposes. The legal bases we rely on are: performance of a contract (providing our services), legal obligation (compliance with applicable law), legitimate interests (running our business securely and effectively), and your explicit consent where required.

  • To schedule, dispatch, and perform locksmith services
  • To verify your identity and authority before performing any service
  • To process payment and issue receipts and invoices
  • To respond to enquiries, complaints, and customer support requests
  • To improve our services, train staff, and monitor quality
  • To send service confirmations, appointment reminders, and follow-up communications
  • To comply with legal, regulatory, and law enforcement obligations

We will only send you marketing communications if you have explicitly opted in. You may withdraw consent at any time by contacting us or using the unsubscribe link in any marketing email.

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to any third party. We may share your information only in the following limited circumstances:

  • Business transfers: In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of all or part of our business — you will be notified in advance
  • Professional advisors: Accountants, lawyers, and insurers where necessary and under strict confidentiality
We Never Sell Your Data

SecureKey has not sold, and will never sell, personal information to data brokers, advertisers, or any other third party for commercial purposes. This is a firm commitment, not a legal formality.
