- Analytics and advertising cookies load only if you click Accept, and you can change that any time.

Information we collect
Information you give us
- Quote and reservation requests: your name, phone number, email, delivery ZIP code, the equipment you're interested in, the date you need it, the best time to call, any notes about access to your home, and whether you agree to receive text messages.
- Orders and delivery: delivery address, who will be home, access details such as gate codes, and rental dates.

We do not ask for diagnoses, procedures, surgeon names or insurance information. Please don't include medical details in our forms or messages. We are not a healthcare provider and do not bill insurance or Medicare.
Information collected automatically
Our website host keeps standard server logs (such as IP address, browser type and pages requested) for security and troubleshooting. If you click Accept on our cookie banner, we also use:
- Google Analytics to understand how visitors use the site.
- Google Ads conversion tracking to measure which ads lead to quote requests and calls.
- Meta (Facebook) Pixel to measure which ads lead to quote requests and calls. It receives only page views and standard "Lead" and "Contact" events. It never receives what you type into our forms, the equipment you choose, or the query part of page addresses.
If you click Decline, or your browser sends a Global Privacy Control signal, none of these load. You can change your choice with "Cookie settings" in the footer of any page.
Chat assistant
Our website chat assistant answers general questions about our equipment and service. If AI answers are switched on, what you type in the chat is sent to our chat server and to our AI provider, Anthropic, to write a reply. We don't store chat conversations on our server, and we don't use them for advertising. Anthropic handles them under its commercial terms [link and retention period to confirm]. If AI answers are off, the assistant answers from our FAQ inside your browser and nothing you type leaves your device. The assistant is automated, can make mistakes and does not give medical advice. Please don't type medical or other sensitive details into it.
How we use information
- To respond to your request, prepare a quote, and confirm details by phone, text or email.
- To schedule and carry out delivery, setup, support and pickup.
- To take payment, place and release deposits, and keep business records.
- To send appointment, delivery and pickup messages, and follow-ups about your quote.
- To measure and improve our website and advertising, if you accepted analytics cookies.
- To protect our business, prevent fraud, and meet legal obligations.
Text messages
If you check the SMS consent box, we may text you about your quote, delivery and pickup. Message frequency varies. Message and data rates may apply. Reply STOP to opt out or HELP for help. Consent is not a condition of renting or buying. We do not share your mobile number or text-message consent with third parties for their marketing.
Who we share information with
We share information only as needed to run our business:
