Frostline Refrigeration LLC ("Frostline Refrigeration," "we," "us," or "our") respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, share, and protect personal information when you visit our website at https://link.frostlineref.com/home-page-page (the "Site"), contact us, or use our commercial refrigeration services.

By using the Site or our services, you consent to the practices described in this Privacy Policy.

1. Who We Are

Frostline Refrigeration is a Texas-based commercial refrigeration company headquartered in Aubrey, Texas, providing repair, installation, maintenance, and remote monitoring services across the Dallas-Fort Worth area.

2. SMS Opt-In Information Is Not Shared (Important Notice)

Frostline Refrigeration does not share, sell, rent, lease, or otherwise transfer any mobile phone numbers, SMS opt-in data, or consent information collected from our customers or website visitors to any third parties or affiliates for their own marketing, promotional, or advertising purposes.

These providers are contractually prohibited from using your mobile information for their own marketing purposes.

This restriction applies regardless of any other provision of this Privacy Policy.
