1. Our Services and Assigned Flooring Providers
Chicago Carpet & Flooring provides flooring-related information, customer intake, appointment scheduling, communication, marketing, and service coordination.
Depending on your location, project type, availability, and other factors, your consultation or flooring project may be handled by Chicago Carpet & Flooring or assigned or referred to an independent flooring company or contractor.
When we assign or refer your request, we may provide the assigned flooring provider with the information reasonably necessary to contact you, evaluate the project, attend the consultation, prepare a proposal, and provide the requested flooring services. This may include your name, telephone number, email address, project address, flooring interests, appointment information, and other project details you provide.
We intend to identify the flooring company assigned to your request before the consultation or in your appointment confirmation. Once an independent provider receives your information, its own privacy policy and business practices may also apply.

5. Artificial Intelligence, Chat, Voice, and Automated Systems
We use artificial intelligence and automated systems to assist with customer communications, qualification, appointment scheduling, appointment management, routing, summaries, reminders, and follow-up.
Our AI systems may:
- Answer approved general questions;
- Ask about your flooring project;
- Collect contact and project information;
- Check appointment availability;
- Schedule, reschedule, or cancel consultations;
- Update customer records;
- Generate summaries and suggested responses; and
- Transfer or refer a conversation to a person.
The AI assistant is not authorized to provide final project pricing, binding estimates, contractual promises, or unauthorized warranty or guarantee information. Final pricing, proposals, contracts, warranties, and project terms are provided by the flooring company handling the project after it has evaluated the property and project requirements.
AI systems may occasionally misunderstand a question or produce an inaccurate response. You may request assistance from a person at any time.
We may use third-party AI, CRM, communications, transcription, and voice providers, including services such as HighLevel/LeadConnector and voice-technology providers. These providers may process communications to generate responses, transcribe or summarize conversations, route requests, provide technical support, prevent abuse, and operate the service. Their handling of information is also governed by their applicable agreements, privacy notices, and our account settings.
We do not intend to use a customer’s voice recording to create a biometric voiceprint or identify a customer biometrically. If we introduce biometric identification in the future, we will provide any separate notice and consent process required by applicable law.
6. Call Recording and Transcription
Calls with our staff or AI telephone assistant may be monitored, recorded, and transcribed for:
- Appointment scheduling;
- Customer service;
- Quality assurance;
- Training;
- Documentation;
- Security;
- Dispute resolution; and
- Improvement of our systems.
We will provide a notice at or near the beginning of a recorded or transcribed call and will request consent where required.
If you do not consent to recording or transcription, tell the assistant or representative. Depending on available staffing and technology, we may stop the recording, transfer you to another communication method, arrange a callback, or ask you to communicate by email.
7. Telephone Calls, Text Messages, and Emails
When you provide a telephone number or email address, we may contact you about the specific request you submitted, subject to your communication choices and applicable law.
Communications may include:
- Responses to your inquiry;
- Appointment confirmations;
- Appointment reminders;
- Rescheduling or cancellation notices;
- Service updates;
- Missed-call responses;
- Requested callbacks;
- Proposal, invoice, payment, or receipt information; and
- Follow-up concerning your flooring project.
Where you separately consent, we may also send promotional or marketing communications.
Marketing consent is not a condition of requesting information, scheduling a consultation, or purchasing services.
Message frequency may vary. Message and data rates may apply. You may reply STOP to stop text messages and HELP for assistance. You may unsubscribe from promotional emails using the unsubscribe link included in the message.
Stopping text messages does not necessarily cancel an appointment or prevent non-SMS communications that are necessary to service your request.
Mobile opt-in information and text-message consent will not be sold or shared with unrelated third parties for their own marketing or promotional purposes. Communication vendors and customer-service providers may process this information only as needed to support our messaging and service operations.
If the flooring provider assigned to your consultation wants to send unrelated or ongoing marketing communications under its own name, it must obtain any separate consent required for those communications.
8. Independent Flooring Providers and Contractors
We may disclose relevant customer and project information to an independent flooring provider selected to respond to or fulfill the customer’s request.
Information shared may include:

- Telephone number;
- Email;
- Project address;
- Flooring type;
- Property type;
- Appointment details;
- Project notes;
- Uploaded photos or documents; and
- Communication history relevant to the request.
The assigned provider may contact you regarding the consultation, proposal, installation, payment, warranty, or customer-service matters associated with that project.

Essential cookies

Where applicable law requires us to recognize a legally valid browser-based privacy preference signal, we will process that signal as required.

We do not provide personal information to data brokers or unrelated businesses for their independent direct-marketing lists.
We do disclose information for the service, operational, referral, analytics, and advertising-measurement purposes described in this Policy.
Some state privacy laws define “sale” or “sharing” broadly and may treat certain disclosures for targeted advertising, advertising measurement, or service referrals as a sale or sharing even when personal information is not exchanged as a standalone product.
