Scuber.pro Leads Marketplace Privacy Policy (For Landscaping Professionals)
Last Updated: 1-1-2026
1. Overview & Who We Are
The Scuber.pro Leads Marketplace (“Marketplace”) is a platform where landscaping professionals (“Pros,” “Contractors,” “you”) can browse, preview, and purchase homeowner leads generated through the Scuber homeowner webapp.
Scuber, LLC (“Scuber,” “we,” “our”) is a Dallas-based company connecting homeowners interested in front-yard landscaping with qualified professionals.
- We are a Lead Marketplace Only: We sell contact information and project details (“Leads”). We do not provide landscaping services, architectural review, or project oversight.
- No Commissions: Scuber generates revenue solely through the sale of Leads. We do not take a percentage, commission, or “cut” of the service costs or project fees you charge the homeowner.
- No Professional Advice: Scuber is not a landscaping firm, licensed architect, or advisor. We are not responsible for the feasibility of projects or the accuracy of homeowner-submitted data.
2. Scope of This Policy
This Policy applies to the Scuber.pro Leads Marketplace (hosted on WooCommerce + WordPress).
It covers:
- Contractor account creation and management;
- Browsing and previewing Lead products;
- Purchasing Leads and payment processing; and
- Marketplace analytics and cookies.
It does not cover the homeowner webapp, Scuber’s corporate website, or any communications or contracts that occur between you and the homeowner after you purchase a lead.
