Information We Collect
We may collect the following types of information:
-
Personal Information: This includes details such as your name, email address, phone number, and project preferences when you contact us, request a quote, or sign up for our newsletter.
-
Non-Personal Information: We may collect non-personal information such as your browser type, IP address, and the pages you visit on our site. This helps us improve our website and services.
How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect to:
- Respond to inquiries and provide estimates or project details.
- Improve our website and services.
- Send occasional updates, promotions, or newsletters (only if you have opted in).
- Keep you informed about the progress of your project.
How We Protect Your Information
We take reasonable precautions to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. However, no method of transmission over the internet is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Sharing Information
We will never sell or share your personal information with third parties, except as required by law or in cases where it is necessary to provide our services (for example, to contractors or service providers involved in your project).
Comments
When visitors leave comments on our site, we collect the information provided in the comment form, along with the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to assist with spam detection.
An anonymized string generated from your email address (also known as a hash) may be shared with the Gravatar service to check if you have an associated profile. You can review Gravatar’s privacy policy here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. Once your comment is approved, your profile picture, if available, will be displayed publicly alongside your comment.
Media
If you upload images to the website, please ensure they do not contain embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors to the site can download and extract location information from images.
Cookies
When you leave a comment on our site, you may choose to save your name, email address, and website in cookies for convenience. This way, you won’t need to re-enter your details for future comments. These cookies will remain for one year.
If you visit our login page, we’ll set a temporary cookie to check if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is deleted when you close your browser.
Upon logging in, we set several cookies to store your login details and screen display preferences. Login cookies last for two days, while screen preference cookies last for one year. If you choose “Remember Me,” your login will remain active for two weeks. If you log out, the login cookies will be removed.
If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be placed in your browser. This cookie does not contain personal data and only identifies the post ID of the article you edited. It expires after one day.
Embedded content from other websites
Articles on this site may contain embedded content, such as videos, images, or articles. Embedded content from other websites functions exactly as if you were visiting the third-party site directly.
These external sites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional tracking from third parties, and monitor your interaction with the embedded content, especially if you have an account and are logged in to their website.
How long we retain your data
When you leave a comment, both the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This allows us to automatically recognize and approve any follow-up comments, rather than holding them in a moderation queue.
For registered users (if applicable), we store the personal information provided in their user profile. Users can view, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except for their username). Website administrators also have access to view and edit this information.
What rights you have over your data
If you have an account or have left comments on this site, you can request an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any information you’ve provided. You can also ask us to delete your personal data, except for any information we are required to retain for legal, administrative, or security reasons.
Where your data is sent
Visitor comments may be subject to automated spam detection.
Changes To This Privacy Policy
We may update this privacy policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page, and the “Effective Date” at the top will be updated accordingly. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
