Privacy Policy

This policy explains what information Santa Maria Deck Builders ("we", "us" or "our") collects through santamariadeckbuilders.com, how we use it and the choices you have. It applies to this website and to the estimate form on it.

1. Information we collect

We only collect what you choose to send us through the estimate form:

Your name and email address
Your town
The kind of deck work you're asking about
Any project details you write in, such as the deck size or its condition

The form also records the address of the page you sent it from, so we know which part of the site you were reading. Like most websites, our hosting provider may keep standard technical logs, such as browser type and the date and time of a visit.

2. How we use it

To reply to your estimate request and talk with you about your deck
To prepare and send your estimate
To keep a record of the work we're asked about and the work we do
To keep the website working and to understand which pages people use

We don't send marketing email unless you ask us to.

3. How the estimate form works

The estimate form is delivered to us by a third-party form service. That service receives what you type into the form, filters out spam and passes your request on to us. It handles the information only to deliver your request.

We do not sell your personal information. We share it only:

With the services that run this website and deliver the estimate form
With professional advisors, such as an accountant, when needed for our business
When the law requires it

5. Cookies and analytics

This website may use cookies or similar tools to understand how visitors use the site, such as which pages are viewed. You can set your browser to refuse cookies or to tell you when one is being sent. The site still works without them.

6. How we protect it

We take reasonable steps to protect the information you send us from loss, misuse and unauthorized access. No method of sending or storing information online is perfectly secure, so please don't send anything through the form that you'd consider sensitive, such as payment details.

7. How long we keep it

We keep estimate requests for as long as we need them to respond, to do the work and to keep ordinary business records.

8. Your choices and rights

You can ask us to:

Tell you what information we have about you
Correct information that's wrong
Delete your information, where we don't need to keep it for business or legal reasons

California residents have rights under California privacy law, including the right to know what personal information is collected and the right to ask for it to be deleted. We don't sell or share personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising.

9. Children

This website is meant for homeowners and isn't directed at children under 16. We don't knowingly collect information from them.

10. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. The version on this page is the current one.

11. How to reach us

For any privacy question or request, send us a note through the estimate form on this page and say it's a privacy request. That's the one way to reach Santa Maria Deck Builders.
