Comments and contact forms
When visitors leave comments on the site or submit a contact/estimate form, we collect the data shown in the form, as well as the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help with spam detection and website security.
If you use a Gravatar account, an anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available at https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture may be visible to the public in the context of your comment.
Media
If you upload images to the website (for example, through a form), you should avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) included. Visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from images posted on the website.
Cookies
Our site may use cookies to improve your browsing experience, remember your preferences, and help us understand how visitors use our website. If you leave a comment on our site you may opt in to saving your name, email address and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so that you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies typically last for one year.
If you visit our login page (for administrators or editors), we will set a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.
When you log in, we will also set up several cookies to save your login information and your screen display choices. Login cookies usually last for two days, and screen options cookies last for a year. If you select “Remember Me”, your login will persist for two weeks. If you log out of your account, the login cookies will be removed.
If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be saved in your browser. This cookie includes no personal data and simply indicates the post ID of the article you just edited. It typically expires after one day.
Embedded content from other websites
Articles or pages on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, maps, or articles). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor had visited the other website directly.
These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.
Who we share your data with
We do not sell or rent your personal information to third parties. We may share your data with service providers that help us operate our website, process forms or manage email communications (for example, spam detection tools, hosting providers, or email service providers). If you request a password reset, your IP address may be included in the reset email for security purposes.
How long we retain your data
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This helps us recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
For users that register on our website (if any), we store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.
Information submitted through contact or estimate forms may be retained for a reasonable period in order to provide customer service, prepare quotes, schedule services, keep basic business records, and comply with legal or accounting obligations.
What rights you have over your data
If you have an account on this site, or have left comments, or submitted information through our forms, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are required to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
Where your data is sent
Visitor comments and form submissions may be checked through an automated spam detection service and may be processed by third-party tools we use for security, analytics, or email delivery.
If you have any questions about this Privacy Policy or how we handle your data, you can contact us using the information on our Contact page.
