When you visit the Website, we and our service providers may automatically collect your IP address, browser type, device and operating system information, referring website, pages viewed, time spent on pages, the date and time of your visit, and approximate location derived from your IP address. This information is collected through server logs, cookies and similar technologies, and analytics tools.

Information from other sources

We may receive information about you from clients or partners who refer you to us, from review platforms and our Google Business Profile, and from publicly available sources such as permit, licensing or public bid records.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

• respond to your inquiries and prepare estimates, bids and proposals;

3. Phone, Text & Email Communications

When you give us your contact information, you agree that we may contact you by phone call, text message or email regarding your inquiry or project. Message and data rates may apply, and message frequency varies. Consent to receive communications is not a condition of hiring us.

You may opt out of text messages at any time by replying STOP, and out of promotional emails by emailing us at skyler@brandedgc.com. Even if you opt out, we may still send messages that are necessary to respond to your request or to complete a project you have hired us to perform.

4. How We Share Information

We do not sell your personal information. We share information only as described below:

• Service providers that perform services on our behalf, such as website hosting, email, form processing, analytics, accounting and IT support, and that are expected to protect the information.
• Project partners such as subcontractors, suppliers, architects, engineers and other professionals, when needed to estimate or complete your project.
• Government, legal and compliance recipients such as permitting agencies, building inspectors, licensing boards, insurers and bonding companies, and courts or law enforcement when required by law or when we believe disclosure is necessary to protect our rights, property or safety, or that of others.
• Business transfers in connection with a merger, sale, financing, reorganization or transfer of all or part of our business.
• With your consent or at your direction.

We may also share aggregated or de-identified information that cannot reasonably be used to identify you.

5. Cookies, Analytics & Third-Party Services

The Website uses cookies and similar technologies to operate properly and to understand how visitors use it. We use Google Analytics and Google Search Console, services provided by Google LLC, to measure traffic and Website performance. Google may collect information such as your IP address and your activity on the Website and use it in accordance with Google’s Privacy Policy. You can prevent Google Analytics from using your data by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

The Website also loads fonts and design resources from third-party content delivery networks (including Google Fonts and Tailwind CSS), which receive your IP address when your browser requests those files. Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies; doing so may affect how the Website works.

Do Not Track. The Website does not currently respond to “Do Not Track” browser signals. Where required by applicable law, we will honor legally recognized opt-out preference signals such as Global Privacy Control.

6. Data Retention

We keep personal information for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, including to complete your project, provide warranty service, maintain business, tax, licensing, bonding and insurance records, and for the period during which claims relating to construction work may be brought under applicable law. When information is no longer needed, we delete it or de-identify it.

7. Data Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical and physical safeguards designed to protect your information. However, no website, internet transmission or electronic storage system is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee the absolute security of your information. You provide information to us at your own risk.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Branded GC is not responsible for unauthorized access to, or use of, information resulting from circumstances beyond our reasonable control. If we become aware of a security breach that affects your personal information, we will notify you as required by applicable law.
