When sensitive information is reasonably necessary for an active business or employment relationship, we will seek to collect it through an appropriate method.

All personal information you provide must be true, complete, and accurate, and you should notify us of material changes.

Information automatically collected

In Short: Some information—such as your Internet Protocol address and browser or device characteristics—is collected automatically when you visit our Services.

We automatically collect certain information when you visit, use, or navigate the Services. This information ordinarily does not reveal your specific identity but may include device and usage information such as your IP address, browser and device characteristics, operating system, language preferences, referring URLs, approximate location based on IP address, device name, pages viewed, links clicked, dates and times of access, and other technical information. We use this information primarily to maintain security and operation and for internal analytics and reporting.

Like many businesses, we may also collect information through cookies and similar technologies. The information we collect may include:

Information obtained from other sources

We may receive limited personal information from referral sources, project partners, public records, professional directories, social media platforms, advertising or analytics providers, and other third parties when permitted by law. We may combine this information with information you provide directly to us.

2. HOW DO WE PROCESS YOUR INFORMATION?

• With Your Direction or Consent. We may share information when you ask us to or consent to the disclosure.

We do not sell personal information for money. Certain analytics or advertising technologies may be considered a “sale” or “sharing” under some state privacy laws even when no money changes hands. Where applicable, you may opt out as described below.

4. DO WE USE COOKIES AND OTHER TRACKING TECHNOLOGIES?

In Short: We may use cookies and similar technologies to collect and store information.

We may use cookies, pixels, local storage, tags, and similar technologies when you interact with our Services. Some technologies support security, prevent crashes, save preferences, enable basic Website functions, remember consent choices, and help us understand Website performance.

Where required, non-essential cookies will be used only after you make a selection through our cookie consent tool. You may update your preferences using the cookie settings or “Manage Cookie Preferences” link available on the Website, when present. Browser settings may also allow you to delete or reject cookies, although doing so may affect Website functionality.

Google Analytics

We may use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use the Services. Google Analytics may collect information such as pages visited, time spent on pages, referring websites, browser and device information, and approximate location derived from IP address. Where legally required, analytics cookies are not activated until consent is provided.

You may learn about Google’s privacy practices by visiting the Google Privacy Policy. Google also provides an Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

CAPTCHA and spam prevention

Contact forms may use a CAPTCHA, anti-spam, firewall, or security service to distinguish human visitors from automated activity. These providers may process IP address, device information, interaction data, and other technical signals under their own privacy policies.

Embedded content and maps

The Website may include embedded maps, videos, social media content, review widgets, or other third-party content. These third parties may collect information or place cookies when you interact with embedded content. Your use of those features is subject to the third party’s privacy practices.

5. HOW LONG DO WE KEEP YOUR INFORMATION?

In Short: We retain information for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this Notice unless a longer period is required or permitted by law.

Retention periods depend on the nature of the information and why it was collected. General Website inquiries may be retained long enough to respond, maintain business records, and follow up on potential projects. Information connected to estimates, contracts, construction projects, accounting, warranties, insurance, permits, disputes, or legal obligations may be kept for a longer period consistent with our operational needs and applicable law.

When we no longer have a legitimate business or legal need to process personal information, we will delete, anonymize, or securely isolate it until deletion is reasonably possible. Backup systems may retain copies for a limited period as part of ordinary disaster recovery processes.

6. HOW DO WE KEEP YOUR INFORMATION SAFE?

In Short: We use reasonable organizational and technical security measures designed to protect personal information.

We have implemented measures designed to protect personal information against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, alteration, or disclosure. These measures may include access controls, secure hosting, software updates, backups, malware monitoring, encryption in transit, and vendor management practices.

Despite these efforts, no electronic transmission over the Internet or information storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure. We cannot promise that unauthorized third parties will never defeat safeguards. You should submit information only through trusted devices and secure connections and avoid sending highly sensitive information through ordinary Website forms or unencrypted email.

7. DO WE COLLECT INFORMATION FROM MINORS?

In Short: We do not knowingly collect personal information from or market to children under 18 years of age.

Our Services are intended for adults seeking construction-related information or services. We do not knowingly solicit or collect personal information from individuals under 18. If we learn that we collected personal information from a child without appropriate authorization, we will take reasonable steps to delete it. Please contact privacy@cyrusmorseconstruction.com if you believe a minor submitted personal information to us.

8. WHAT ARE YOUR PRIVACY RIGHTS?

In Short: Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, restrict, object to, or obtain a copy of personal information.

Applicable privacy laws may give you rights regarding personal information we maintain about you. These rights vary by jurisdiction and may be subject to exceptions. They may include the right to:

Cookies and similar technologies: You may manage non-essential cookie preferences through the Website’s consent tool, where available, or through your browser. Rejecting cookies may affect some features.

Questions about privacy rights may be sent to privacy@cyrusmorseconstruction.com.

9. CONTROLS FOR DO-NOT-TRACK FEATURES

Some browsers and mobile operating systems include a Do-Not-Track (“DNT”) setting intended to signal a preference not to have online browsing activities monitored. Because no single, universally accepted standard governs DNT signals, we do not currently respond to traditional DNT signals unless required by applicable law.

Global Privacy Control: Where required by applicable law and supported by our Website technology, we recognize and honor Global Privacy Control (GPC) signals as a request to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising. You can learn more at globalprivacycontrol.org.
