This policy explains what information we collect through this website, why we collect it, who it is shared with, and what rights you have over it.
When you submit our estimate request form, we collect the fields you complete:
If you email or call us directly, we receive whatever information you choose to share.
When you submit the form, our system also records:
Separately, when you browse the site, Google Analytics collects usage data as described below. Our hosting provider also keeps standard server logs.
We do not ask for, and you should not send us, sensitive information through this website — no Social Security numbers, financial account details, or payment card numbers. If a project requires that kind of information, we will arrange a secure method separately.
We do not use your information to send marketing newsletters, and we do not add you to a mailing list from a form submission.
This site uses Google Analytics 4 (measurement ID G-H0DNEQ57NG) to understand how visitors find and use the site. Google Analytics sets cookies in your browser and collects information including:
Google processes this data on our behalf. Google's own handling of the data is governed by its privacy policy at policies.google.com/privacy. You can prevent Google Analytics from collecting your data entirely by installing Google's opt-out browser add-on at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout, or by blocking cookies in your browser settings.
Our pages load typefaces from Google Fonts. This means your browser requests files from Google's servers, which involves transmitting your IP address to Google.
We honor the Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal where your browser sends it. Because browser Do Not Track headers are not interpreted consistently across the industry, we do not rely on them.
We do not sell your personal information, and we do not share it for cross-context behavioral advertising. We have never done so.
We use the following service providers, who process data only to provide their service to us:
| Provider | Purpose | What it handles |
|---|---|---|
| Vercel | Website hosting | Serves the site; keeps standard server logs including IP addresses |
| Resend | Email delivery | Delivers your form submission to us and the confirmation email to you |
| Upstash | Data storage | Stores estimate request submissions so they are not lost if email fails |
| Google Analytics | Website analytics | Usage and traffic data via cookies |
| Google Fonts | Typefaces | Receives your IP address when fonts load |
We may also disclose information where we are legally required to, such as in response to a subpoena or court order, or where necessary to protect our legal rights or someone's safety.
We are a family-owned contractor. Your project details are not a product and are not shared with lead-generation services, marketing companies, or other contractors.
Estimate requests are retained in our email and in the storage described above for as long as needed to respond to you and to maintain records of projects and inquiries. As a contractor we have legitimate reasons to keep records of work discussed and performed, including warranty and legal obligations.
Google Analytics data is retained according to the retention period configured in our Analytics account.
If you would like your inquiry deleted, contact us and we will delete it unless we are required to keep it.
California residents have rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act, as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CCPA/CPRA). Regardless of whether we currently meet the law's applicability thresholds, we extend these rights to anyone who asks:
Email info@howardconstructioninc.com or call (707) 578-6565. Tell us which right you are exercising. We will need to verify your identity, generally by confirming details that match what we already hold, and we will respond within 45 days. An authorized agent may make a request on your behalf with written permission.
This website is intended for homeowners and property owners. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 16. If you believe a child has submitted information to us, contact us and we will delete it.
The site is served over HTTPS, and form submissions are transmitted encrypted. Our service providers maintain their own security measures. That said, no method of transmitting or storing data over the internet is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
This site links to external resources such as the California Contractors State License Board, Google, Houzz and the Better Business Bureau. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those sites, and this policy does not apply to them.
If we change how we handle information, we will update this page and change the effective date at the top. Material changes will be reflected here before they take effect.
