G & C Drywalls LLC ("G&C Drywall", "we", "us", or "our") is a family-owned drywall contractor based in Central New Jersey. We respect your privacy and collect only what we need to answer your questions and quote your project.
This Privacy Policy explains what personal information we collect through this website and when you call or email us, how we use and share it, how long we keep it, and the choices and rights you have. The short version: we use your information to reply to you and to do the work you ask us to do. We do not sell your personal information, and we do not use it for targeted advertising or profiling.
1. Who this policy covers
This policy applies to visitors of this website and to anyone who contacts us by our contact form, email, or phone, including homeowners, property managers, builders, and other business clients. It does not cover websites or services run by other companies, even if we link to them.
Work we perform for you is also governed by the written contract for that project. If that contract contains different privacy terms, the contract controls for that project.
2. Information we collect
Information you give us
When you use our contact form, we collect:
- Your name and email address (required), so we can reply.
- Your company name (optional).
- The service you are interested in (optional).
- Your message, including any details about your property, project, or timeline you choose to share.
- A record that you accepted this Privacy Policy, with the date and time you sent the form.
If you call, email, or text us, we receive whatever you choose to share, such as your phone number, address, photos of the job, and project details. If you hire us, we also collect the information needed to quote, schedule, perform, and invoice the work.
Please do not send sensitive information through the form, such as Social Security numbers, bank or card details, or health information. We never need it to give you an estimate.
Information collected automatically
Like almost every website, some technical information is collected automatically when you visit:
- Server logs. Our hosting provider records technical details of each request, such as your IP address, approximate location derived from it, browser and device type, pages requested, referring page, and the date and time.
- Spam protection. Our contact form uses Google reCAPTCHA, which analyzes information such as your IP address, browser and device details, and how you interact with the page to tell people apart from automated bots.
- Fonts. Our pages load fonts from Google Fonts. To deliver them, your browser sends Google your IP address and standard request information. Google states that the Fonts service does not set cookies.
Cookies and similar technologies
We use only a small number of strictly necessary cookies and similar technologies, explained in our Cookie Policy. We do not currently use analytics or advertising cookies.
3. How we use your information
We use personal information only for the following purposes:
- To respond to your inquiry and send you an automatic confirmation that we received it.
- To prepare estimates, schedule site visits, perform and invoice work, and provide after-job service.
- To keep our website and contact form secure and to prevent spam, fraud, and abuse.
- To keep business records and meet our legal, tax, insurance, and licensing obligations.
- To protect our rights and the safety of our customers, crew, and others, and to resolve disputes.
We do not send marketing newsletters. If we ever want to send you promotional emails, we will ask for your permission first, and every such email will let you unsubscribe.
5. Online tracking, Do Not Track, and Global Privacy Control
We do not allow third parties to collect personal information about your online activities over time or across other websites through our website, except for the limited security processing by Google reCAPTCHA described above.
Do Not Track. Some browsers can send a "Do Not Track" signal. Because there is no common standard for how websites should respond to it, our website does not respond to Do Not Track signals. Since we do not track you across websites, this makes no practical difference today.
Global Privacy Control. We honor the Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal. If your browser sends it, we treat it as a request to opt out of any sale or sharing of your information for targeted advertising, and our cookie settings will keep marketing cookies switched off.
6. How long we keep information
We keep personal information only as long as we need it for the purposes above:
- Inquiries that do not become a project: up to 24 months after our last contact with you, then deleted.
- Customer and project records (estimates, contracts, invoices, correspondence, job photos): as long as needed to honor warranties and meet legal, tax, and insurance requirements, generally up to 7 years after the project ends.
- Email delivery logs at EmailJS: kept by EmailJS for a short period (up to 30 days, depending on our plan) to confirm delivery, then deleted automatically.
- Server logs at our host: kept by Vercel for a limited period for security and operations.
- Your cookie choice: stored in your own browser for up to 12 months, or until you clear it.
We may keep information longer if the law requires it or if it is needed to resolve a dispute or enforce our agreements.
7. How we protect information
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards appropriate to the size of our business and the type of information we hold. These include encrypted connections (HTTPS) across the whole website, spam protection on our contact form, strong passwords on our business accounts, and limiting access to the people who need it to serve you.
No method of sending or storing information over the internet is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security. If a data breach affecting your personal information ever occurs, we will notify you and the appropriate authorities as required by the laws of New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, or your state.
8. Your choices and rights
Wherever you live, you can ask us to:
- Access the personal information we hold about you and receive a copy in a portable format.
- Correct information that is inaccurate.
- Delete your personal information, unless we need to keep it for a legal reason or to complete work you asked for.
- Opt out of any sale of personal information, targeted advertising, or profiling. We do not do any of these, but you are welcome to record your choice.
- Withdraw consent you have given, such as for optional cookies, at any time. This does not affect anything we did before you withdrew it.
