Example Contracting Co.

Privacy Policy

Effective and last updated January 1, 2027

This policy explains what Example Contracting Co. collects through aeogorilla.com, why, who helps us handle it, and the choices you have. It covers this website only.

What we collect

When you send us a message through a form on this site, we collect what you type into it: your first and last name, email address, phone number, the service you need and your message, including anything you choose to tell us in it, such as details of your project, your property or your business.

We also keep a record of your consent: that you ticked the box, the exact words beside it, the page you sent the form from, the date and time, and the IP address of the device you used.

Like most websites, our hosting provider automatically records technical details when you visit, such as your IP address, your browser, the pages you open and when. These are used to run and protect the site.

The site has no accounts or logins, it never asks for payment details, and we don't collect sensitive personal information such as government ID numbers, financial account details or precise location.

How we use it

We use the information you send us to:

  • reply to your message and talk with you about your project
  • contact you by phone call, text message and email about your project and our services, as you agreed when you sent the form
  • keep a record of your message and of your consent
  • keep the site secure and stop spam
  • meet our legal obligations

We don't use it for anything else, and we don't use it to make automated decisions about you.

Calls, texts and emails

When you tick the consent box and send a form, you agree that Example Contracting Co. may contact you by phone call, text message and email, at the number and address you gave, about your project and our services. Message and data rates may apply to texts, and how often we contact you depends on your project. Reply HELP to any text for help.

You can stop at any time, in any reasonable way: reply STOP to any text, tell us on a call, reply to any email, or contact us using the details at the end of this policy. We will stop as soon as we can, and within 10 business days at most.

You don't have to agree to calls, texts or emails to work with us or to buy anything from us. You can call us at (555) 010-0000 or email hello@example.com instead.

We never share your phone number, or your consent to receive texts, with third parties or affiliates for their marketing or promotional purposes.

Who we share it with

We don't sell your personal information, we don't share it for advertising, and we don't give it to other companies for their own marketing.

A few service providers handle it on our behalf, only to run this site and pass your message to our team:

  • our website host, Laravel Cloud, which runs the site and keeps the messages you send in private storage
  • our email delivery service, Resend, which sends your message to our team
  • Contractor Gorilla, the company that builds and looks after this website

We may also disclose information when the law requires it, to protect our rights or the safety of others, or as part of a sale or merger of our business.

How long we keep it

We keep the messages sent through this site, with the record of your consent, for at least five years, so we have a record of what you asked and of the permission you gave. We keep them longer only while we still need them for the purposes above, such as a project we are working on with you, or where the law requires it.

Our hosting provider keeps its technical records only as long as it needs them to run and protect the site.

Cookies and your browser

This site only uses what it needs to work:

  • two cookies that keep the site's forms secure and remember what you typed if something needs fixing. They expire two hours after your last visit
  • a note kept in your browser for the tab you are using, so that reloading a page brings you back to where you were reading. It is cleared when you close the tab
  • our hosting provider may set a cookie that tells people apart from automated traffic, to protect the site

We don't use analytics, advertising or social media tracking, and no other company collects information about what you do on this site to follow you across other websites. So the site works the same whether or not your browser sends a Do Not Track or Global Privacy Control signal.

Your rights and choices

You can ask us to:

  • tell you what personal information we hold about you, where it came from, why we have it and who we have shared it with, and give you a copy
  • correct anything that is wrong
  • delete it, except what the law requires us to keep, such as the record of your consent

Because we don't sell or share personal information, or use sensitive personal information, there is nothing to opt out of or limit. We won't treat you differently for asking about any of this.

To ask, email hello@example.com or call (555) 010-0000. We may need to confirm it's you, usually by checking details you gave us, and we will only use what you tell us for that. Someone you authorize can ask for you, with your signed permission. We will confirm we received your request within 10 business days and answer within 45 days; if we need longer, we will tell you why, and take no more than another 45 days.

If we decline any part of your request, we will explain why, and you can ask us to reconsider by replying to our answer.

Depending on where you live, some or all of these rights are yours by law. We offer them to everyone who uses this site.

Keeping it safe

The site only works over a secure (HTTPS) connection, and the messages you send are kept in private storage that only Example Contracting Co. and the people who look after this website can reach. No way of sending or storing information is completely secure, but we work to protect yours.

Children

This site is meant for adults looking for a contractor. We don't knowingly collect information from anyone under 16. If you think a child has sent us their details, contact us and we will delete them.

Other websites

Links on this site, such as to our social media pages or a map, take you to websites with their own privacy policies. We don't control them and aren't responsible for them.

What privacy laws ask us to list

In the last 12 months, this site has collected these categories of personal information, from you and from your device, for the purposes above:

  • identifiers: your name, email address, phone number and IP address, and any street address you include in your message
  • commercial information: the service you are interested in
  • professional information: anything you choose to tell us about your job or your business
  • internet activity: the technical details your browser sends when you visit

We have disclosed each of these, for business purposes, only to the service providers listed above. We have not sold or shared any personal information, including that of anyone under 16, and we don't give personal information to third parties for their direct marketing. We collect no sensitive personal information.

Changes to this policy

We review this policy at least once a year. If we change it, we will update it on this page and change the date at the top.
