Privacy Policy

Introduction

Bark and Build Builders operates this website for homeowners in Redwood City and San Mateo County, CA.

This policy explains how Bark and Build Builders ("we," "us," or "our") handles personal information collected through this website. It applies to all pages on this site. By using this site, you agree to the practices described here. If you have questions, contact us at in**@**********ld.com.

Information We Collect

We collect two types of information: what you submit and what your browser sends automatically.

When you fill out a contact form, we receive the information you provide. This typically includes your name, email address, phone number, and a description of your project. This is called contact form data — personal information you submit voluntarily through a web form. It is considered "personal information" under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), California's state law governing data rights for residents.

We also collect non-identifying usage data automatically. This includes pages visited, time spent on the site, device type, browser type, and approximate geographic location. We do not collect Social Security numbers, payment card data, or financial information through this website.

How We Use Your Information

We use your information to respond to your inquiry and improve how this site works.

Specifically, we use contact form data to:

• Respond to project inquiries and consultation requests
• Follow up on submitted estimates or assessment requests
• Communicate project-related details you asked about

We use analytics data to understand which pages are most useful and how visitors navigate the site. We do not sell your personal information to third parties. We do not use your information for automated decision-making or profiling.

Cookies and Tracking Technologies

This site uses cookies to support basic functionality and track anonymous usage patterns.

A cookie policy covers two types: session cookies and persistent cookies. Session cookies are temporary — they exist only while your browser is open and are deleted when you close it. Persistent cookies stay on your device for a defined period. They are used by analytics tools to recognize returning visitors and measure traffic patterns.

You can control cookie settings through your browser. Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies. Disabling cookies may affect how some pages on this site function.

Third-Party Services

Third-party tools on this site may receive limited data as part of their normal operation.

Third-party data handling refers to data shared with external services that support this website's functionality. This site may use:

• Google Analytics — to track page views, session duration, and traffic sources. Google's data practices are governed by Google's own privacy policy.
• Google Maps — if embedded on any page, Google may collect location or usage data per their terms.
• Form processing services — if a third-party tool processes form submissions, that service handles data under its own privacy policy.

We do not control how third-party services use data they collect independently.

Your Rights and Choices

California residents have specific rights under the CCPA — and we honor every one of them.

The California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) grants California residents these user rights:

• Right to Know — You can request what personal information we have collected about you, why we collected it, and how it has been used.
• Right to Delete — You can request deletion of personal information we hold about you.
• Right to Opt Out — You can opt out of the sale of your personal information. We do not sell personal information, but this right applies regardless.
• Right to Non-Discrimination — Exercising your CCPA rights will not result in any change to the service or attention you receive from us.

To exercise any of these rights, email in**@**********ld.com. We will respond within 45 days as required by California law.

Data Retention

We keep your information only as long as needed to respond to your inquiry or meet legal requirements.

Contact form submissions are retained for a reasonable period to support project follow-up and records. Analytics data is retained according to the retention settings of the analytics provider. When data is no longer needed for its original purpose, we delete or anonymize it.

Children's Privacy

This website is not directed at children under 13.

We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under the age of 13. If you believe a minor has submitted information through this site, contact us at in**@**********ld.com and we will delete it promptly.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy when our data practices change.

When we make material changes, we will update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page. Continued use of the site after changes are posted means you accept the updated policy. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
