Privacy Policy

1. Who We Are

This Privacy Policy applies to Hallmark San Mateo Asphalt Paving, an asphalt paving contractor based in San Mateo, CA. Our website is located at sanmateoasphaltpavingcompany.com. If you have questions about this policy, you can reach us at estimates@sanmateoasphaltpavingcompany.com.

2. Information We Collect

We collect information in two ways: directly from you when you voluntarily provide it, and automatically through standard web technologies when you visit our site.

Information you provide

When you submit a contact or estimate request form on our website, we collect the information you enter - such as your name, phone number, email address, property address, and a description of your project. We only collect what you choose to give us.

Information collected automatically

Like most websites, our site collects basic technical data when you visit: your IP address, browser type, device type, operating system, referring URL, pages visited, and time of visit. This data is collected through cookies and similar technologies.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect for the following purposes:

• To respond to your estimate requests and contact inquiries.
• To schedule and carry out the services you request.
• To communicate with you about your project, including scheduling, status updates, and follow-up.
• To improve our website and understand how visitors use it, using anonymized analytics data.
• To comply with legal obligations when required.

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties for their marketing purposes.

4. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

Our website uses cookies - small text files stored on your browser - to improve your experience and collect analytics data. The types of cookies we may use include:

• Essential cookies: Required for basic website functions.
• Analytics cookies: Help us understand how visitors use the site so we can improve it. This data is aggregate and does not personally identify you.
• Form functionality cookies: Used by our third-party form provider to process estimate and contact submissions.

You can control cookies through your browser settings. Disabling cookies may affect some site functionality. We do not use cookies for retargeting or advertising purposes.

5. Third-Party Services

Our website uses third-party tools to operate certain features. These providers may process your data under their own privacy policies:

• Form processing: Contact and estimate forms are powered by a third-party form service. Information you submit through these forms is transmitted to and stored by that provider.
• Web analytics: We may use an analytics platform to understand site traffic and user behavior. Data collected is anonymized and aggregated.
• Google Maps: An embedded map on our site is provided by Google Maps. Your interaction with that map is subject to Google's Privacy Policy.

We do not share your personally identifiable information with these providers beyond what is necessary to operate the service.

6. Data Retention

We retain contact and estimate request information for as long as it is needed to fulfill the purpose for which it was collected - typically for the duration of a project engagement and a reasonable period afterward for follow-up or record-keeping purposes. We do not store form submission data indefinitely. Analytics data is retained in aggregate form and does not personally identify individual visitors.

7. Your Rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights regarding the personal information we hold about you, including:

• The right to know what information we have collected about you.
• The right to request correction of inaccurate information.
• The right to request deletion of your information, subject to legal retention requirements.
• The right to opt out of certain uses of your information.

California residents may have additional rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and its amendments. To exercise any of your rights, contact us at estimates@sanmateoasphaltpavingcompany.com. We will respond to verified requests within the timeframe required by applicable law.

8. Security

We take reasonable steps to protect the information collected through our website. Our site uses HTTPS encryption to protect data in transit. However, no method of internet transmission or electronic storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

9. Children

Our website is not directed to children under 13 years of age. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe we have inadvertently collected information from a child, please contact us at estimates@sanmateoasphaltpavingcompany.com and we will promptly delete it.
