Privacy
What we collect, and why.
Short version: if you fill in the form we get what you typed, and we use it to call you back. The site also counts visits so we know which pages are worth keeping. Nothing is sold, and nothing is shared with anyone who is not helping us run the business.
When you send us an inquiry
The form on the contact page collects your name, phone number, and whatever else you choose to fill in: email, project type, location, timeline, a description, and optionally a set of plans or drawings.
That goes to Summerlin Contracting, LLC by email so Chad Summerlin can respond. It is used to answer your inquiry and to price and run your project if you go ahead. It is not sold, rented, or passed to anybody outside the people working on your job.
The form is handled by Netlify, who host this website. Submissions are stored in our Netlify account as well as sent on by email. Netlify's privacy terms are at netlify.com/privacy.
Inquiries that do not turn into work are kept for two years, because people often come back to a build a year or more after the first call. Records for projects we build are kept as long as North Carolina requires for construction contracts and warranty work. Ask us to delete yours at any time and we will, unless we are required to keep it.
When you just read the site
This site uses Google Analytics to count visits. It tells us how many people came, which pages they read, roughly where in the country they are, and whether they arrived from a search, from Facebook, or by typing the address in. We use it to decide what to write more of.
Google Analytics sets cookies in your browser and sends Google an anonymized record of the pages you visited. We do not run advertising against this site, and advertising personalization and Google Signals are both switched off in our configuration, so this data is not used to build an advertising profile of you. Google's description of how it handles the data is at policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.
We do not know who you are from this. We never tie an analytics visit to an inquiry, and nothing you type into the form is sent to Google.
Turning analytics off
Three ways, any of which work:
- Open summerlincontracting.com/?ga=off once. That browser stops being counted, on this site only, until you clear its storage. /?ga=on turns it back on.
- Install Google's own opt-out add-on at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout, which covers every site rather than just this one.
- Block cookies or use a content blocker. The site works exactly the same either way.
What we do not do
- No advertising trackers, no retargeting pixels, no third-party ad networks.
- No email list. We do not add you to anything for filling in the form.
- No selling or sharing of personal information, for money or anything else.
- No fonts, scripts or images loaded from anywhere except this site and Google Analytics.
Children
This site is aimed at people hiring a builder. We do not knowingly collect anything from anyone under 13. If you believe a child has sent us information, call and we will delete it.
Your choices
Ask us what we hold about you, ask for a copy, ask for a correction, or ask us to delete it. Call (919) 369-6886 or email chad@summerlincontracting.com. There is no form for this and no waiting period beyond the time it takes Chad Summerlin to get to his desk.
Changes
If this changes, the change appears on this page. There is no version history worth keeping for a site this size, so if the difference matters to you, ask.
