Privacy Policy

Whitley Construction Services (“we,” “us,” or “our”) operates whitleycs.com (the “Site”). This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect when you visit the Site, how we use it, and the choices you have.

Information We Collect

Information Collected Automatically

When you visit the Site, we use Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google LLC, to understand how visitors use the Site. Google Analytics uses cookies and similar identifiers to automatically collect information such as:

• Pages you visit and time spent on each page
• How you arrived at the Site (e.g., search engine, direct link)
• Your approximate geographic location (city/region level)
• Device type, browser, operating system, and screen size
• Your IP address (processed and not logged or stored by Google Analytics 4)

This information is aggregated and does not directly identify you by name.

Information You Provide

If you contact us through the Site (e.g., via the estimate request form, email link, or phone link), we collect the information you choose to provide, such as your name, phone number, email address, and the details of your project. We use this information only to respond to your inquiry.

How Google Uses Your Data

Google processes the data collected by Google Analytics on our behalf. For details on how Google collects and processes data, visit How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services.

Cookies

Cookies are small text files stored on your device. Google Analytics uses cookies to distinguish visitors and measure site usage. You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings. Disabling cookies may affect some Site functionality but will not prevent you from browsing the Site.

Analytics cookies are not set unless you accept them in the consent banner shown on your first visit. Your choice is stored in your browser’s local storage so we do not ask again. You can change or withdraw your consent at any time using the “Cookie Preferences” link in the footer of every page; if you decline, we also remove any Google Analytics cookies previously set by the Site.

Your Choices and Opt-Out

You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking in the following ways:

• Decline analytics cookies in the consent banner shown on your first visit, or change your choice later via the “Cookie Preferences” link in the footer. Analytics cookies are not set unless you accept.
• Install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on
• Adjust your browser settings to block or delete cookies
• Enable “Do Not Track” or similar privacy settings in your browser

Data Sharing

We do not sell your personal information, and we do not share it for cross-context behavioral advertising. Analytics data is shared only with Google as our service provider, as described above. Estimate request form submissions are delivered to us by Resend, an email delivery service that processes your message solely to transmit it to us. We may disclose information if required by law.

Data Retention

Google Analytics data is retained according to our analytics settings, after which it is automatically deleted. Contact form submissions are retained only as long as needed to respond to and follow up on your inquiry.

Legal Bases for Processing

Where laws such as the EU or UK General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) apply, we process personal information on the following legal bases:

• Consent — for analytics cookies, which are used only if you accept them in the consent banner. You may withdraw consent at any time as described above.
• Legitimate interests and steps prior to a contract — for information you send us through the estimate request form, by email, or by phone, which we use to respond to your inquiry.

International Visitors and Data Transfers

We are a construction company based in Houston, Texas, and the Site is operated from the United States. Information collected through the Site is processed and stored in the United States, where data protection laws may differ from those in your country. Our service providers, Google and Resend, maintain their own safeguards for international data transfers, including participation in recognized transfer frameworks and standard contractual clauses.

Your Privacy Rights

Depending on where you live, you may have some or all of the following rights regarding your personal information:

• The right to know what personal information we hold about you and to request a copy
• The right to correct inaccurate information
• The right to request deletion of your information
• The right to receive your information in a portable format
• The right to object to or restrict certain processing
• The right to withdraw consent at any time, without affecting processing that occurred before withdrawal

If you are in the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom, you also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection supervisory authority. If you are a California resident, the rights above correspond to those provided by the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA/CPRA); as noted, we do not sell or share personal information as defined by that law. Residents of other U.S. states with comprehensive privacy laws may have similar rights.

To exercise any of these rights, contact us using the details at the bottom of this page. We will respond within the time required by applicable law and will never discriminate against you for exercising your rights.

Children’s Privacy

The Site is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated effective date.
