Privacy Policy

Last Updated: June 29, 2026

At Van Alstine Construction, we value your privacy. This policy explains how we handle your information when you use our website or submit a review.

1. Information We Collect

We collect information that you voluntarily provide to us, including:

• Contact Information: Your name, email address, and phone number when you contact us or submit a review.
• Review Content: Any text, ratings, or photos you upload as part of a project review.
• Usage Data: Basic technical information about how you use our site (like your IP address and browser type).

2. Why We Ask for Phone and Email in Reviews

When you submit a review, we ask for your email address and/or phone number for two specific reasons:

• Verification: To ensure that the review comes from a real customer who has actually worked with us.
• Follow-up: To allow us to contact you if there are any questions about your project or if we need to resolve an issue mentioned in your review.

Important: Your email and phone number are kept private. They are only visible to our administrators and are never displayed publicly on the website. Only your name and the content of your review will be shown if you choose to make it public.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use your information to:

• Provide and improve our construction services.
• Display customer testimonials and reviews (with your permission).
• Respond to your inquiries and provide customer support.
• Maintain the security and integrity of our website.

4. Cookies and Storage

Our website uses the following technologies to enhance your experience:

• Cookies: We use cookies to remember your preferences, maintain your session, and track basic usage patterns. These help us provide a better experience when you return to our site.
• Local Storage: We may store certain non-sensitive information locally on your device (such as your preferences or form data) to improve usability and reduce the need to re-enter information.
• Session Storage: Temporary data may be stored during your current session to maintain functionality and security. This data is cleared when you close your browser.

You can control cookies through your browser settings. Disabling cookies may affect some features of our website.

5. Age Restrictions

Important: Our review system is intended for users who are 18 years of age or older. By submitting a review, you confirm that you are at least 18 years old. We do not knowingly collect reviews from individuals under 18. If we become aware that a review has been submitted by someone under 18, we will remove it immediately.

6. Data Protection

We take reasonable measures to protect your personal information from unauthorized access or disclosure. Review data, including contact details, is stored securely and encrypted where appropriate.

7. Legal Compliance

Van Alstine Construction complies with applicable privacy laws and regulations, including:

• Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA): We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. Our review system is restricted to users 18 and older.

If you have concerns about how your data is being handled or wish to exercise your privacy rights, please contact us.

8. Your Choices

You can choose not to provide certain information, though it may prevent you from using certain features (like submitting a review). If you have submitted a review and wish to have it removed or updated, please contact us.
