Privacy Policy

Last updated: November 9, 2026

Who we are

This website belongs to GM Ironwood Construction Inc., 1824 79th Ave, Oakland, CA 94621. Phone: (510) 479-2809. Email: [email protected].

What we collect

When you send the estimate form, we receive your name, phone number, email address (if you add it), project type, city or ZIP code (if you add it) and your project description. If you check the text message box, we also record that you agreed, when you agreed, and which page of our website you used. We do not store your IP address in our request records.

If you call, text or email us, we receive the information you choose to share.

How we use it

Only to answer you, schedule a site visit and prepare your estimate. If you checked the text message box, we may also text you about that estimate. We do not sell or share your personal information, and we do not use it for advertising.

Who processes it for us

• Cloudflare, Inc. hosts this website and runs the form. It processes technical data such as your IP address and browser type to deliver and protect the site. Its Turnstile check looks at signals from your browser to tell people apart from spam bots.
• Your request is saved in GM Ironwood's own database on Cloudflare. The web developer that maintains this website for us can access it only to keep the website working; it does not receive copies of requests and does not use them for anything else. No other business receives your request.
• Resend delivers your form as an email to GM Ironwood.
• Our email provider stores the emails we receive.
• If you agree to texts, they are sent through a text message provider.

To stop spam, the form keeps a count linked to a scrambled (hashed) version of your IP address for up to 10 minutes, then deletes it. Your IP address itself is not stored.

Text messages

Agreeing to texts is optional and is not required to get an estimate. Message and data rates may apply. Reply STOP to stop texts at any time, or HELP for help. We do not share your mobile number or your consent to receive texts with anyone for their marketing.

How long we keep it

Estimate requests are kept on the server for up to 24 months, then deleted automatically. We delete them sooner if you ask us to. Copies in our email follow the same period, unless we need them longer for a contract you sign with us or to meet a legal obligation.

Cookies, browser storage and your choices

This website does not set advertising cookies and today it does not run any analytics or marketing tools. It uses your browser’s storage only for what the site needs:

• Your cookie choice (necessary). Saved in your browser’s local storage as “gm-consent”, with the date. We ask again after 12 months, or sooner if we change the categories.
• How you found us (necessary for the form). While the tab is open, your browser keeps the page you came in on and the campaign tags in the link that brought you (such as utm_source, gclid or fbclid) in session storage as “gmi-attr”. They are sent only with your estimate request and erased when you close the tab.
• Security check (necessary). The Turnstile check on the form loads from Cloudflare and may use its own browser storage to tell people apart from spam bots (see Cloudflare’s privacy policy).

The cookie notice has three categories. Necessary is always on. Analytics (counting visits and pages) and Marketing (measuring ads) are off unless you turn them on. If we add tools in those categories, they will load only after you allow them. The language you read the site in is part of the page address (English pages, or Spanish pages under /es/), so it is not stored.

Change your choice at any time with “Cookie settings” at the bottom of every page, or here: open cookie settings. You can also clear this site’s data in your browser settings.

Global Privacy Control. If your browser sends a Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal, we treat it as a request to opt out: analytics and marketing stay off, even if you choose “Accept all”.

WhatsApp. If you write to us on WhatsApp, your message is handled by WhatsApp (Meta Platforms, Inc.) under its own terms and privacy policy. We see your phone number, your WhatsApp name and what you send us, and we use them only to answer about your project. Please do not send sensitive information, such as Social Security, bank or card numbers.

Some links go to other websites, such as Google Maps. Those websites have their own privacy policies.

Your California privacy rights

If you live in California, you can ask us to:

• tell you what personal information we have about you and how we use it;
• delete your personal information;
• correct information that is wrong.

We do not sell or share personal information, so there is nothing to opt out of. We will not treat you differently for using these rights. To make a request, call (510) 479-2809 or email [email protected]. We may ask a few questions to confirm the request is yours, and we will answer within 45 days.

Children

This website is meant for adults. We do not knowingly collect information from children under 16.

Changes

If we change this policy, we will update the date at the top of this page.
