1. Introduction

Johnstone-McAuliffe Construction (“JMC,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) respects your privacy and is committed to handling personal information responsibly.
This Website Privacy, Cookies & Information Practices policy explains how information may be collected, used, retained, and disclosed when you visit https://www.jmc-usa.net/ (the “Website”), submit a contact form, or communicate with our business.
Our Website provides information about JMC, our construction services, and our projects. It allows visitors to learn about our work and contact us with questions or project inquiries.
The Website does not process financial transactions or accept payments.
This policy describes our intended information practices. Certain technical details, including the specific CAPTCHA service, analytics tools, and cookie technologies used by the Website, have not yet been confirmed. Where appropriate, this policy distinguishes between practices that may occur and those that have been verified.

2. Information We May Collect

The information collected depends on how you interact with our Website and business.

Information You Provide

When you submit the Website's contact form or communicate with JMC, we may collect:

• Your name.
• Your email address.
• Your telephone number, if provided.
• The contents of your message or inquiry.
• Information about your construction project, property, or requested services.
• Information you voluntarily provide through email, telephone calls, text messages, or other business communications.

Please provide only information reasonably necessary for your inquiry. Do not submit sensitive or confidential information through the general contact form.

Information Collected Automatically

When you visit the Website, certain technical information may be collected by the Website, its hosting infrastructure, or security services, depending on their configuration.
This information may include:

• Internet Protocol (IP) address.
• Browser type and version.
• Device and operating system information.
• Pages visited and approximate visit duration.
• Referring website or page.
• Date and time of access.
• Technical information used to diagnose errors, maintain security, or prevent abuse.

The specific information collected automatically depends on the technologies and services actually operating on the Website.

3. How We Use Information

We may use information collected through the Website and our business communications to:

• Respond to questions and project inquiries.
• Communicate with prospective and existing clients.
• Discuss project requirements and requested services.
• Arrange consultations, meetings, or follow-up communications.
• Maintain business correspondence and appropriate records.
• Operate, maintain, troubleshoot, and improve the Website.
• Detect spam, investigate suspicious activity, and protect Website security.
• Comply with applicable legal, contractual, and recordkeeping obligations.
• Protect our rights, property, and legitimate business interests.

We do not claim to use information for advertising, behavioral profiling, or other purposes unless those practices are actually implemented and appropriately disclosed.

4. Contact Forms and CAPTCHA

The Website includes a contact form through which visitors can send inquiries to JMC. The form requests a name and email address and provides an optional telephone number field.
Information submitted through the form is used to receive, review, and respond to the inquiry.
The form also uses CAPTCHA or similar anti-spam protection. This technology is intended to help distinguish legitimate submissions from automated or abusive activity.
The specific CAPTCHA provider has not yet been confirmed. Depending on the provider and configuration, the service may process technical information, such as IP addresses, browser details, device information, or interaction data, to assess whether a submission is legitimate.
The provider may have its own privacy policy and terms governing its services. JMC's disclosures should be updated if needed once the specific provider is identified.
Information submitted through an online form may be transmitted or processed by third-party service providers involved in delivering and protecting the form.
Please avoid submitting confidential information through the general contact form.

5. Email, Telephone, and Text Message Communications

JMC may communicate with prospective and existing clients through email, telephone calls, and text messages.
Information received through these channels may include contact details, message contents, project information, and related correspondence. We may use and retain this information as reasonably necessary to respond to inquiries, coordinate services, manage business relationships, maintain records, and meet applicable legal or contractual obligations.
Communications may be handled through third-party email, telephone, or messaging providers. Those providers may process information necessary to deliver and support their services.
The extent to which communications are retained, and the applicable retention periods, have not been confirmed. We do not represent that all communications are recorded or retained for a particular period.
Providing contact information for an inquiry does not, by itself, constitute consent to unrelated marketing communications.

6. Cookies and Similar Technologies

Cookies are small text files that websites may store on your device. Websites may also use similar technologies for functionality, security, analytics, and other purposes.
Depending on the Website's actual configuration, cookies or similar technologies may be used to:

• Support essential Website functionality.
• Help maintain security and prevent abuse.
• Remember certain preferences.
• Measure Website performance or visitor activity, if analytics tools are enabled.

The specific cookies and tracking technologies currently used by JMC's Website have not yet been verified. This policy therefore does not assert that any particular analytics, advertising, or tracking service is active.
You can manage or restrict cookies through your browser settings. Blocking certain cookies may affect Website functionality.
 

Accessibility Tools

The Website includes the Sienna Accessibility widget, which provides visitors with tools intended to make the Website easier to use and navigate according to individual accessibility preferences.
Depending on the widget's available features and configuration, interactions may involve adjustments to how Website content is displayed or presented. The widget or its service provider may process technical information or preference settings necessary to provide its functionality.
The widget is intended to improve website accessibility and usability. It does not guarantee that the Website will meet every individual's accessibility needs or satisfy all applicable accessibility standards or legal requirements.
For information about any data collected or processed by the widget, visitors should consult the applicable service provider's privacy information.
If analytics tools, advertising pixels, embedded third-party content, or other tracking technologies are enabled, the policy should be updated to identify those technologies and accurately describe their information practices.

7. Website Hosting and Service Providers

The Website is hosted through SparkDog. Website hosting and related technical services may involve processing information necessary to deliver Website pages, maintain availability, troubleshoot errors, and protect against abuse.
Depending on the services and configuration in use, hosting infrastructure or associated providers may process technical information such as IP addresses, access logs, browser details, and security-related information.
The specific hosting logs, retention periods, and technical services used for JMC have not been independently confirmed for purposes of this policy.
Service providers may process information on JMC's behalf to provide their contracted services. Their handling of information is subject to the applicable service arrangements and legal requirements.

8. Third-Party Websites and External Links

The Website contains links to third-party websites and services, including:

• Google Business Profile.
• Facebook.
• Instagram.
• LinkedIn.
• Pinterest.
• Yelp.
• Houzz.

These links allow visitors to find JMC's business listings, social media profiles, reviews, and other information.
These are ordinary outbound links. Based on the information currently available, they are not embedded third-party feeds or content displayed directly within the Website.
When you click an external link, you leave JMC's Website and become subject to the destination website's privacy policy, terms, and data practices.
Third-party platforms may collect information about your visit, account, device, browser, IP address, and interactions with their services. They may also use cookies or similar technologies under their own policies.
JMC does not control the independent privacy practices, security measures, or data retention policies of these platforms. The presence of a link does not mean JMC controls or endorses all of the linked service's practices.
Please review the applicable third-party privacy policy before using a linked service.

9. No Online Financial Transactions

JMC's Website is informational and does not process financial transactions or accept online payments.
The Website does not provide an online checkout process or request payment card information through the contact form.
If financial or billing information is needed for a construction project or another business arrangement, it should be handled through the appropriate business process rather than submitted through the general Website contact form.

10. Photography, Portfolio Images, and Intellectual Property

Photographs displayed on the Website showcase JMC's projects, craftsmanship, services, and professional work. The photographs are JMC's own and are not offered for sale.
All Website photographs are provided for viewing and informational purposes only. Viewing an image does not grant permission to download, reproduce, distribute, modify, publish, or otherwise use it.
Unless expressly authorized in writing by the applicable rights holder or permitted by law, visitors may not:

• Reproduce or republish photographs or portfolio images.
• Use photographs in commercial materials, advertising, or promotional content.
• Copy images for another website, social media account, or online portfolio.
• Remove copyright notices or ownership information.
• Represent JMC's photographs or project images as their own work.

Copyright and other applicable intellectual property rights remain with their respective owners. Unauthorized use may violate applicable copyright or other laws.
Visitors who wish to request permission to use a photograph or other visual material should contact JMC directly.

11. How We Share Information

JMC may disclose personal information in limited circumstances when reasonably necessary for business operations or otherwise permitted or required by law.
Service providers: Information may be processed by providers that support Website hosting, contact forms, CAPTCHA protection, email, telephone, security, or other necessary business functions.
Business communications: Information may be used or disclosed as reasonably necessary to respond to an inquiry, coordinate requested services, or manage a business relationship.
Legal obligations: Information may be disclosed when required by law, valid legal process, or applicable regulatory obligations.
Protection of rights and security: Information may be disclosed when reasonably necessary to investigate suspected fraud, address security concerns, resolve disputes, or protect the rights, property, and safety of JMC or others.
Business changes: Information may be transferred in connection with a merger, acquisition, restructuring, or sale of business assets, subject to applicable legal requirements.
JMC does not sell personal information for monetary consideration. Whether a particular disclosure or use qualifies as a legally defined sale or sharing of personal information under California law depends on the actual circumstances and applicable legal definitions.
JMC's use of the third-party links listed in this policy does not, by itself, mean that JMC discloses visitors' personal information to those platforms.

12. Data Retention

JMC may retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary to respond to inquiries, manage business relationships, maintain appropriate business records, resolve disputes, and comply with legal or contractual obligations.
Actual retention periods may vary depending on the type of information, the purpose for which it was collected, and applicable business or legal requirements.
A specific retention schedule for contact form submissions, Website logs, and other communications has not been confirmed. This policy does not promise a fixed deletion date.
Information that is no longer reasonably necessary may be deleted or otherwise disposed of, subject to applicable legal requirements and legitimate business needs.

13. Data Security

JMC takes reasonable steps appropriate to its business and the information involved to protect personal information against unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, loss, or misuse.
Depending on the systems and services involved, safeguards may include Website security measures, access restrictions, hosting-provider protections, and reasonable administrative practices.
However, no website, electronic transmission, storage system, or communication method can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
Visitors should avoid submitting sensitive or confidential information through general-purpose Website forms or unsecured communications unless an appropriate method has been arranged.

14. Children's Privacy

The Website is intended for individuals seeking information about professional construction services. It is not directed specifically to children under the age of 13, and JMC does not knowingly solicit personal information from children under 13 through the Website.
If JMC becomes aware that personal information has been collected from a child under 13 in circumstances requiring parental authorization or other action under applicable law, it will take reasonable steps to address the matter as legally required.
A parent or legal guardian who believes a child has submitted personal information through the Website may contact JMC using the information in the section below.

15. California Privacy Rights

California residents may have privacy rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act, as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (collectively, the “CCPA”), and other applicable laws.
The CCPA does not automatically apply to every California business. Applicability depends on the business meeting the law's applicable definitions and thresholds and on any relevant exemptions.
If the CCPA applies to JMC, eligible California residents may have rights that include:

• Right to know and access: Request certain information about personal information collected, used, disclosed, sold, or shared, as applicable.
• Right to delete: Request deletion of personal information, subject to applicable exceptions.
• Right to correct: Request correction of inaccurate personal information.
• Right to opt out: Direct a covered business to stop selling or sharing personal information as those terms are defined by applicable law.
• Right to limit certain uses: Where applicable, limit certain uses and disclosures of sensitive personal information.
• Right to non-discrimination: Exercise applicable privacy rights without unlawful discriminatory treatment.

These rights are subject to applicable eligibility requirements, verification procedures, exceptions, and legal limitations.
JMC does not sell personal information for monetary consideration. However, the use of certain advertising or tracking technologies, if present, can have legal implications under California's definition of sharing. JMC's actual use of such technologies has not yet been confirmed.
If JMC is subject to the CCPA, it will provide the disclosures, request methods, response procedures, and opt-out mechanisms required for its actual practices.

How to Submit a Privacy Inquiry or Request

For questions about this policy or to make a privacy-related inquiry, contact JMC using the email address listed in Section 17.
Please identify the nature of your request so it can be reviewed appropriately. Where permitted or required by law, JMC may request reasonable information to verify identity or clarify a request.
JMC will review and respond to requests in accordance with applicable legal requirements. Certain information may need to be retained where permitted or required by law, including for legal compliance, security, recordkeeping, or the establishment or defense of legal claims.
If the CCPA applies, additional designated request methods or procedures may be required. The appropriate process should be confirmed before this policy is published as a statement of full CCPA compliance.
