Effective Date: October 20, 2025 Welcome to Build the Block Construction (“Build the Block,” “we,” “our,” or “us“). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard personal information when you visit buildtheblockconstruction.com (the “Site“), contact us, request an estimate, or otherwise interact with us. If you are looking for our Terms of Service, you can find them at https://buildtheblockconstruction.com/terms/. For a printable version of this Privacy Policy, simply print this page from your browser. Scope. This Policy applies to personal information we process as a business, including via the Site, phone, email, forms, live chat, and advertising channels. It does not replace the privacy terms in any project contract or Master Service Agreement you sign with us; those documents govern your project relationship with us.

1) Who We Are & How to Contact Us

• Company legal name: Build the Block Construction, LLC
• Email: buildtheblockconstruction@gmail.com

2) Notice at Collection (What We Collect and Why)

We may collect the categories of personal information listed below. We collect this information directly from you (e.g., forms, calls), automatically (e.g., cookies, analytics), and from service providers (e.g., advertising or scheduling tools):

• Identifiers (e.g., name, email, phone, IP address) — used to respond to inquiries, schedule estimates, provide services, personalize communications, secure our Site, and comply with law.
• Customer Records/Commercial Information (e.g., project address, photos you share, service history, communications, estimates/quotes) — used to prepare proposals, deliver services, manage warranty inquiries, and maintain records.
• Internet/Network Activity (e.g., pages viewed, device/browser info, referral URLs) — used for Site operations, debugging, analytics, and improving content.
• Approximate Geolocation — used to route inquiries to correct service areas and provide relevant information.
• User‑Generated Content (e.g., reviews, testimonials, images) — used for customer support and, with permission or as allowed by law, marketing.
• Professional/Employment Info (if you apply for a job) — used for hiring and compliance.
• Sensitive Personal Information. We do not seek to collect sensitive personal information. Please do not submit government IDs, financial account numbers, health information, or precise geolocation via the Site.
• Retention. We keep personal information as long as needed for the purposes above, including to meet legal, tax, accounting, and safety obligations (typically the duration of our relationship plus a reasonable period, e.g., 3–7 years, unless a longer period is required by law or to protect our rights).

3) Cookies, Analytics & Advertising

We use cookies and similar technologies to operate the Site, understand usage, and (if enabled) measure/serve ads. You can control cookies via your browser settings. Blocking some cookies may impact Site functionality. If we use third‑party analytics (e.g., Google Analytics) or ad partners, those parties may set their own cookies to help us measure performance and, where applicable, provide interest‑based ads.

• Manage Cookies: You can typically disable or delete cookies via your browser settings. Some browsers also support the Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal; where feasible, we treat a valid GPC signal as a request to opt out of “sale”/“sharing” for cross‑context behavioral advertising on this browser.
• Advertising Choices: To learn about interest‑based advertising opt‑outs, you may visit industry sites such as the DAA or NAI (your choices are browser/device‑specific and may reset if you clear cookies).

4) How We Use Personal Information

• Provide, operate, and secure the Site and our services
• Respond to inquiries and schedule on‑site estimates
• Prepare quotes and contracts and manage customer relationships
• Send administrative messages and (where permitted) marketing communications
• Debug, analyze, and improve the Site, products, and services
• Detect, prevent, and respond to fraud, abuse, or security incidents
• Comply with applicable law and enforce our Terms of Service

5) How We Share Personal Information

We may disclose personal information to:

• Service Providers performing services for us (e.g., hosting, analytics, customer support, scheduling, payment processors). They are contractually restricted from using personal information for their own purposes.
• Advertising/Analytics Partners (if enabled) to measure performance and provide interest‑based ads. See Cookies & Advertising above for opt‑out options.
• Business Transfers in connection with a merger, acquisition, or asset sale.
• Legal/Compliance recipients if required by law or to protect rights, safety, and property.

We do not knowingly sell personal information for money. If our use of advertising cookies/elements is interpreted as a “sale” or “sharing” under certain state privacy laws, you may opt out by using browser controls, disabling advertising cookies, or sending a request (see Your Privacy Rights).
