Privacy Policy

Last updated: November 2026

This policy explains what information Dalgarno Construction, Inc. (“Dalgarno,” “we,” “us”) collects through dalgarno.net, how we use it, and the choices you have. We’re a small, family-run builder, and we keep this simple: we collect only what we need to answer your inquiry, and we never sell it.

What we collect

Information you send us

When you fill in one of our forms, we receive what you enter:

your name and email address;
your phone number, if you choose to give it;
details about your project, such as where you’re building, your timing, whether you have an architect, and anything you tell us in your message.

If you email or call us, we receive the information you share that way too.

Information collected automatically

Like most websites, ours receives basic technical information when you visit, such as your IP address, browser type, the pages you view and the site that referred you. We also use Google Analytics to see, in aggregate, how people find and use the site: for example, which pages are visited, how long visits last, roughly where visitors are (by city or region) and which sites sent them. Google Analytics collects this with cookies (see below). We don’t use it to identify you personally.

How we use it

To reply to your inquiry and talk with you about your project.
To keep a record of our conversations with prospective and current clients.
To protect the site and our forms from spam and abuse.
To understand, in aggregate, which pages people visit, so we can improve the site.

We don’t sell or rent your information, and we don’t use it for advertising. We won’t add you to a mailing list.

Who we share it with

We share information only with the services that run this website for us, and only so they can do that work:

Our web host, which stores the site and the messages sent through our forms.
Our email provider, which delivers form messages to our inbox.
Google Sheets, where we keep a private log of the inquiries we receive.
Google Analytics, which provides our visitor statistics. See how Google uses information from sites that use its services and Google’s privacy policy.
Cloudflare Turnstile, which checks that form submissions come from a person rather than a bot. See Cloudflare’s privacy policy.

We may also share information if the law requires it, or to protect our rights or the safety of others.

Cookies

Cookies are small files a website stores in your browser. We use two kinds:

Analytics cookies from Google Analytics, which tell apart new and returning visitors so our visitor statistics are accurate.
Sign-in cookies that WordPress uses only when our own staff sign in to edit the site.

We don’t use advertising cookies. You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings, and the site will still work. To opt out of Google Analytics on every website, you can install Google’s opt-out browser add-on.

How long we keep it

We keep inquiries for as long as we need them to respond and to keep reasonable business records. If you’d like us to delete your information sooner, just ask.

Your choices

You can ask us what information we have about you, ask us to correct it, or ask us to delete it. Email hello@dalgarno.net or call 360.376.4026, and we’ll take care of it.

Some browsers send a “Do Not Track” signal. There’s no common standard for responding to it, so our site works the same either way; you can still opt out of Google Analytics as described under Cookies.

Security

The site is served over an encrypted connection, and form messages are stored in a password-protected area of our site. No website is perfectly secure, but we take reasonable care to protect what you share with us.

Children

This site is meant for adults planning a home. We don’t knowingly collect information from children under 13.

Changes to this policy

If we change how we handle information, we’ll update this page and the date at the top.
