We collect very limited information from our website visitors. The types of information we may collect on the Site include:
Personal Data (Voluntarily Provided)
We collect personally identifiable information, such as your name, email address, and telephone number, only when you voluntarily provide it to us through our contact forms or when you communicate with us directly via email or phone. We do not require you to provide this information to browse our website.
Please note: Email addresses submitted via our contact form are sent directly to our business mailbox and are not stored in any database on our website or by any third-party service (other than your own email provider and our email provider). We do not collect or store your address or payment information through this website.
Cookies and Usage Data
Our website uses essential cookies necessary for the core functionality and security of the site. For more details on the specific cookies we use, please refer to our dedicated Cookie Policy.
We also use Google reCAPTCHA on our contact form to protect against spam and abuse. reCAPTCHA collects certain information about your device and browser to determine if you are a human and not a bot. This data is handled in accordance with Google's Privacy Policy.
Additionally, we use Google Analytics to understand how visitors interact with our website, such as which pages are most popular and how long users spend on the site. This helps us improve our website's content and user experience. Google Analytics collects information anonymously and does not identify individual visitors. It may use cookies to collect this data. For more information on Google Analytics and its data practices, please refer to Google's Privacy Policy and How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services.
As part of standard web server operations, we may automatically collect basic usage data such as your IP address, browser type, operating system, access times, and pages visited. This data is used for website security, troubleshooting, and general administrative purposes, and is not linked to your identity.
We use the limited information we collect for the following purposes:
- To respond to your inquiries and offer customer support related to your voluntarily submitted contact form or direct communication.
- To communicate with you regarding your service requests and provide electrical services.
- To maintain the security and operational integrity of our website, including protection against spam and malicious activity via reCAPTCHA.
- For internal administrative purposes, such as debugging or improving website functionality (based on anonymized usage data).
- To analyze website usage and improve our services through Google Analytics.
We will only use your email address or phone number to respond to your specific inquiry or service request. We do not use them for marketing purposes or subscribe you to any newsletters.
We do not sell, trade, rent, or otherwise transfer your Personally Identifiable Information to outside parties for marketing or any other purpose.
Your email address and phone number are handled strictly for direct communication related to your inquiry or services. They are not stored in any database or shared with any third parties, other than for the necessary function of delivering emails to our business mailbox (handled by our email service provider) or for legitimate service delivery where prior consent is obtained or it is explicitly required (e.g., sharing a phone number for an electrician to call you back).
We use Google reCAPTCHA for spam prevention, which involves sharing certain browser and device data with Google. Please refer to Google's Privacy Policy for more information on how they handle this data.
We use Google Analytics to collect anonymized website usage data. This data is shared with Google in accordance with their privacy policies.
We may disclose your information if required to do so by law or in response to valid requests by public authorities (e.g., a court order or government agency).
We retain personal information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law.
- Email Communications: Email addresses and the content of your communications are retained within our business mailbox for as long as necessary to manage ongoing client relationships, service history, and comply with any legal or accounting obligations. These are not stored in a separate database.
- Website Usage Data: Basic anonymized usage data (like IP addresses for security logs and Google Analytics data) are typically retained for a limited period for security and troubleshooting, after which they are deleted or anonymized.
When we have no ongoing legitimate business need to process your personal information, we will either delete or anonymize it.
