Information Collected Automatically
When you visit our website, we and our service providers may automatically collect certain technical information, including:

- Browser type, version, and operating system
- Pages visited, time spent, and navigation path through the site
- Referring website or search query that directed you to our site

This technical data is processed in aggregate and anonymized form to improve website performance and user experience. It is not used to personally identify visitors unless they have separately submitted contact information through a form.
3. How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect for the following specific purposes:
- Service delivery: Responding to estimate and inspection requests, scheduling site visits, and performing the roofing services you have engaged us to provide
- Communication: Sending appointment confirmations, project updates, and seasonal care documentation related to active service engagements
- Insurance coordination: When requested, preparing and transmitting damage documentation to your insurance company or adjuster in connection with a covered claim
- Marketing communications: Only with your explicit written consent (via checkbox on our forms), we may send roofing tips, seasonal maintenance reminders, and promotional offers. You may unsubscribe at any time from any marketing email or by contacting info@roofingfox.site
- Business operations: Internal record-keeping, quality assurance audits, crew performance tracking, and continuous service improvement
- Legal compliance: To comply with applicable Colorado and federal laws, court orders, or legitimate governmental requests
- Fraud prevention: Detecting and investigating fraudulent submissions or unauthorized system access
We do not use your personal information for fully automated individual decision-making that produces legal or similarly significant effects on you without human review.
4. Data Sharing
We do not sell, rent, trade, or otherwise transfer your personal information to third parties for their own marketing or commercial purposes.
We may share your information only in the following limited and specific circumstances:
- Service providers: We use trusted third-party tools including email delivery platforms, appointment scheduling software, and website analytics services. These vendors process your data solely on our behalf under written data processing agreements that prohibit them from using your data for any independent purpose.
- Insurance companies and adjusters: Only when you have specifically requested insurance claim assistance, and only with documentation directly relevant to your claim. We will confirm this scope with you before transmission.
- Legal requirements: We may disclose information when required by law, court order, subpoena, or when we have a reasonable, good-faith belief that disclosure is necessary to protect our rights, your safety, or the safety of others.
- Business transfers: In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of substantially all of our business assets, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction. We will provide notice before any such transfer and before your information becomes subject to a different privacy policy.
5. Cookies and Tracking Technologies
Our website uses cookies — small text files stored on your device — and similar tracking technologies. We use the following types of cookies:
- Essential cookies: Required for basic website functionality such as session management, form security tokens, and navigation. These cannot be disabled without materially impairing website operation.
- Analytics cookies: Used to understand how visitors navigate our website — which pages are visited, how long sessions last, and where traffic originates. We process this data in aggregate, anonymized form only.
- Preference cookies: Store your choices (such as your cookie consent decision) to improve your experience on return visits.
We do not use advertising cookies or allow third-party advertising networks to place tracking cookies on our website. You may manage cookie preferences through our consent banner when you first visit the site, or through your browser settings at any time. Declining non-essential cookies will not prevent you from using our website or submitting inquiry forms.
6. Data Retention
We retain personal information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, plus any additional period required by applicable law or legitimate business need:
- Active client project records: Retained throughout the service relationship and for 7 years thereafter to comply with Colorado contractor licensing and tax record requirements
- Warranty documentation: Retained for the duration of any applicable warranty period plus 2 years to support warranty claims
- Inquiry records without resulting engagement: Retained for 24 months from initial submission, then securely deleted
- Marketing consent records: Retained until you withdraw consent, then removed from active lists within 30 days
- Website analytics: Retained in aggregate, anonymized form for 26 months
At the end of applicable retention periods, we securely delete or irreversibly anonymize personal information so it can no longer be associated with any identified individual.
7. Your Rights
Depending on your state of residence, you may have the following rights with respect to your personal information:
- Right to access: Request a copy of the personal data we hold about you in a readable format
- Right to correction: Request that inaccurate, incomplete, or outdated information be corrected
- Right to deletion: Request deletion of your personal information, subject to legal retention obligations and active project requirements

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at info@roofingfox.site or at our physical address below. We respond to all verified requests within 30 calendar days. We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of your privacy rights.
8. Data Security
We implement industry-standard technical and organizational security measures to protect your personal information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. These measures include:
- Encrypted data transmission across all website pages (HTTPS/TLS)
- Access controls limiting data access to authorized personnel with a documented need
- Regular security review of our data storage and transmission practices
- Vendor security assessments for third-party service providers that handle personal data on our behalf
No method of internet transmission or electronic storage is completely secure. While we implement commercially reasonable security practices, we cannot guarantee absolute security of data transmitted to or through our website. In the event of a data breach that materially affects your rights and freedoms, we will notify you in accordance with applicable Colorado and federal notification requirements.
9. Third-Party Links
Our website and Insights articles may contain links to third-party websites including manufacturer warranty portals, insurance company sites, and industry resource pages. This Privacy Policy applies only to our website and properties. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of any third-party site and encourage you to review their applicable privacy policies before providing any personal information. The presence of a third-party link on our site does not constitute an endorsement of that site's privacy practices.
10. Children's Privacy
Our website and roofing services are directed to adults aged 18 and over. We do not knowingly collect personal information from individuals under the age of 13. If we become aware that we have inadvertently collected information from a child under 13 without verifiable parental consent, we will take prompt steps to delete that information from our records. If you believe we may have collected information from a minor, please contact us immediately at info@roofingfox.site.
11. Policy Changes
We may update this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect changes in our data practices, legal requirements, or business operations. When we make material changes, we will update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this document. For significant changes that substantially affect how we use your data, we may also provide advance notice by email to clients who have provided their contact information. Your continued use of our website following any posted update constitutes your acceptance of the revised policy. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
