5. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

Our website uses cookies—small text files that help improve your browsing experience and help us understand site usage.

  • Analytics cookies: Google Analytics tracks which pages are visited, how long users stay, and what brings visitors to our site

6. Do Not Track (DNT) Signals

Do Not Track is a browser setting that signals websites not to track your online activity.

Our current policy: Mayerconstructioninc.com does not respond to Do Not Track signals. This means our website will still use cookies and analytics tools even if you have DNT enabled.

Why We Don’t Honor DNT

There’s currently no universal standard for how websites should interpret and respond to DNT signals. Different browsers implement DNT differently, and there’s no industry consensus on required actions. We may update our approach as clearer guidelines emerge.

Alternative Tracking Controls

To limit tracking on our site:

  • Google Analytics opt-out: Install the browser add-on from tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout
  • Block third-party cookies: Adjust your browser settings to prevent cross-site tracking
  • Use private browsing: Incognito or private modes don’t save cookies after your session
  • Opt out of interest-based ads: Use the opt-out pages listed in our Cookies section

Enabling DNT

To enable DNT in your browser (for other websites that honor it):

  • Chrome: Settings > Privacy and Security > Send a “Do Not Track” request
  • Firefox: Settings > Privacy & Security > Send websites a “Do Not Track” signal
  • Safari: Preferences > Privacy > Ask websites not to track me

Edge: Settings > Privacy, search, and services > Send “Do Not Track” requests

7. Data Security

We implement multiple security measures to protect your information:

Our Security Measures

  • Physical security: Locked offices, secure filing cabinets, document shredding, controlled access to customer files
  • Digital protection: SSL/TLS encryption (https) for website transmissions, password-protected systems, access controls limiting employee access, secure servers with firewalls
  • Payment security: PCI-DSS compliant payment processors, encrypted payment transmission, no storage of complete credit card numbers
  • Employee training: Privacy and data protection training, confidentiality agreements, immediate access revocation when employees leave

Important Limitations

No system is 100% secure. While we work diligently to protect your information, we cannot guarantee absolute security against all possible threats. Information sent via email or unsecured methods may be intercepted. For sensitive information, call us directly at (360) 803-1146.

Breach Response

If a data breach occurs affecting your information, we will investigate promptly, secure our systems, notify affected customers as required by law, and report to appropriate authorities.

8. Data Retention

We retain information for as long as necessary to fulfill business purposes and comply with legal obligations:

  • Active customer information: Duration of business relationship plus 3-7 years for potential follow-up or warranty issues
  • Financial records: At least 7 years for tax and accounting compliance
  • Contracts and agreements: Contract term plus applicable statute of limitations (typically 6-10 years)
  • Permit documents: Permanently or for the life of the structure, as these may be needed for future permits
  • Safety and compliance records: 5-30 years depending on OSHA and regulatory requirements
  • Marketing lists: Until you unsubscribe (we keep suppression records to prevent re-adding you)
  • Website analytics: Google Analytics retains data for 14 months, then automatically deletes it
  • Server logs: 30-90 days for troubleshooting, then deleted

When information is no longer needed and legal retention periods expire, we securely dispose of it through shredding (paper) or permanent deletion (electronic files).
