Privacy Policy

Information we collect

We collect the information you choose to provide and a limited amount of technical information collected automatically when you use this website.

• Information you submit through forms: name, company name, email address, phone number, project address and location, project type, service requested, schedule information, preferred contact method, and the description you write.
• Files you attach: drawings, photographs, reports, resumes, and similar documents you upload with an inquiry or application.
• Employment application information: the details and documents you send when applying for a position.
• Technical and usage information: IP address, browser and device type, pages viewed, and referring page, collected through server logs and any analytics tools that are enabled.

How we use information

• To evaluate your inquiry and respond regarding availability, scope, and next steps.
• To prepare proposals and, if engaged, to perform professional services under an executed agreement.
• To evaluate applications for employment.
• To operate, secure, and improve this website, including detecting and preventing spam and abuse.
• To meet legal, regulatory, professional, and recordkeeping obligations.

Legal basis and consent

Where consent is the basis for processing, the form you submit asks for it explicitly, and you may withdraw it at any time by contacting us. Withdrawing consent does not affect processing carried out before the withdrawal, and it may prevent us from responding to your inquiry.

[If the firm serves visitors subject to GDPR, UK GDPR, or similar regimes, have counsel confirm the lawful bases relied on, and add controller identity, data-transfer, and supervisory-authority details.]

How we share information

We do not sell your information. We share it only in the circumstances described below.

• Service providers that operate this website and our business — for example website hosting, email delivery, file storage, and analytics — acting on our instructions.
• Project participants when relevant to the work and appropriate under the engagement, such as an architect, contractor, or other consultant on the same project.
• Professional advisors, including counsel, insurers, and auditors.
• Authorities or other parties where required by law, regulation, legal process, or professional obligation, or to protect rights, safety, and property.
• A successor entity in connection with a merger, acquisition, or transfer of the business or its assets.

Data retention

We keep inquiry, project, and application information for as long as needed for the purposes described above, and afterwards as required by legal, regulatory, professional, and insurance recordkeeping obligations. Project records associated with engineering services are typically retained for extended periods under professional practice requirements.

[Insert the firm's verified retention periods for inquiries, engaged project records, and employment applications, confirmed with counsel and the firm's professional-liability carrier.]

Cookies and analytics

This website uses cookies and similar technologies only where enabled. Strictly necessary cookies support core site function. Analytics tools, if configured, help us understand how the site is used.

You can control cookies through your browser settings; blocking some cookies may affect how the site works. [If analytics or advertising cookies are enabled, or if a consent-banner requirement applies to visitors' jurisdictions, add the cookie inventory and consent mechanism here after review by counsel.]

Your rights and choices

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or receive a copy of your personal information, to object to or restrict certain processing, and to withdraw consent. To make a request, contact us using the details below. We may need to verify your identity, and some information must be retained where legal or professional obligations require it.

[Have counsel confirm which privacy regimes apply — for example state privacy laws, GDPR, or PIPEDA — and add the required rights descriptions, response timelines, appeal process, and any authorized-agent procedures.]

Data security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards appropriate to the sensitivity of the information we handle. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security. Please do not send sensitive personal information — such as government identification numbers or financial account details — through this website's forms.

Children's privacy

This website is intended for business use by adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided information through this site, contact us and we will delete it.

Third-party links

This website may link to third-party sites we don't control. Their privacy practices are their own; review their policies before providing information.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. The effective date below reflects the most recent version. Material changes will be reflected on this page.
