Information Collection, Use, and Sharing
We are the sole owners of the information collected on this site. We only have access to/collect information that you voluntarily give us via email or other direct contact from you. When you provide us with personally identifiable information (i.e., email address, physical address, or your contact information), we will secure and use that information as described in this notice. We will not sell or rent this information to anyone for marketing purposes. In the event we were to merge or be acquired by another entity, we may share your information with that entity; however, we will exercise reasonable efforts to cause that entity to comply with this notice or notify you in the event this privacy notice changes.
We will use your information to respond to you, regarding the reason you contacted us.

We will not share your information with any third party outside of our organization.
Unless you ask us not to, we may contact you via email in the future to tell you about specials, new legislation, installation regulations or services, or changes to this privacy policy.
We comply with the CAN-SPAM Act, a law that sets the rules for commercial email, establishes requirements for commercial messages, gives recipients the right to have emails stopped from being sent to them, and spells out tough penalties for violations.
To be in accordance with CAN-SPAM, we agree to the following:

- Monitor third-party email marketing services for compliance, if one is used

If at any time you would like to unsubscribe from receiving future emails, follow the instructions at the bottom of each email, and we will promptly remove you from all correspondence.

Security
We take precautions to protect your information. When you submit sensitive information via the website, your information is protected both online and offline.
Wherever we collect sensitive information (such as email), that information is encrypted and transmitted to us in a secure way. You can verify this by looking for a closed lock icon next to our website address or looking for https at the beginning of the address of the web page.
While we use encryption to protect sensitive information transmitted online, we also protect your information offline. Only employees who need the information to perform a specific job (for example, customer service) are granted access to personally identifiable information. The computers/servers in which we store personally identifiable information are kept in a secure environment.
Please be aware that third parties outside of our control may unlawfully intercept or access transmissions. So, while we work very hard to protect your privacy, we cannot promise that your private communications or personal information will always remain private.
