01Scope of This Policy
This privacy policy covers the website located at www.guzmanbuilder.mom as well as the messages, emails, phone conversations, text questions, bid documents and on site discussions that flow from that website into the build office of GUZMAN THE BUILDER, LLC. Where a separate widget, tool or mobile application is operated by another company, that tool carries its own terms and this policy governs only the pages and the contact channels we control. The policy does not cover the practices of any building product supplier, lender, insurance company, municipal permit office or landscaping firm you may reach through a link we provide for convenience. If you open a third party service from this site, pause and read the privacy notice of that provider, because their handling of your data falls outside our control.
02Who We Are
GUZMAN THE BUILDER, LLC is a building company registered in the United States. When this policy uses the words we, our, us or the Company, it means GUZMAN THE BUILDER, LLC with its business address at 1115 N 1300 W, Salt Lake City - 84116-3638, United States (US). The website and the privacy controls described in this page are operated and maintained by the developer GuzmanBuilder on behalf of the Company. The Company is a general contractor and construction services provider for residential additions, home remodels, concrete flatwork and foundations, framing and structural carpentry, roofing and exterior work, plus permit and inspections management along the Wasatch Front of Utah.
Our build office can be reached by email at update@guzmanbuilder.mom and by phone at +16674851729. If you write to us, direct your mail to the address listed above. The Company believes that privacy is a craft, much like a well framed wall: it is built from many small, deliberate decisions taken together. This policy describes those decisions in plain terms so you always know where you stand.
03Information We Collect
We collect only the information that a real conversation about a building project requires, plus the small amount of technical data any website naturally gathers. We never ask for more than we need and we never gather data from unrelated sources so we can sell you something. In practice the categories are fourfold.
Information you give us directly
When you fill in the message form on our contact page, you provide your name, a contact email address and the subject and body of your message, which may include an address, a desired season or details about your lot. If you call our office, email us directly or hand us a note at a site meeting, we record the name, phone number, address and project information you choose to share. This information is essential so a foreman can schedule a visit and return a written bid.
Information gathered automatically
Like nearly every website, we receive standard technical data when your browser loads a page, including the internet protocol address of your device, the type and version of your browser, your operating system, the referring page that brought you to us and the rough pages you visit. This information is anonymous in our day to day use and serves to keep the site fast, secure and working correctly on the device you hold.
Information about your project
As a conversation advances toward a real build, we collect details that have nothing to do with advertising: the size and shape of your home, existing conditions, the scope of the addition or remodel, your budget range, your preferred start season and the drawings or photographs you send. This is the heart of a construction relationship and we treat it as confidential project information, never as material for marketing lists.
Communication records
We keep a careful record of offers, bid letters, signed agreements, change orders and inspection notes that both sides rely on for a clean, honest build. These records are kept long after the concrete cures, because warranties and municipal permitting often look back years.
04How We Use Information
We use the information you share for a small set of genuine purposes that all serve the build relationship. First, we use your contact details and conversation records to respond to your request and to transform a general question into a measured, priced project. Second, we use project information to prepare bids, engineer the work, order materials, pull permits and schedule the crews that will stand your walls. Third, we use contact details to follow up after a bid, to confirm an inspection window, to coordinate a delivery date or to keep you posted when the season changes your slot.
Fourth, we use communication records and signed documents to manage warranties, to defend the Company in any dispute and to satisfy our legal, accounting and insurance obligations. Fifth, we may use an aggregated and anonymous view of website traffic to decide which pages are helpful, to improve navigation and to keep the site secure. Finally, with your clear and separate consent, we may send you a seasonal note about openings or unfinished permits, but only when you have asked us to stay in touch. We do not sell your personal information, we do not rent it, and we do not use it to score or price unrelated loans or insurance.
05Legal Bases for Processing
Depending on where you live and which privacy law applies, the Company relies on recognized legal bases for the processing described here. For most everyday requests we process data because it is necessary to take steps you asked for before entering into a contract, specifically preparing a bid for construction work. Once a bid is signed, we process project and contact data to perform that contract, including scheduling, purchasing, permitting and warranty follow up.
For the technical data of site visitors who never reach out, we rely on our legitimate interest in operating a secure, well maintained website and in understanding which of our service pages genuinely help homeowners. We keep that interest balanced against your right to browse without being pursued; we do little profiling and we do not let third parties build a marketable profile of you from our traffic. Where we ever seek consent for a newsletter or a specific marketing use, that consent stays a clear choice you can withdraw at any time with a single email to update@guzmanbuilder.mom. Where a legal duty, such as tax record keeping or a building code retention period, requires us to process data, we follow the law.
08Analytics and Advertising
To understand how visitors reach our build yard we may use a simple analytics tool that counts visits, notes the rough region of an internet protocol address and records which pages are most read. This data arrives in an aggregated form without identifying individuals and is used to make the content more helpful, such as expanding the service pages that homeowners actually read before they call. We evaluate privacy respecting configurations where the tool retains no address level detail longer than needed for our own reporting.
We do not run targeted advertising that mounts a personal profile of you. Where the site ever lists a third party bidding or review platform, opening that link starts a fresh conversation governed by that provider. No ad network is served its cookies on our pages to build a cross site picture of you. If we later choose to advertise, we will rely on your consent where the law requires it and we will describe the practice plainly in this section before switching it on.
09How Long We Keep Information
We keep personal information only as long as a reason remains, and we delete or make it anonymous when that reason ends. A simple website question that goes nowhere is kept, if you ask us to delete it, we remove it on request, subject to any technical backup. And we usually keep a casual message for a short time so we can answer a follow up in context.
When a conversation grows into a signed building agreement, we keep the project record including plans, invoices, change orders and inspection logs for the full warranty period plus a comfortable window beyond it, because a structural warranty can run for years and a permit office may want documentation long after a job closes. Financial and tax records are retained for the period the law requires, generally several years from the relevant tax year. Aggregated website statistics that no longer identify a person may be retained indefinitely, because they carry no privacy weight on their own. Once a purpose expires, deletion is performed on an annual schedule by our office rather than piecemeal after every file.
10How We Protect Information
We treat project records as we treat a half built wall in a snowstorm, they earn their protection from the structure around them. Our encrypted connection keeps data private as it moves between your device and our office. Access to bid documents and project files is limited to the foreman, the office staff and those subcontractors who must see the scope to build, each authorized through a named account rather than a shared key.
Our servers sit in data centers with physical and electronic safeguards, and our email and file storage are held by providers who meet recognized security standards. We back up project records so a flooded office or a failed hard drive cannot erase your warranty trail. People remain the largest risk on any job site, so we train the office that a client address is never to be posted publicly and that banking or identification numbers have no role in a bid email, which is why our form never asks for them. Despite these measures, no method of transmission is perfectly secure, and we cannot promise an absolute guarantee against every possible intrusion; what we promise is that we use reasonable, industry standard protections and that we respond swiftly if a gap appears.
11Your Privacy Choices
You remain the owner of your information, and the Company gives you simple ways to steer it. Contact requests for a bid need your name, email and city to be useful, but you may choose to share only what lets us answer accurately; we never require more fields than the contact form displays. At any time you may ask us to correct a phone number, fix a misspelled name or update an address by writing to update@guzmanbuilder.mom.
You may withdraw any consent you gave for a newsletter or a seasonal note at any point, and we will stop those messages promptly. You may also object to certain legitimate interest processing where your circumstances give you a strong reason, and we will weigh your position fairly. If you believe a record is wrong or incomplete, tell us and we will amend it. Every one of these requests is handled by a named office person who replies in plain language, usually within a few business days, and who never charges you merely to exercise a right.
12State Privacy Rights
Residents of states with comprehensive privacy laws, including Colorado, California, Connecticut, Utah and Virginia, hold specific rights worth stating clearly. Utah, where the Company is based, grants consumers the right to know what personal data a business holds, to delete personal data, to correct inaccurate data and to opt out of the processing of data for targeted advertising and of the sale of data.
California residents hold related rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act, including the right to know the categories and purposes of collection, the right to request deletion, the right to correct and the right to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information. Because GUZMAN THE BUILDER, LLC does not sell or share personal information and does not engage in profiling that produces legal or similarly significant effects, there is little sensitive activity for residents to override. Where state law requires us to honor a request to opt out or to stop targeted advertising, we honor it on receipt of a verifiable request. We will not discriminate against you, hold up your bid or charge you more because you chose to exercise a privacy right; an honest framing bid does not depend on who is reading the tape.
13Privacy for Children
This website is a commercial construction service for adults who own or manage buildings. It is not directed at children, and it does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under the age of thirteen. We do not run games, contests or chat features aimed at minors, and we have no reason to ask for a child age even where a project touches a family home.
If you believe a child under thirteen has submitted personal information through our contact form without a parent consenting, contact our office immediately at update@guzmanbuilder.mom or by phone at +16674851729, and we will delete the record from our systems as soon as we can verify it and do so. Because building a safe space for young people matters to us the same way a strong railing matters to a second floor, we keep children out of our marketing entirely and we will never knowingly build a consumer profile around someone who is a minor.
14Third Party Links and Tools
Our pages sometimes point to sites operated by others: a truss manufacturer warranty page, a concrete mix spec, a county permit portal or a state contractor licensing lookup. These links are there for your convenience and lead away from our site the moment you click them. We do not control those pages, we do not adopt their privacy practices, and this policy stops applying once you leave the guzmanbuilder.mom domain.
If a tool on the site is powered by an outside service, such as a map showing our Salt Lake City office location or a hosted video explaining our framing method, the provider of that tool runs under its own privacy terms, and where the tool sets a cookie we will respect your browser settings. We review the services we build with to keep the list short and trustworthy, and we ask each provider to limit data use to the specific feature rather than a free hand over the content. Read the notice on any provider you choose to use, and if you would rather not hand data to a map or video host at all, you can always call +16674851729 and take the old fashioned route over the phone.
15Security Breach Response
We believe the best security is the kind that keeps trouble from starting, but no builder should pretend a leak can never happen. If the Company ever discovers a breach of security that affects the confidentiality of your personal information, our office will act without delay to contain the incident, to assess what data was exposed and to secure the affected systems. Once the facts are known, we will notify every person whose information is reasonably at risk in a clear, direct manner, describing what happened, what data was involved and what steps we took.
Where a state law requires a regulator to be told within a set window, we will file promptly and in the required format. Notifications go out by the contact method we hold, usually email, with guidance on what you can do to protect yourself, such as watching a bank account or reversing an improper charge. We will not bury a real incident in fine legal print years after the fact. A genuine, material notification keeps you in control of your side of the yard, and we owe you nothing less.
16International Use
The Company carries out its construction business in the United States and this website is intended for clients building in the United States, primarily along the Wasatch Front of Utah. If you access the site from another country, you do so on your own initiative, and your information may be processed in the United States, where data protection rules differ from those elsewhere.
When we transfer information across borders, whether from a client travelling abroad or a service provider hosting records, we apply appropriate safeguards so your data keeps a standard of protection reasonably consistent with this policy and with applicable law. We do not transfer personal information to jurisdictions that offer no meaningful protection merely to lower a cost. If you are based in a region with its own transfer rules, you can request details of the safeguards we apply by writing to update@guzmanbuilder.mom, and our office will explain the measures honestly without padding the answer.
17Retention and Erasure
Retention was described in an earlier section, but the practical rhythm is worth repeating because it is where many companies quietly fail. On a scheduled and ordinary cadence, our office reviews the records we hold and asks a simple question of each one: does a building, warranty, tax or legal reason still require this? Bids that a client declines are kept only long enough to honor the pricing conversation and are then removed or made anonymous.
When you request deletion of information that has no outstanding legal or warranty purpose, we remove it from our active working files and from the tools that current staff actually read. Backups on a separate schedule may briefly hold a copy until the natural rotation clears them. Where we cannot delete something because a law or a signed warranty agreement demands we keep it, we will tell you that plainly and name the reason rather than silently refusing. Erasure is the closing detail of a clean privacy frame, and we take pride in completing it.
18Changes to This Policy
Privacy law and the way people meet a builder both change over the building seasons, so we may revise this policy from time to time. When we do, we will post the new version on this page and change the effective date at the top, and we will keep older wording available long enough for you to compare if you care to. Material changes that affect your rights or the way we share data will be called out clearly rather than slipped into a wall of fine print.
Your continued use of the website after a revised policy appears counts as acceptance of the new terms for those visitors who were told, while clients and individuals who gave us consent for a specific use will be asked again before any new sharing begins. Because building trust is built one honest conversation at a time, we encourage you to glance at this page when you return each season, and to ask us directly if a sentence ever reads unclear. A privacy question deserves the same straight answer as a bid question.
