Who we are
BDS Marine Construction builds docks, seawalls, and boat lifts on Marco Island, Florida. This policy explains what information we receive through bdsmarinecontractors.com, through Facebook and Instagram, and by phone or text, and what we do with it. If you have a question about it, call us at (239) 506-3799.
What we collect
Information you give us. When you email or call us, submit a lead form, or otherwise reach out, we receive what you provide, such as your name, email address, phone number, property address, and details about your project.
Information collected automatically. When you visit this website, we and the services we use may collect technical information such as your IP address, browser and device type, the pages you view, how you arrived at the site, and actions you take on it. This is collected through server logs, cookies, pixels, and similar technologies.
Information from Facebook and Instagram
When you message us, comment on one of our posts, or submit one of our lead forms (Instant Forms) on Facebook or Instagram, we receive what you send us. That is typically your name, phone number, email address, and details about your project, along with your public profile name.
We use this information to reply to you, prepare an estimate, and follow up on your project. We handle it the same way as an inquiry from this website, and we never sell it.
Meta, the company that runs Facebook and Instagram, collects its own information when you use its apps. That is governed by Meta's privacy policy, not this one.
Phone calls and text messages
If you call or text us, we keep your phone number and what you tell us so we can respond and follow up on your project. We will not send you marketing text messages unless you have agreed to receive them.
How we use your information
We use the information we collect to:
- answer your questions and prepare estimates
- visit and assess your property when you ask us to
- carry out, schedule, and keep records of work you hire us for
- keep in touch about your project
- run, protect, and improve this website
- measure and improve our advertising
- meet our legal and accounting obligations
We do not sell your personal information.
Where your information is kept
We are a Florida business, and information you send us is generally processed and stored in the United States.
How long we keep it
We keep your information only as long as we need it to respond to you and perform any work you hire us for, and to keep the business records we are required to keep, such as contracts and invoices.
Security
We take reasonable steps to protect the information you send us. No method of sending or storing information over the internet is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Your choices
You can ask to see the information we hold about you, ask us to correct it, or ask us to delete it. Call (239) 506-3799 or use the contact page. You can opt out of marketing messages at any time, and you can limit cookies and ad personalization as described under Cookies and advertising.
Data deletion requests
To have us delete information you gave us through this website, Facebook, Instagram, a phone call, or a text message:
- Call us at (239) 506-3799, or reach us through our contact page.
- Tell us your name and the phone number or email address you used to contact us.
- Say that you would like your information deleted.
We will delete your information within 30 days and confirm with you once it is done. The only exception is records the law requires us to keep, such as signed contracts and invoices.
Children
This site is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect information from them.
Links to other sites
This site may link to other websites, such as Facebook or Instagram. Their privacy practices are their own, and we encourage you to read their policies.
Changes to this policy
If we change how we handle information, we will update this page and the effective date at the top.
