Automatically when you access the website (for example, through technical logs and security-related request data).
From cookies and similar technologies, based on your cookie preferences.

Whether providing personal information is mandatory or optional:

Providing contact and inquiry information is optional, but if you choose not to provide it, we may not be able to respond to your request for a quote or business inquiry through the website.

How We Use Your Data

We use personal information for the following purposes:

Responding to project inquiries and quote requests, and communicating with you about our welded steel storage tank construction, fabrication, repair, and related services (legal basis: contract).

Operating, maintaining, and securing our website, including detecting and helping prevent malicious activity and abuse (legal basis: legitimate-interest).

Recording and honoring your cookie preferences through our consent management system (legal basis: consent).

Who We Share Your Data With

We share personal information with the following service provider to operate and protect our website:

Cloudflare: We use Cloudflare to help deliver website content and protect the website from security threats. This may involve processing device and technical information (such as IP address and request data) to provide content delivery and security functions. Cloudflare processes personal information according to its own privacy policy.

We use our own consent management system (Trustwards) to record and manage your cookie preferences. This data is processed internally and not shared with third parties.

International Data Transfers

Some of our service providers are located outside the primary processing jurisdiction, specifically in the United States.

Cloudflare: Cloudflare, Inc. is certified under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework (DPF).

Our consent management system (Trustwards) is based in Spain (EU), so consent data is not transferred internationally.

How Long We Keep Your Data

Contact form submissions and business inquiry records are retained only as long as necessary to respond to project inquiries and provide construction and fabrication services, consistent with applicable recordkeeping requirements for our industry.

Cookie consent records: 10 years (to demonstrate compliance and address potential claims within legal limitation periods).

Security logs and technical records: 12 months.

We do not use automated decision-making or profiling that produces legal effects or similarly significantly affects you.

Children's Privacy

Our services are not directed at children under 16 years of age. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If you believe we have collected data from a child, please contact us immediately.

Our notice will describe, as appropriate, the nature of the breach, the likely consequences, and the measures taken or proposed to address it.
