Privacy Policy

1. Who We Are

UH Construction is a licensed general contractor based in Berkeley, California, serving the East Bay area. We operate this website to provide information about our services and to allow prospective customers to request estimates.

References to "we," "us," or "our" in this policy refer to UH Construction.

2. Information We Collect

We only collect information you voluntarily provide to us, or that is automatically gathered through standard website technology.

Information you provide:

• Your name, email address, and phone number when you submit an estimate request or contact form
• Your property address or neighborhood when relevant to scoping a project
• Any project details or notes you include in your message

Information collected automatically:

• Basic analytics data such as pages visited, time on site, and browser type (via Squarespace Analytics)
• Your general geographic location based on IP address
• Cookie data used to improve site performance (see Section 6)

3. How We Use Your Information

We use the information you provide solely to:

• Respond to your estimate request or inquiry
• Schedule and conduct in-person project consultations
• Communicate with you about your project before, during, and after the job
• Improve our website and service based on general usage patterns

We do not use your information for automated marketing, profiling, or any purpose unrelated to your direct inquiry with us.

4. How We Share Your Information

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information. We may share it only in the following limited circumstances:

• Service providers: Third-party tools we use to operate our website (such as Squarespace) may process data on our behalf, subject to their own privacy policies
• Legal requirements: If required by law, court order, or to protect the rights and safety of our business or others
• Business transfer: In the unlikely event of a sale or transfer of our business, your information may be included as part of that transaction

5. Data Retention

We retain your contact information only as long as necessary to fulfill the purpose for which it was collected — typically the duration of your project relationship with us, plus any period required for legal or accounting purposes.

If you'd like your information removed from our records, just ask. We'll take care of it promptly.

6. Cookies

Our website uses cookies — small text files stored on your device — to support basic functionality and analytics. Squarespace, our website platform, may set cookies related to site performance and visitor analytics.

You can control cookie settings through your browser preferences. Disabling cookies may affect some site functionality but will not prevent you from submitting a contact form or viewing our content.

7. Your Rights

As a California resident, you have rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), including the right to:

• Know what personal information we've collected about you
• Request deletion of your personal information
• Opt out of the sale of your personal information (we don't sell it, but the right exists)
• Non-discrimination for exercising any of the above rights

To exercise any of these rights, contact us directly at the address below. We'll respond within 45 days.

8. Third-Party Links

Our website may contain links to third-party sites (such as Google Maps or review platforms). We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those sites and encourage you to review their policies independently.

9. Children's Privacy

Our website is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 13. If you believe a child has submitted information through our site, please contact us and we'll remove it immediately.

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy from time to time. When we do, we'll revise the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this page periodically. Continued use of our website after any changes constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy.
