Information Collection and Use

While using our Site, we may ask you to provide us with certain personally identifiable information that can be used to contact or identify you. Personally identifiable information may include, but is not limited to, your name and email address. 

It is always up to you whether to disclose personally identifiable information to us, although if you elect not to do so, we reserve the right not to register you as a user or provide you with services through our website.

Like many site operators, we collect information that your browser sends whenever you visit our Site ("Log Data"). This Log Data may include information such as your device's browser type, browser version, the pages of our Site that you visit, the time and date of your visit, the time spent on those pages, and other statistics. 

In addition, we may use third party services such as Google Analytics that collect, monitor, and analyze this data. The third party services we use are configured to automatically remove personally identifiable information from this data.

Why We Collect Information and For How Long

We are collecting your data for several reasons:

  • Delivering services to you, such as responding to requests for a project quote;

  • To fulfill our legitimate interest in improving our website and services;

  • To send you promotional emails containing information we think will provide value to you when we have your consent to do so;

  • To provide notifications and analysis for services we provide, measure effectiveness, enhance our services, and to expand our business activities;

  • To customize our website according to your online behavior and personal preferences.

The data we collect from you will be stored for no longer than necessary and will be securely deleted after that time. 

The length of time we retain said information will be determined based upon the following criteria: 

  • The length of time your personal information remains relevant; 

  • The length of time it is reasonable to keep records to demonstrate that we have fulfilled our our duties and obligations; 

  • Any limitation periods within which claims might be made; 

  • Any retention periods prescribed by law or recommended by regulators, professional bodies, or associations; 

  • The type of contract we have with you, the existence of your consent, and our legitimate interest in keeping such information as stated in this Policy.

Use of Information Collected

We may collect and use personal information to assist in the operation of our website and to ensure delivery of the services you have requested. At times, we may find it necessary to use personally identifiable information as a means to keep you informed of other possible services that may be available to you from Cutting Edge Timberworks.

Cutting Edge Timberworks may also be in contact with you in regard to completing surveys and/or research questionnaires related to your opinion of current or potential future services that may be offered.

  • With third-party providers with whom Cutting Edge Timberworks has contracts for everyday business purposes;

Cookies

Cookies are files with a small amount of data, which may include an anonymous unique identifier. Cookies are sent to your browser from a web site and stored on your computer's hard drive.

Like many sites, we use "cookies" to collect information. You can instruct your browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent. However, if you do not accept cookies, you may not be able to use some portions of our Site.

Safeguarding Your Personal Information

We take appropriate measures to safeguard the personal information you provide to us through our Site. Wherever we collect sensitive information (e.g. your credit card number), that information is encrypted and transmitted to us in a secure way. You can verify this by looking for a lock icon in the address bar and looking for a “https” at the beginning of the address of the webpage.

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, to respond to project quote requests) are granted access to personally identifiable information. The computers and servers in which we store personally identifiable information are kept in a secure environment. This is all done to prevent any loss, misuse, unauthorized access, disclosure, or modification of the user’s personal information under our control.

However, no method of transmitting or storing data can be guaranteed to be completely secure. Although we endeavor to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee the security of any information transmitted to us through or in connection with our Site. If you suspect that your interaction with us is no longer secure, please notify us immediately by contacting us at (765) 617-8902.

In the unlikely event that we believe the security of your personal information may have been compromised while in our possession, we will make every effort to notify you as quickly as possible given the circumstances. If we have your email address, we may notify you by email.

Cutting Edge Timberworks will never request personal information from you via email. We will also never include links that direct you to a non-secure page where you are asked to provide such information. To verify the legitimacy of an email you have received from Cutting Edge Timberworks, you can contact us at (765) 617-8902.

Children under the age of 13

Cutting Edge Timberworks respects and complies with the guidelines established by the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act. As such, we do not market to, and do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from, children under the age of thirteen (13). If we determine that such information has been inadvertently collected on anyone under the age of thirteen (13), we shall immediately take the necessary steps to ensure that such information is deleted from our system’s database.
