At The Hardscape Agency, we are committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy describes how we collect, use, and protect your information when you visit https://thehardscapeagency.com.
Who we are
Our website address is: https://thehardscapeagency.com. We provide digital marketing and lead generation services for hardscaping contractors.
Information We Collect and Why
Contact Forms
When you fill out a contact or lead generation form on our site, we collect personal information including your name, email address, phone number, and any project details you provide. We use this information strictly to respond to your inquiries and provide the services you requested.
Comments
When visitors leave comments on the site we collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection.
An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.
Cookies
If you leave a comment on our site you may opt-in to saving your name, email address and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so that you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies will last for one year.
If you visit our login page, we will set a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.
When you log in, we will also set up several cookies to save your login information and your screen display choices. Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies last for a year. If you select "Remember Me", your login will persist for two weeks. If you log out of your account, the login cookies will be removed.
Analytics and Tracking
We use third-party tools such as [e.g., Google Analytics or Meta Pixel] to monitor and analyze web traffic. These services use cookies to track user behavior and help us improve our website experience. This data is aggregated and does not personally identify you.
Embedded content from other websites
Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.
These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.
Who we share your data with
We do not sell your personal data to third parties. We may share your data in the following limited circumstances:
Service Providers: With trusted vendors who assist in operating our website and business (e.g., email service providers or CRM systems).
Security: If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.
Legal Compliance: If required by law or to protect our legal rights.
How long we retain your data
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
For users that register on our website, we store the personal information provided in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information. Lead generation data is kept for as long as necessary to provide our services.
What rights you have over your data
If you have an account on this site, or have left comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
Where your data is sent
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service. All data submitted through our website is processed and stored on secure servers.
How we protect your data
We implement a variety of security measures to maintain the safety of your personal information, including the use of SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) encryption for all data transmitted through our website.
