Harpeth Civil
Privacy Policy
This policy explains what information Harpeth Civil, Inc. ("Harpeth Civil," "I," "me") collects through harpethcivil.com, its contact forms, and its lead forms on Facebook and Instagram, and how that information is used. Harpeth Civil is a one-person civil engineering firm, so the information you send goes to me, Daniel Smola, PE.
The ParcelPull service has its own ParcelPull privacy policy.
1. Information you give me
When you request a quote, fill out a Facebook or Instagram lead form, email me or call me, I may receive:
- your name, email address, phone number and company name;
- whether you're an architect, contractor, builder, homeowner or other;
- the site address or city of your project and the type of plans you need;
- any surveys, plans or other project files you choose to send.
2. Information collected automatically
Like most websites, harpethcivil.com uses cookies and similar tools:
- Meta Pixel. This tool from Meta (Facebook and Instagram) records visits to this site so I can measure my ads and show ads to people who have visited. It uses automatic advanced matching: if you enter your email or phone number in a form on this site, the pixel scrambles (hashes) it in your browser before sending it to Meta, which uses it only to match the visit to a Meta account.
- Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics. These record general information about visits, such as pages viewed, device and browser type, and approximate location, so I can see how the site is used.
3. How I use the information
- to reply to your request, set up a consult and prepare a proposal;
- to carry out and invoice the work if you hire me;
- to measure and improve my website and advertising.
4. Who I share it with
I don't sell your information. It is shared only with services that help me run the business, such as my website host (Netlify), email provider (Microsoft 365), accounting software, Meta and Google, and only as needed to provide those services. I may also disclose information if the law requires it.
5. How long I keep it
I keep inquiry and project information for as long as needed to respond, complete the work, and meet professional and legal record-keeping requirements for engineering projects.
6. Your choices
- You can ask me to see, correct or delete the information I have about you by emailing info@harpethcivil.com.
- You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings.
- You can control the ads you see on Facebook and Instagram in your Meta ad preferences, and opt out of Google Analytics with Google's browser add-on.
7. Security
Information is sent over encrypted connections and stored on accounts and devices that only Harpeth Civil can access. No method of storage or transmission is perfectly secure, but I take reasonable steps to protect it.
8. Children
This site and its services are for adults and businesses. I don't knowingly collect information from children under 13.
9. Changes
If this policy changes, the updated version will be posted here with a new effective date.
