Privacy Policy
Last updated August 27, 2026
This Privacy Policy explains how First Choice Carpentry, LLC collects, uses, discloses, and protects personal information when you visit the website at https://www.firstcarpentry.lat or engage our computer systems design and computer integrated systems design services. The services described on this website are developed and operated by the developer FirstCarpentry on behalf of First Choice Carpentry, LLC, a company located at 155 E Center St, Orangeville, UT 84537-7754, United States. We respect your privacy and we work hard to protect the information you trust us with. Please read this policy carefully so that you understand exactly how your information is handled before you share it with us.
1 Introduction
First Choice Carpentry, LLC is committed to protecting the privacy of every person who interacts with our company. We operate in the computer systems design and related services industry and in the computer integrated systems design industry, which means our day to day work involves designing, building, integrating, and operating technology for our clients. That work frequently touches data, and we take our responsibility for that data seriously.
This Privacy Policy is written in plain language so that you can understand what information we collect, why we collect it, and what choices you have. We want you to feel confident that your information is handled with the same care we apply to the systems we design. If any part of this policy is unclear, please contact us using the details at the end of this document and we will gladly explain.
We may update this policy from time to time. When we make significant changes, we will revise the effective date at the top of this page and, where appropriate, notify you by email or by a notice on our website. Your continued use of our website and services after any revision means that you accept the updated terms.
2 Scope of This Policy
This Privacy Policy applies to personal information we collect through our website, through email and telephone communications, through the contact form on our website, and through the performance of our professional services. It also applies to personal information we receive from our clients when they engage us to design, integrate, or operate computer systems on their behalf.
This policy does not apply to the websites, applications, or services of third parties that may be linked from our website. It also does not apply to any information that is collected by other organizations when they operate systems for our clients. Where we process information on behalf of a client as a service provider, that client remains responsible for the information and for providing you with appropriate notice about how the information is used.
This policy covers both individuals who visit our website as general visitors and individuals who are employees, contractors, or customers of the companies we serve. Regardless of how you come into contact with us, the same high standard of care applies to your personal information.
3 Information We Collect
We collect several categories of information depending on how you interact with us. The first category is information you provide directly. When you complete the contact form on our website, send us an email, call our office, or enter into a written agreement with us, you may provide your name, your email address, your telephone number, your company name, your job title, and the details of your inquiry or project.
The second category is information collected automatically. When you visit our website, our servers and analytics tools may collect technical information such as your IP address, the type of browser you use, the operating system of your device, the pages you visit, the date and time of your visit, the website that referred you to us, and aggregated information about how our pages are used.
The third category is information we collect in the course of providing services. When we design, integrate, or operate computer systems for a client, we may receive access to business records, configuration details, and account information that are necessary to complete the work. We treat all such information as confidential and we only use it for the purpose of delivering the agreed services, unless we are required by law to disclose it.
4 How We Collect Information
We collect information through three main channels. The first channel is direct interaction. When you fill in a form, send a message, join a phone call, or correspond with us by email, we keep a record of the information you choose to share with us. We use this information to respond to your inquiry and to provide the services you request.
The second channel is automated technology. Our website uses standard web technologies, including server logs, browser cookies, and similar tracking mechanisms, to understand how visitors use our site. These technologies help us keep the website secure, measure its performance, and improve the experience for everyone who visits.
The third channel is information from other sources. In some cases we may receive business contact information from public directories, professional networks, or referral partners, so that we can reach out about services that may be relevant to your business. Where we rely on such sources, we only use the information in a way that is consistent with applicable law and with this policy.
5 How We Use Information
We use the information we collect for purposes that are necessary to operate our business and to serve you well. Those purposes include responding to your inquiries, providing and supporting our services, preparing proposals and agreements, invoicing and collecting payment, and managing our relationship with you and your organization.
We also use information to operate and improve our website, to maintain security, to prevent fraud and abuse, to comply with legal obligations, to enforce our agreements, and to resolve disputes. We may use aggregated and anonymized information for analytics, research, and reporting purposes. This type of information does not identify any individual person.
Where we have a legitimate interest in marketing our services, we may send you occasional business communications by email or telephone. You can opt out of marketing communications at any time by following the instructions in the message or by contacting us directly. We will never sell your personal information to third parties, and we do not use your data to make automated decisions that produce legal effects on you.
6 Legal Bases for Processing
Depending on where you are located and which law applies to you, we process personal information on one or more of the following legal bases. The first basis is consent, which we rely on when you voluntarily provide information to us through forms or communications and when you ask us to take a specific action.
The second basis is contract. We process information that is necessary to perform a contract with you or to take steps at your request before entering into a contract, such as preparing a service agreement or a statement of work. The third basis is legitimate interests, which cover activities such as maintaining the security of our systems, managing our business operations, and engaging in reasonable business development. The fourth basis is legal obligation, which applies when we must retain or disclose information to comply with a law, regulation, or court order.
Where we rely on legitimate interests as our legal basis, we balance those interests against your rights and freedoms and we do not process more information than is necessary. You can request details about the specific legal basis we rely on for a particular processing activity by contacting us.
9 Service Providers
Like most professional firms, we rely on a small number of service providers to run our operations. These providers receive only the information they need to perform their function, and they are not permitted to use your information for any purpose other than the one we specify.
Our hosting providers store the content that powers our website. Our email and communication providers help us send and receive messages securely. Our accounting and billing tools process invoicing information so that we can manage our business. Our analytics providers help us understand how the website is used, and we configure their tools to minimize the collection of identifying information wherever possible.
Each of these providers is selected with care, and we review our arrangements regularly. If you would like to know which categories of service providers currently handle information on our behalf, you are welcome to contact us and we will provide a summary.
10 Analytics and Advertising
We use analytics tools to understand how visitors interact with our website. These tools collect information such as the pages you view, the time you spend on each page, the device and browser you use, and the general geographic region associated with your IP address. This information helps us identify technical issues, improve page content, and make the site easier to navigate.
We do not run interest based advertising for our services, and we do not use third party advertising networks to show you personalized ads on other websites. As a result, we do not use the kind of cross site tracking that is common in advertising campaigns, and we keep the tracking on our own site intentionally minimal.
If you prefer that analytics tools not collect information about your visits, you can install a browser extension that blocks tracking scripts, or you can use your browser in a private or incognito mode. These choices will not affect your ability to use the core functions of our website.
11 Data Retention
We keep personal information only for as long as it is needed for the purposes described in this policy, or for as long as the law requires. Inquiry records and correspondence are retained for the period necessary to respond to your request and to maintain a reasonable record of our business relationship.
For client engagements, we retain project records, agreements, and related documentation for the term of the agreement plus the period required by applicable law and our professional obligations. This retention is necessary to support our clients, to defend against legal claims, and to demonstrate that our work met the agreed standard.
When information is no longer needed, we delete it or transform it into an anonymous form so that it can no longer identify you. Our deletion processes cover email archives, project storage, backups, and any other location where personal information may reside. Retention periods are reviewed on a regular basis to make sure they remain appropriate.
12 Data Security
We treat the security of personal information as a core part of our business, which is fitting for a company that designs secure systems for a living. We implement a range of technical, organizational, and administrative safeguards designed to protect your information from unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction.
Those safeguards include encryption of data in transit and at rest, access controls that limit who can view sensitive information, secure storage for our systems, regular security reviews, and staff training on privacy and data handling. We also apply the security discipline we teach our clients to our own environment.
No method of transmission over the internet or method of electronic storage is completely secure. While we work hard to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security. If we become aware of a data breach that affects your information, we will notify you and the relevant authorities as required by applicable law.
13 International Data Transfers
First Choice Carpentry, LLC operates from the United States, and our offices are located at 155 E Center St, Orangeville, UT 84537-7754, United States. The information we collect through our website and services is primarily processed in the United States. If you visit our website from another country, your information may be transferred to and processed in the United States, where data protection laws may differ from those of your country.
When we transfer personal information across borders, we take steps designed to ensure that the information receives an adequate level of protection. This includes relying on recognized legal mechanisms, entering into standard contractual clauses where required, and applying the technical and organizational measures described in this policy.
If you have questions about how a particular transfer is protected, or if you would like to see the safeguards that apply, you can contact us and we will provide the relevant details in accordance with applicable law.
14 Your Rights and Choices
Depending on where you live, you may have certain rights regarding your personal information. These rights may include the right to access a copy of the information we hold about you, the right to correct inaccurate information, the right to request deletion of your information, the right to restrict or object to certain processing, and the right to data portability.
To exercise any of these rights, please contact us using the details at the end of this policy. We will respond to verified requests within the time frame required by applicable law. In most cases that is within thirty days, and we will let you know if we need additional time to complete your request.
We may need to verify your identity before we can act on a request, and we may ask you to provide information that allows us to confirm that you are the person to whom the data relates. We will not discriminate against you for exercising your privacy rights, and we will not charge a fee for reasonable requests. If you are not satisfied with our response, you may also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.
15 Privacy for Children
Our website and services are directed to businesses and professional organizations, and they are not designed for children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of thirteen. If you are a parent or guardian and you believe that a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us so that we can take steps to remove the information and investigate the matter.
Because our services are purchased by companies rather than by individual consumers, we do not have a mechanism for children to create accounts or to use our systems directly. The computer systems we design are operated by trained professionals within client organizations, and our agreements require our clients to comply with all applicable laws concerning the protection of children.
If we learn that we have collected personal information from a child under the age of thirteen without verified parental consent, we will delete that information promptly and we will review our collection practices to prevent the situation from recurring.
16 Third Party Websites
Our website may contain links to third party websites, such as industry publications, professional networks, or tools used by our clients. This Privacy Policy does not apply to those third party websites, and we do not control their content or their data practices. When you leave our website, we encourage you to read the privacy policy of every site you visit.
A link to a third party website does not mean that we endorse that website or that we are responsible for its content. We provide links as a convenience to our visitors, and you follow them at your own discretion. Any information you provide on a third party website is governed by the privacy practices of that website, not by ours.
We are not responsible for the privacy practices of websites that we do not operate, and we accept no liability for the handling of your information by third parties. Please review each website privacy policy carefully before you share any personal information with it.
17 Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, changes in technology, or changes in the law. When we make changes, we will update the effective date at the top of this page, and we will place a notice on our website so that you are aware of the update.
We encourage you to review this policy periodically so that you remain informed about how we collect, use, and protect personal information. Significant changes that affect your rights will be highlighted in the notice, and where required by law we will seek your consent before applying the new terms to information we already hold.
Continued use of our website or services after we post a revised policy means that you accept the updated version. If you do not agree with the revised policy, you may stop using our website and services and you may contact us to discuss your information as described in this policy.
