1. Overview
This policy explains what information the Manzanita Electric website (manzanitaelectric.com) collects, how we use it, and the choices you have. We keep it simple: we collect only what we need to respond to you and understand how the site is used.
2. What Information We Collect
Information you give us. When you fill out a contact or quote-request form, we receive what you enter — typically your name, phone number, email address, and a description of the work you need. Form submissions are delivered to us by email through FormSubmit, a third-party form service.
Information collected automatically. Like most websites, we collect basic analytics data about visits, including:
- Pages visited and how long you stay
- Device type and browser type
- Approximate location (such as city or region — never your exact address)
- The site or search engine that referred you here
3. How We Use Your Information
We use contact form submissions to respond to your inquiry, schedule work, and provide quotes. We use analytics data to understand which pages are useful and to improve the site. That's it — we don't use your information for anything unrelated to running our business and serving customers.
4. Cookies and Google Analytics
This site uses Google Analytics, a service from Google that helps us understand site traffic. Google Analytics sets cookies — small text files stored in your browser — to distinguish visitors and measure visits. The analytics data we see is aggregated and doesn't identify you personally. You can learn more in Google's Privacy Policy.
5. We Do Not Sell Your Information
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information. We share it only with service providers who help us run the website (such as our hosting and form-delivery services, and Google Analytics as described above), or if we're required to by law.
6. How Long We Keep Data
We keep contact form submissions in our email for as long as we need them to serve you and keep normal business records. Analytics data is retained according to Google Analytics' standard retention settings. If you'd like us to delete a message you sent us, just ask using the contact details below.
7. Your Choices: Opting Out of Cookies
You're in control of cookies. You can:
- Block or delete cookies in your browser settings (look for "Privacy" or "Cookies" in your browser's settings menu — every major browser supports this)
- Install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on to stop Google Analytics from collecting your data on any site
- Browse in private/incognito mode, which discards cookies when you close the window
The site works fine with cookies disabled — you'll just be invisible to our analytics.
8. Children's Privacy
This website is intended for adults looking for electrical services. It isn't directed at children under 13, and we don't knowingly collect personal information from them. If you believe a child has submitted information through our site, contact us and we'll delete it.
9. Changes to This Policy
If we change how we handle your information, we'll update this page and change the "Last updated" date at the top. Significant changes will be noted here clearly.
