Privacy Policy

Effective Date: August 1, 2026 | Last Updated: August 1, 2026

At Fred C. Doppler & Sons, Inc. (accessible from freddoppler.com), one of our main priorities is the privacy of our visitors. This Privacy Policy document outlines the types of information we collect, how it is used, and the steps we take to protect it.

1. Information We Collect

We collect information in two ways: information you provide directly to us through forms, and information collected automatically through analytics, caching, and security services.

A. Information You Provide Directly

Contact Form: When you reach out via our contact form, we collect personal information such as your [Name, Email Address, Phone Number, and the content of your message].
Request an Estimate Form: To provide you with accurate service quotes, we collect information including your [Name, Email Address, Phone Number, Property/Project Address, Project Details, etc.].

B. Information Collected Automatically

Log Files & Server Caching: Like most standard websites, our CMS (Joomla) and server log files automatically log standard browser data. This includes internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, Internet Service Provider (ISP), date/time stamps, referring/exit pages, and click counts.
Page Caching: Page caching to optimize site performance and page load speed. Caching temporary stores browser/session data locally on your device or server to deliver content faster on return visits.

2. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

We use cookies and similar tracking technologies to store user preferences, analyze site performance, and enhance security.

Essential & Functional Cookies: We use session cookies necessary for site navigation, form security (anti-CSRF tokens), and core functionality.
Analytics Cookies (Google Analytics): We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors interact with our website. Google Analytics uses cookies to collect anonymous information such as page views, traffic sources, and duration of visits.
Security & Performance Cookies (Cloudflare): If Cloudflare is active on our domain, functional cookies (such as security tokens) may be placed on your device to detect automated bot activity, mitigate malicious attacks, and route website traffic efficiently.

You can choose to disable cookies through your individual browser options. However, doing so may impact your experience or ability to use certain features on our site.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect for the following purposes:

To respond to inquiries: Answering questions submitted through our contact form.
To deliver service estimates: Reviewing project requests and sending accurate pricing and timeline details.
To optimize website performance: Utilizing Google Analytics, Cloudflare, and page caching to ensure our site runs fast, securely, and without errors.
To maintain site security: Protecting our web infrastructure against spam, illegal activity, and unauthorized attempts to access our systems.

4. Third-Party Services

We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal identification information to third parties. However, we rely on trusted third-party service providers to help run our business and website:

Google Analytics: Used to monitor traffic and site usage. You can learn more about how Google handles your data by visiting the Google Privacy & Terms Policy.
Cloudflare: Used for Content Delivery Network (CDN) caching, DNS management, and web application security. Cloudflare processes system log data and IP addresses strictly for security and operational integrity.

5. Data Retention & Security

We retain form submissions and contact request information only for as long as necessary to fulfill your request or satisfy legal, accounting, or reporting requirements.

We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to safeguard your personal data. However, please note that no method of transmission over the internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure.

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the following rights regarding your personal data:
