Privacy policy

Who this applies to

This policy applies to T-Bone Construction, Inc., 1310 Ford St, Colorado Springs, CO 80915, and to this website.

What this website collects

This site has exactly one form, on the contact page. When you submit it, the following fields are transmitted to us and no others:

• Your name — required.
• Email address — required, so we can reply.
• Telephone number — optional.
• Organisation — optional.
• Where the project is — optional.
• Division of work — optional, a menu selection.
• The project — required, free text.
• Your consent — a required checkbox recording that you agree to be contacted about the enquiry.

The form also contains one hidden field labelled “Website”, positioned off screen. It exists solely to detect automated submissions: a person never sees it or fills it in, and a submission that arrives with it completed is discarded. It collects nothing about you.

Nothing on this form is pre-filled, inferred, purchased or appended from another source. What we receive is what you typed. The submission is delivered to us by email at [email protected], together with the date and time of submission and the hostname of the site it came from. There is no customer database behind this website and no login of any kind.

Please do not attach drawings, surveys, lease documents, financial information or anything confidential to a first enquiry. Telephone and we will tell you where to send them.

What a telephone call records

When you telephone about a project, we write down what is needed to answer you: your name, the organisation you are calling from, a way to reach you back, where the project is and what the building has to do.

Where the call becomes a project, we hold the ordinary records a commercial contractor has to hold: the proposal, the contract and change orders, drawings and specifications, submittals, permit documents, daily reports, site photography, test and special-inspection records, subcontractor and supplier agreements, pay applications, lien waivers, invoices and payment records, and the closeout package. Several of those we are contractually and legally obliged to retain.

We do not record telephone calls.

Project information you send us

A commercial project generates genuinely sensitive material: site plans, security and access arrangements, lease terms, tenant identities before they are public, equipment layouts, and sometimes operational information about a business.

We treat all of it as confidential. It is shared only with the people working on your project and with the consultants and subcontractors who need it to do their part, and it is not used for anything else. Where a project warrants a non-disclosure agreement, we will sign yours rather than asking you to use ours.

Two things are outside our control and worth stating plainly. Permit records are public. Once an application is filed, the address, the scope and the valuation are a matter of public record. And on a public or institutional project, much of the procurement record may be subject to open-records law. Neither is something a contractor can change.

Site photography taken on your project belongs to your project. We do not publish it — which is why there are no project photographs on this website — and we do not use it in a proposal to somebody else without asking you first and in writing.

Cookies, analytics and advertising tags

This site sets no cookies of its own. There is no session, no login, no preferences store, no consent-banner state and no first-party analytics.

We do not use Google Analytics, Meta Pixel, LinkedIn Insight, Hotjar, session recording, heatmaps, chat widgets, embedded video, embedded maps or social media buttons. No fonts, stylesheets, scripts or images are fetched from a content delivery network; the two typefaces used here are served from this domain.

Microsoft Advertising Universal Event Tracking (UET) is currently disabled. This site is built to load the UET tag from bat.bing.com while we run paid search advertising, but it is conditional on a single tag identifier in the site configuration file. While that identifier is unset the tag is not present in the page at all: no script element is written, no queue is created and no request is made. In its present state this website makes zero external network requests of any kind. If that changes, this section changes with it, because it is generated from the same setting.

Server logs. Our web host keeps ordinary server logs recording the IP address, browser and device type, the page requested, the referring page and the time. These are technical records used for security and troubleshooting, generated by the hosting infrastructure rather than by anything on the page.

Why we hold it, and what we never do with it

We use what you tell us to answer your enquiry, prepare a proposal or a guaranteed maximum price, design and build the project, obtain permits, invoice it, and meet the record-keeping obligations that come with licensed construction work.

We do not sell, rent, trade or share your details with anyone for their own marketing, and we do not build advertising audiences from them. The only third parties who receive anything are the ones who have to: the consultants and subcontractors working on your project, the authorities in the course of permitting and inspection, our surety and insurers where a bond or a claim arises, our accountants, and regulators or tax authorities where the law requires it.

How long we keep it

An enquiry that does not become a project is kept while it is live and for a short period afterwards, then discarded.

Project records — contracts, change orders, drawings, submittals, permits, photography, test records, pay applications, lien waivers, closeout documents — are kept for as long as accounting, tax and Colorado construction liability rules require. On commercial work that is a long period and in some cases runs for years past completion.

That is not obstruction and it protects you at least as much as it protects us. If a question ever arises about whether something was built, inspected and certified as required — and on a commercial building it eventually does, usually at a sale or a refinance — those records are the thing that answers it.

Server logs are kept for a short operational period by our host and then rotated out.

Your choices, including under Colorado law

You can ask what we hold about you, ask for it to be corrected, ask for it to be deleted, and tell us to stop contacting you. The opt-out policy sets out how, and is explicit about what we are still obliged to keep after a deletion request.

Colorado residents have specific rights over personal data under state law, including rights of access, correction, deletion and opt-out. We honour those requests from anybody who asks, resident or not, subject only to records we are legally required to retain. We do not sell personal data and never have.

Changes, and how to reach us

If this policy changes we update the review date at the top of this page.

To ask anything about it, telephone (719) 570-1456 during Mon–Fri 7:30 AM–4:30 PM MT, email [email protected], or write to T-Bone Construction, Inc., 1310 Ford St, Colorado Springs, CO 80915.
