This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, share, and protect information when you visit www.steelsmithinc.com (the "Site"), request a quote, or otherwise communicate with us. By using the Site, you agree to the practices described in this policy.
1. Information We Collect

When you request a quote, complete a form, call us, or email us, we may collect:

- Project details such as building type, building use, dimensions or estimated square footage, jobsite location (city, state or province, and ZIP or postal code), timeline, and budget range.

Information Collected Automatically
When you visit the Site, we and our service providers may automatically collect certain information, including your IP address, browser type, device type, operating system, referring website, pages viewed, time spent on pages, and general location (such as city or region) based on your IP address. We collect this information using cookies, pixels, server logs, and similar technologies.
Information From Other Sources
We may receive information about you from referral sources and business partners, such as a general contractor, architect, developer, or manufacturer who refers your project to us, as well as from review platforms and publicly available sources.
We do not ask for sensitive personal information such as Social Security numbers, bank or credit card numbers, or health information through the Site. Please do not submit this type of information through our forms.
2. How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect to:
- Respond to quote requests, questions, and other inquiries.
- Prepare estimates, pricing, proposals, designs, and engineering for your project.
- Provide and manage our design-build, construction, concrete, metal roof replacement, and related services.
- Send project updates and service information, and, if you have opted in, marketing communications about our buildings and services.
- Operate, maintain, secure, and improve the Site, including measuring traffic and the performance of our content and advertising.
- Detect and prevent spam, fraud, and misuse of the Site.
- Comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements.
3. Cookies and Tracking Technologies
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. The Site uses the following types of cookies and similar technologies:
- Essential cookies that allow the Site and its forms to function properly and securely.
- Analytics cookies, including Google Analytics, that help us understand how visitors find and use the Site. You can learn how Google uses this data at policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites and opt out using the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
- Advertising cookies and pixels that may be placed by advertising platforms such as Google and Meta (Facebook) to measure the results of our ads and to show you relevant ads on other websites and apps.
You can block or delete cookies through your browser settings, although some parts of the Site may not work properly as a result. You can also limit interest-based advertising through Google Ads Settings, the Digital Advertising Alliance, and the Network Advertising Initiative.
Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control. Because there is no common industry standard for "Do Not Track" browser signals, the Site does not currently respond to them. Where required by applicable law, we treat a Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal as a request to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information for targeted advertising for that browser.
4. Third-Party Services and Embedded Content
The Site includes tools and content provided by third parties. These providers may collect information directly from your device under their own privacy policies. Examples include:
- Google Maps, used to display our office location and project map.
- Review widgets that display customer reviews from third-party platforms such as Google.
- Spam protection services that review form submissions to filter out spam and automated abuse.
- Social media links to our pages on platforms such as Facebook and X (Twitter).
We encourage you to review the privacy policies of these third parties, since we do not control how they collect or use information.
5. How We Share Your Information
We do not sell your personal information for money. We share information only in the following situations:
- Service providers who help us operate our business and the Site, such as website hosting, form processing, email, customer relationship management, analytics, advertising, and IT support providers. These providers may use your information only to perform services for us.
- Project partners, such as building manufacturers, engineers, architects, subcontractors, suppliers, and erection crews, when needed to price, design, permit, deliver, or construct your project.
- Legal and safety reasons, when we believe disclosure is required by law, subpoena, or court order, or is necessary to protect the rights, property, or safety of Steelsmith, our customers, or others.
- Business transfers, in connection with a merger, acquisition, financing, or sale of all or part of our business.
- With your consent or at your direction.
Under some state privacy laws, allowing advertising partners to collect information through cookies and pixels for targeted advertising may be considered "sharing" or a "sale." You can opt out of this activity as described in Section 3 and Section 10.
6. Text Messages
If you provide your mobile number and agree to receive text messages, we may text you about your inquiry, quote, or project. Message frequency varies, and message and data rates may apply. Reply STOP at any time to opt out or HELP for assistance. Mobile phone numbers and text messaging consent are not shared with third parties or affiliates for their marketing purposes.
7. Email Communications
If you opt in to receive more information from Steelsmith, we may send you emails about our buildings, services, and company news. You can unsubscribe at any time by clicking the "unsubscribe" link in any marketing email or by contacting us. Even after you unsubscribe, we may still send you messages related to an active quote or project.
8. Data Retention
We keep personal information for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this policy, including responding to your inquiry, completing your project, supporting warranty and service obligations, and meeting legal, tax, accounting, and record-keeping requirements. When information is no longer needed, we delete it or de-identify it.
9. Data Security
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect personal information, including SSL encryption on the Site. However, no website, transmission over the internet, or storage system is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee the absolute security of your information.
