Who we are
BulkheadWalls.com is operated by Barefoot Marine Construction ("we", "us").
What we collect
- Information you submit: name, email, phone, preferred contact method, project location (ZIP, city, state), project details, photos, tool results you choose to attach, and your consent choices with a timestamp.
- Contractor applications: business, licensing, insurance and contact details you provide.
- Tool use without submission: the Health Check, Budget Planner and other tools run in your browser. Answers are not sent to us unless you download a PDF (processed and not stored) or submit a request.
- Usage events: anonymous, cookie-free events such as "assessment completed", with the page, campaign parameters (UTM) and a random per-tab identifier. We do not use advertising cookies.
- Security data: a keyed one-way hash of your IP address, used for spam prevention and rate limiting. We do not store raw IP addresses with submissions.
How we use it
- To review and respond to your request.
- If you consent, to share your request with one contractor we select to review your project (see the referral disclosure).
- To prevent spam and abuse, and to measure which pages and tools are useful.
Photos
Photos are resized in your browser, which removes embedded location data, before upload. They are stored privately and are visible only to our staff and, with your consent, the contractor reviewing your project.
Sharing
We do not sell your personal information. We share it only with a contractor as described above, with service providers who host our site, database and email (under confidentiality obligations), or where required by law.
Retention
Project requests are kept for up to 730 days from submission unless you ask us to delete them sooner or a longer period is required by law, after which they are deleted.
Your choices
You can ask to access, correct or delete your information, or withdraw consent to sharing, by contacting us. Depending on your state, you may have additional rights under state privacy laws.
Children
This site is intended for adults and we do not knowingly collect information from children.
Changes
We will update this page and its date when this policy changes.
