3. Cookies and Similar Technologies

The website may use cookies and similar technologies that are necessary for website functionality, security, user preferences, performance, or administration.

A cookie is a small data file stored on or associated with your device by a website.

Some cookies may be necessary for WordPress or other website functionality. Other cookies may be created by third-party services incorporated into the website.

You may be able to control or delete cookies through your browser settings. Disabling certain cookies may affect website functionality.

If G&W Engineers implements additional analytics, advertising, tracking, or similar technologies in the future, this Privacy Policy may be updated accordingly.

4. How We Use Information

Information collected through or in connection with the website may be used to:

• Respond to questions and requests;
• Communicate with prospective and existing clients;
• Evaluate requests for professional services;
• Respond to project or business inquiries;
• Process employment inquiries and applications;
• Operate, maintain, and improve the website;

• Maintain business and administrative records;
• Comply with legal and regulatory requirements;
• Establish, exercise, or defend legal rights; and
• Perform other legitimate business activities consistent with the reason the information was provided.

5. Professional and Client Communications

Submitting information through the website does not by itself create an engineer-client, consultant-client, fiduciary, confidential, or other professional relationship.

Professional services provided by G&W Engineers are governed by the applicable written agreement between G&W Engineers and the client.

Information relating to an established client relationship may also be governed by applicable contractual obligations, professional requirements, or law.

6. How We May Share Information

G&W Engineers does not sell personal information collected through this website.

We may disclose information when reasonably necessary to:

• Hosting, information technology, cybersecurity, website administration, email, or other service providers that support our business operations;
• Professional advisers such as attorneys, accountants, insurers, or consultants when appropriate;
• Government agencies, regulatory authorities, courts, or law enforcement when required or permitted by law;
• Protect the rights, property, safety, or security of G&W Engineers, our employees, clients, website visitors, or others;
• Investigate or respond to suspected fraud, security incidents, unauthorized access, or unlawful activity; or
• Facilitate a merger, acquisition, restructuring, sale, financing, or other business transaction involving G&W Engineers.

Service providers receiving information on our behalf are expected to use that information for the purposes for which it was provided and subject to applicable contractual and legal requirements.

7. Employment Information

If you submit a résumé, employment application, or other career-related information, we may use that information to evaluate your qualifications for current or future employment opportunities.

Employment-related information may be shared internally with personnel involved in hiring and, when appropriate, with service providers assisting with recruiting, background screening, or employment administration.

Submitting employment information does not guarantee an interview or employment.

8. Data Security

G&W Engineers uses reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures intended to protect information under our control.

However, no website, server, electronic communication, or data-storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

You should therefore use appropriate caution when transmitting information electronically and should not submit highly sensitive information through general website forms unless specifically requested.

9. Data Retention

We may retain information for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, including to:

• Respond to inquiries;
• Maintain business records;
• Evaluate employment candidates;
• Meet contractual obligations;
• Maintain security and technical records;
• Resolve disputes;
• Enforce agreements; and
• Comply with legal, regulatory, insurance, or professional requirements.

Retention periods may vary depending upon the nature and purpose of the information.

10. Third-Party Websites

The website may contain links to websites or services operated by third parties.

G&W Engineers does not control the privacy, security, or data practices of third-party websites. This Privacy Policy applies only to information collected by or on behalf of G&W Engineers.

We encourage you to review the privacy policies of third-party websites before providing information to them.

11. Third-Party Website Services

Certain portions of the website may rely upon third-party technologies or services for functionality such as website hosting, security, forms, email delivery, maps, embedded content, fonts, or other website features.

Those providers may process limited technical information as necessary to provide their services.

Their handling of information may also be governed by their respective privacy policies and terms.

12. Children’s Privacy

The G&W Engineers website is intended for business and general informational purposes and is not directed toward children under the age of 13.

We do not knowingly use the website to solicit personal information from children under 13.

If we learn that personal information from a child under 13 has been submitted through the website without appropriate authorization, we will take reasonable steps to delete the information when required by applicable law.

13. Your Privacy Choices

Depending upon your location and applicable law, you may have certain rights concerning personal information maintained about you.

You may contact G&W Engineers to request that we:

• Provide information about personal information you previously submitted through the website;
• Correct inaccurate information;
• Delete information where appropriate; or
• Address a question or concern regarding our handling of your information.

Certain information may need to be retained when required for legitimate business, contractual, professional, security, or legal purposes.

We may take reasonable steps to verify a request before acting upon it.

14. Do Not Track and Browser Controls

Some web browsers provide “Do Not Track” or similar privacy signals.

Because there is not necessarily a uniform industry standard governing all such signals, the website may not respond to every browser-based privacy signal.

You may use browser settings and available privacy controls to manage cookies and certain website technologies.

15. Information Security and Fraud

G&W Engineers may collect, preserve, use, and disclose information reasonably necessary to detect, investigate, prevent, or respond to:

• Unauthorized access;
• Malware;
• Fraud;
• Phishing;
• Website attacks;
• Attempts to compromise accounts or systems; and
• Other unlawful or harmful activity.

Such information may include IP addresses, access logs, request information, security events, and related technical records.

Where appropriate, this information may be provided to hosting providers, cybersecurity professionals, insurers, legal counsel, law enforcement, or other appropriate parties.

16. Changes to This Privacy Policy

G&W Engineers may update this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect changes in our website, business practices, technology, or legal requirements.

When changes are made, the “Last Updated” date at the top of this Privacy Policy will be revised.

We encourage visitors to review this Privacy Policy periodically.
