Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy applies to www.gulf-pride.com and to the personal information Gulf Pride Paving & Civil Contractors ("Gulf Pride," "we," "us," "our") collects through this website, our web forms, our email correspondence, and our phone and text communications that begin through this website.

It does not apply to information collected offline outside of those channels, to personal information you provide directly to a third party through that party's own website, or to employment records governed by a separate employee privacy notice.

This policy is effective as of August 11, 2026. When we make a material change we update the "Last Updated" date above and note the change in our internal version history.

Gulf Pride Paving & Civil Contractors is the business responsible for the personal information described in this policy. Under the GDPR, we are the data controller for that information.

We have not appointed a Data Protection Officer. [PLACEHOLDER: confirm — if you have an EU/UK representative or DPO, list them here]

Information you give us through our forms

Our Free Estimate form and Contact form collect the following, and we use each field as described in Section 4:

• Your name
• Your email address
• Your phone number
• Your mailing address and/or the project site address
• Project details you describe — service type, scope, timing, square footage, site conditions, budget notes, and any files or photos you attach
• Whether the request is commercial/civil or residential

Careers and job application information

Our Careers pages route applications to a third-party application form. Through that form and through any resume you send us, we receive your name, contact details, work history, qualifications, certifications and licenses (including CDL status where relevant), and anything else you choose to include in your resume or cover letter.

We do not ask for sensitive personal information such as Social Security numbers, government ID numbers, or health information through this website. [PLACEHOLDER: confirm — if background-check or drug-screening consent is collected at any later hiring stage, that stage is governed by a separate notice]

Information collected automatically

• IP address and approximate location derived from it (city/region level)
• Device type, operating system, screen size, and browser type and version
• Pages you view, the order you view them in, time on page, and scroll depth
• The referring website or campaign that brought you here
• Date and time of your visit

Cookies and analytics data

We use Google Analytics (Google Tag, measurement ID G-PC1KN6EL4H) and the cookies and identifiers it sets to measure site traffic and understand which pages and services visitors engage with. See Section 5 and our Cookie Policy.

We use personal information only for the purposes below. Where the GDPR applies, the legal basis for each purpose is listed with it.

• Responding to estimate and quote requests — preparing pricing, asking follow-up questions, and sending you a proposal. Legal basis: performance of a contract or steps taken at your request prior to a contract.
• Scheduling and performing work — mobilizing crews, coordinating site access, and communicating about job timing. Legal basis: performance of a contract.
• General communications — answering questions you send us by form, email, phone, or text. Legal basis: legitimate interests in responding to inquiries.
• Recruitment — evaluating applications, contacting candidates, and maintaining a candidate pipeline. Legal basis: steps taken at your request prior to an employment contract, and our legitimate interest in hiring qualified crews.
• Marketing follow-up — following up on an open estimate, sending seasonal maintenance reminders, and sending occasional updates about our services. Legal basis: your consent, or our legitimate interest in marketing to existing and prospective commercial customers. You can opt out at any time — see Section 11.
• Site analytics and improvement — understanding traffic, diagnosing errors, and improving page speed and content. Legal basis: consent where required for non-essential cookies; otherwise our legitimate interest in maintaining a functional website.
• Legal, safety, and record-keeping — complying with law, keeping contract and bid records, and establishing or defending legal claims. Legal basis: legal obligation and legitimate interests.

We do not use personal information for automated decision-making that produces legal or similarly significant effects, and we do not profile visitors for that purpose.

We use a small number of cookies and similar technologies: strictly necessary cookies that make the site work, a preference cookie that records your cookie-consent choice, and analytics cookies set by Google Analytics that measure site usage.

You can accept or decline non-essential cookies through our cookie banner, and you can clear or block cookies in your browser settings at any time. Blocking strictly necessary cookies may prevent parts of the site from working.

For the full list of cookies, their purposes, and their lifespans, read our Cookie Policy.

We disclose personal information to service providers who process it on our behalf, under contract, and only for the purposes we specify. We share by category as follows:

• Website hosting and CDN — serves this website and processes server logs including IP addresses. [PLACEHOLDER: vendor name]
• Email delivery and CRM — stores your form submission and delivers our replies and follow-up messages. [PLACEHOLDER: vendor name(s)]
• Analytics providers — measures site usage. We currently use Google Analytics. [PLACEHOLDER: confirm any additional analytics or ad-tracking tools]
• Recruiting / application platform — receives and stores job applications submitted through our Careers pages. [PLACEHOLDER: vendor name]
• Professional advisors and insurers — attorneys, accountants, and insurers, where needed for a specific matter.
• Legal and successor disclosures — law enforcement or regulators when legally required, and a buyer or successor entity in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets.

We do not disclose your personal information to third parties for their own independent marketing purposes.

[PLACEHOLDER: confirm whether any vendor stores data outside the United States; if so, we must describe the transfer safeguards (e.g. Standard Contractual Clauses) here]

We keep personal information only as long as we need it for the purpose it was collected for, or as long as the law requires.

• Estimate and contact form submissions — retained for [PLACEHOLDER: confirm duration, e.g. 3 years] from your last contact with us.
• Customer and project records — retained for [PLACEHOLDER: confirm duration, e.g. 7 years] after project completion for warranty, tax, and legal-claim purposes.
• Job applications — retained for [PLACEHOLDER: confirm duration, e.g. 1 year] after the position is filled, unless you ask us to remove them sooner.
• Marketing contact details — retained until you opt out, then kept on a suppression list so we do not contact you again.
• Analytics data — retained according to our analytics provider's configured retention window, [PLACEHOLDER: confirm setting, e.g. 14 months].

When a retention period ends, we delete the information or de-identify it so it can no longer be linked to you.

We maintain administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect personal information against loss, misuse, and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction. These include encryption of traffic to and from this website using HTTPS/TLS, access controls that limit personal information to staff who need it for their work, use of reputable vendors with their own security programs, and routine review of the accounts and systems that hold customer and applicant data.

No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security. Please do not send sensitive information such as Social Security numbers or financial account numbers through our website forms.

California residents (CCPA / CPRA)

• Right to know — request the categories and specific pieces of personal information we have collected about you, the sources, the purposes, and the categories of third parties we disclosed it to.
• Right to delete — request deletion of personal information we collected from you, subject to legal exceptions.
• Right to correct — request correction of inaccurate personal information.
• Right to opt out of sale or sharing — direct us not to sell your personal information or share it for cross-context behavioral advertising. We honor opt-out preference signals, including Global Privacy Control (GPC), sent by your browser or extension, and we treat a GPC signal as a valid opt-out request for that browser and device.
• Right to limit use of sensitive personal information — direct us to limit use of sensitive personal information to what is necessary to provide our services. We do not collect sensitive personal information through this website.
• Right to non-discrimination — we will not deny you service, charge you a different price, or provide a lower quality of service because you exercised a privacy right.

You may use an authorized agent to submit a request. We will verify your identity before acting on a request to know, delete, or correct, and we will respond within the timeframes the law requires.

Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information

Gulf Pride does not sell your personal information, and we do not share it for cross-context behavioral advertising. Because we do not sell or share personal information, we do not offer financial incentives tied to your data.

[REVIEW: confirm this is accurate. If any analytics or advertising tool on the site transfers visitor identifiers to a third party for advertising purposes, that may count as "sharing" under the CPRA and this statement must be revised and a "Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information" opt-out link added.]

Other U.S. states

Residents of other states with comprehensive privacy laws have similar rights to access, correct, delete, and opt out. We extend the rights described above to all site visitors regardless of where they live.

To exercise any right, see Section 14.

This website is directed at commercial property owners, managers, contractors, and job seekers. It is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 as defined by the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA).

If you believe a child under 13 has provided us with personal information, contact us at info@gulf-pride.com and we will delete it.

Email

Every marketing email we send identifies Gulf Pride as the sender, includes our physical mailing address, and includes a working unsubscribe link. You can also unsubscribe by replying "UNSUBSCRIBE" or by emailing info@gulf-pride.com. We process opt-out requests within 10 business days, as required by the CAN-SPAM Act. Transactional messages about an active estimate, contract, or scheduled job are not marketing and continue regardless of your marketing preferences.

Calls and text messages

By providing your phone number on one of our forms, you consent to receive calls and text messages from Gulf Pride about your request, including calls placed with an autodialer or prerecorded voice where applicable. Consent is not a condition of purchase. Message and data rates may apply.

To stop text messages, reply STOP to any message; reply HELP for help. To be added to our internal do-not-call list, call (228) 314-7283 or email us. We maintain that list in accordance with the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA).

This website links to third-party sites and services, including our job application form, our social media profiles, and mapping services. Those sites are controlled by others and have their own privacy policies. We are not responsible for their content or their data practices. Review the privacy policy of any third-party site before providing personal information to it.

We update this policy when our practices, our vendors, or the law change. When we do, we revise the "Last Updated" date at the top of the page. For material changes — such as collecting a new category of personal information or using it for a new purpose — we post a notice on this page for at least 30 days and, where required, obtain your consent before the change takes effect.

Continued use of the site after an update means you accept the revised policy.
