Privacy Policy

Last updated: August 2026

Puget Sound Painting Corporation (“we,” “us,” “our”) is committed to protecting and respecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy describes how we collect, use, and share personal information when you visit our website, request a quote, apply for a job with us, or otherwise contact us.

Please read this policy carefully. By using our website, you agree to its terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the site. We may update this policy from time to time, and the date above will change when we do.

Who we are

Puget Sound Painting Corporation 1408 Sweetbay Dr, Bellingham, WA 98229 Phone: 360-319-9608 Email: paul@pugetsound-painting.com

We are a painting contractor serving Whatcom and Skagit County, Washington. We are a single, independently owned company — we have no parent company, subsidiaries, or affiliated group.

The information we collect

Information you give us. When you request a quote, apply for a job, or contact us, we may collect:

• Your name
• Phone number and email address
• The property address for the work you’re asking about
• Details about your project — property type, approximate size, year built, timeline, budget range, and anything you tell us in your own words
• Photographs or documents you choose to upload
• How you prefer to be contacted, and the best time to reach you
• How you heard about us, and who referred you if applicable

If you apply for a job with us, we also collect your work history, experience, driver’s license and vehicle status, availability, and your resume if you upload one.

Information collected automatically. When you visit our website, we and our service providers may automatically collect:

• Your IP address and general location
• Your browser type, device type, and operating system
• The pages you visit, how long you spend on them, and the date and time of your visit
• The website or search that referred you to us

This is collected using cookies and similar technologies. See our Cookie Policy for details.

Information from social media. If you interact with our Facebook page or leave us a review on Google or Yelp, we may see profile information you have made publicly available, along with your review or comment.

How we use your information

We use the information we collect to:

• Respond to your inquiry and prepare a quote
• Schedule, carry out, and follow up on work at your property
• Contact you about your project by phone, text, or email, according to the preference you gave us
• Review and respond to job applications
• Operate, maintain, and improve our website
• Understand how visitors use our site so we can make it better
• Meet our legal, insurance, licensing, and record-keeping obligations

About text messages. If you tell us that text is your preferred contact method, you are agreeing to receive text messages from us about your project at the number you provided. Message and data rates may apply. You can stop these at any time by replying STOP or by telling us directly. We do not use your number for marketing texts unless you separately agree to that.

Marketing. [CONFIRM — does Puget Sound Painting send marketing emails, newsletters, or seasonal offers? If not, this paragraph should be deleted rather than left in "just in case."] We may occasionally contact you about our services, offers, or seasonal reminders. Every marketing email includes an unsubscribe link, and you can ask us to stop at any time using the contact details above.

How we share your information

We do not sell your personal information.

We share it only in the following circumstances:

• With companies that provide services to us — for example our website host, the software that runs our contact and application forms, our email provider, and our analytics provider. These companies may only use your information to provide services to us.
• With our crew — the painters assigned to your job will have the information they need to carry out the work, such as your address and project details.
• When the law requires it — in response to a subpoena, court order, or lawful request, or to comply with our legal, licensing, bonding, or insurance obligations.
• To protect our rights — to investigate fraud, enforce our agreements, or protect the safety of our business, employees, customers, or the public.
• In a business transfer — if our business is sold or merged, your information may transfer to the new owner, subject to this policy.

How long we keep it

We keep quote requests and customer records for as long as needed to serve you and to meet our legal, tax, insurance, and warranty obligations. Job applications are kept for a reasonable period in case a suitable role comes up. You can ask us to delete your information at any time using the contact details above, and we will do so unless we’re required to keep it.

How we protect it

We use reasonable administrative and technical safeguards to protect the information we hold. No method of transmission over the internet is completely secure, however, so we cannot guarantee absolute security. Please don’t send us sensitive information such as Social Security numbers, bank details, or payment card numbers through our website forms — we will never ask for these through the site.

Your choices and rights

You can:

• Ask us what personal information we hold about you
• Ask us to correct anything that’s wrong
• Ask us to delete your information
• Ask us to stop contacting you, or change how we contact you
• Opt out of analytics and advertising cookies — see our Cookie Policy

To do any of these, contact us using the details at the top of this page. We’ll respond as quickly as we can, and within any timeframe the law requires.

Depending on where you live, you may have additional rights under your state’s privacy laws. We’ll honor those rights where they apply to you.

You can also opt out of interest-based advertising across many companies at once through the Digital Advertising Alliance at youradchoices.com or the Network Advertising Initiative at thenai.org.

Children

Our website is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. If you believe a child has given us their information, please contact us and we will delete it.

Third-party websites

Our site links to other websites, including Google, Facebook, Yelp, and the Better Business Bureau. We are not responsible for their privacy practices. Please read their policies before giving them your information.
