Privacy Policy

McMahan Industrial Services respects your privacy. This policy explains what information we collect through mcmahanindustrialservices.com, why we collect it, who we share it with, and the choices you have.

McMahan Industrial Services is an industrial welding and metal fabrication company based at 7269 IA-28, Norwalk, IA 50211, serving Des Moines and the surrounding area. In this policy, "we," "us" and "our" refer to McMahan Industrial Services.

This policy covers our website. It does not cover information you give us in person, on a job site, or through a separate written agreement.

Information You Give Us

Our quote and contact forms ask for your name, email address and phone number. Anything else you choose to include, such as a description of your project, is collected along with it.

We use this information to respond to you, prepare a quote, schedule work, and keep a record of our correspondence. We do not require you to submit any information to browse the site.

Information Collected Automatically

Like most websites, ours records certain technical information automatically when you visit. This typically includes your IP address, browser type and version, device type, operating system, the pages you view, the time and date of your visit, and the site or search that referred you.

This information is collected through cookies and similar technologies operated by us and by the third-party services listed below.

Cookies and Third-Party Services

A cookie is a small text file stored on your device. We use them to understand how the site is used, to measure the performance of our advertising, and to keep our forms working correctly.

The following third-party services run on this website and may set cookies or collect information about your visit:

• Google Analytics — measures how visitors find and use the site.
• Google Ads and Google Tag Manager — measure the performance of our advertising and help us reach people who have shown interest in our services.
• HubSpot — hosts some of our forms and helps us manage and follow up on enquiries.
• LinkedIn Insight Tag — measures the performance of our advertising on LinkedIn.
• Google reCAPTCHA — protects our forms from automated spam.
• Google Maps — displays the map showing our location.

Each of these companies handles the information it collects under its own privacy policy, which you can read on its website. We do not control how they use it.

Our forms are protected by Google reCAPTCHA. Google's Privacy Policy and Terms of Service apply to that service, and it collects hardware and software information to tell people apart from automated traffic.

How We Use Your Information

• To answer your enquiry and provide a quote
• To carry out and support work you have asked us to do
• To contact you about your project or our services
• To understand how our website is used and improve it
• To measure and improve our advertising
• To protect the site against spam, fraud and abuse
• To meet our legal, tax and accounting obligations

How We Share Your Information

We do not sell your personal information for money.

We share information in these circumstances only:

• Service providers. The analytics, advertising, form and hosting providers named above process information on our behalf so the site and our enquiry process can function.
• Professional advisers. Our accountants, insurers and legal advisers, where they need it to advise us.
• Legal requirements. Where we are required to disclose information by law, subpoena or court order, or where we need to protect our rights, property or safety, or that of others.
• Business transfer. If the business is sold or merged, information may transfer as part of that transaction.

Because we use advertising and analytics services from Google, HubSpot and LinkedIn, some information about your visit is shared with those companies. Under some state privacy laws this activity may be treated as "sharing" or as "targeted advertising" even though no money changes hands. You can limit it using the options in the next section.

Your Choices

You have several ways to control what is collected:

• Browser settings. Most browsers let you block or delete cookies. Blocking them may stop parts of the site working properly.
• Google Analytics. Google publishes a browser add-on that opts you out of Google Analytics across all websites.
• Advertising. You can adjust what Google shows you through your Google Ads settings, and what LinkedIn shows you through your LinkedIn account settings.
• Do Not Track. Browsers vary in how they send this signal and there is no agreed standard for responding to it, so our site does not currently respond to it.
• Email. If we send you anything you did not ask for, reply and tell us to stop and we will.

Your Privacy Rights

You may ask us to tell you what personal information we hold about you, correct it if it is wrong, or delete it. Depending on where you live, you may have these rights under state law. Whether or not a law requires it, we will honor reasonable requests.

To make a request, contact us using the details at the bottom of this page. We may need to verify your identity before we act, and we will respond within a reasonable time. We will not treat you differently for exercising these rights.

Some information must be kept even after a request. Records tied to completed work, contracts, invoices, warranties and insurance are retained where we are required to keep them or need them to establish or defend a legal claim.

How Long We Keep Information

We keep enquiry and customer information for as long as we have an active relationship with you, and afterwards for as long as we need it for the purposes described in this policy or to meet legal, tax, accounting and insurance requirements. Automatically collected website data is retained according to the settings of the analytics and advertising services named above.

Security

We take reasonable steps to protect the information we hold, including serving this website over an encrypted connection. No website or method of transmission is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security. Please do not send sensitive information such as financial account details through our website forms.

Children's Privacy

Our services are directed at businesses and property owners, not children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 13. If you believe a child has given us information, contact us and we will delete it.

Links to Other Websites

Our site may link to websites we do not operate. We are not responsible for their content or their privacy practices, and we encourage you to read the privacy policy of any site you visit.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy as our website or our practices change. When we do, we will revise the date at the top of this page. Please check back from time to time.
