When you browse this site, your email address is not automatically collected but our server may automatically gather and store the following information about your visit:

Your Internet domain name and IP address;
The type of browser and operating system used to access our site;

The date and time of your visit.

We may collect information directly from you if you enter the information into one of our website forms, including the following information:

Your name;
Your company name;
Your email address;
Your mailing address; and
Your telephone number.

Information you provide directly is discussed under the personal data section below.

Cookies

This website requires a web browser that supports and accepts cookies. Cookies are used to keep you connected to this site while you browse. If you are having trouble using this website, it may be because your web browser is not configured to accept cookies.

What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small data files stored on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website.

We use cookies to ensure website functionality, improve website performance; analyze website traffic; remember user preferences; and enhance user experience.

Types of Cookies Used

Essential Cookies: Necessary for Website operation.
Functional Cookies: Remember user preferences and settings.
Analytics Cookies: Allow measurement of Website traffic and performance.
Marketing Cookies: These Cookies create user profiles to send marketing or advertising material, or to track the user on a website or across several websites for similar marketing purposes.

Managing Cookies

This website allows users to manage Cookie preferences by choosing to turn off Functional Cookies, Analytics Cookies, and Marketing Cookies. Essential Cookies are necessary for performance and cannot be turned off. Restricting cookies may affect certain Website functions.

Third-Party Analytics

The Website may use third-party analytics services including Google Analytics and similar technologies to understand website usage and improve user experience. These providers may collect information about website interactions.

How do we use information?

We analyze information to determine what is most effective about this site, to help us identify ways to improve it and, eventually, to determine how we can tailor design solutions and information to become more effective for you and your company. Information may be used to:

Respond to inquiries;
Evaluate employment applications;
Provide requested services;
Improve Website functionality;

Will we share information with outside parties?

We will not sell individual information to third-party vendors. However, information may be shared with Service providers, website hosting providers, professional advisors and government agencies when legally required. When submitting information, it is completely up to you whether or not you want to provide it.

What about sensitive personal data?

We do not collect sensitive personal data through this website but do collect individually identifiable information that is voluntarily provided as discussed below.

Individually identifiable information volunteered from visitors: We collect the email addresses of those who communicate with us directly via email (as opposed to general website visitors). All information volunteered by the visitor, such as survey information and/or site registrations (e.g. name, email, address, phone number), also may be retained. Except for information needed to communicate back with a visitor to respond to their specific request (e.g. to sign up for our eNewsletter), no part of the site requires the visitor to provide individually identifiable information. This information is for internal use only and only will be shared with third parties if needed to complete a request (e.g. MailChimp for sending eNewsletters).
Security of individually identifiable information: We take reasonable measures to ensure the security of individually identifiable information stored on our website through the use of standard Internet security measures like firewalls and encryption. Only necessary administrative employees have access to secure individually identifiable information.
Access to individually identifiable information: Upon request, visitors will be provided a copy of the individually identifiable information that we store about them in order for them to correct or update that information. Please note that we may request additional information to ensure the identity of the individual requesting access to individually identifiable information.
Links to other websites: Our website provides links to other websites. No individually identifiable information is shared between us and these other websites. However, once you leave the Shook Construction website, you are subject to the policy of the new site and should consult that site’s privacy policy for its information practices.

Data Security

We maintain reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect personal information. While we take steps to maintain the security of this website, you should understand that the open nature of the Internet is such that data may flow over networks without security measures and may be accessed and used by people other than those for whom the data is intended. No system can be guaranteed completely secure.

Employment Applications

Information submitted through employment portals may be used for recruiting, hiring, onboarding, and employment administration purposes.

State Privacy Rights

Where applicable law grants privacy rights, individuals may request:

Access to personal information
Correction of inaccurate information
Deletion of eligible information; and
Information regarding data practices.

Requests may be submitted to: info@shookconstruction.com
