Privacy Policy
This policy explains what information ECD — Engineering Contracting Design collects through engineering-contracting-design.com, why we collect it, who we share it with and how you can ask us to correct or delete it. We collect only what we need to answer your request and run your project.
Information you give us
When you fill in the estimate or contact form, call us or email us, we receive the details you choose to share: your name, phone number, email address, project address, a description of your project and any photos or drawings you upload. If you become a client, we also keep the contract, drawings, permit records, payment records and correspondence related to your project.
Information collected automatically
Like most websites, this site records basic technical information when you visit: the pages you view, the page that referred you, your browser and device type and an approximate location derived from your IP address. We use this to understand which pages are useful and to keep the site secure. The calculators on this site run in your browser; the values you enter into them are not stored unless you submit an estimate request.
We use Google Analytics 4 for site statistics. It may set cookies in your browser. You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings without losing access to any part of the site.
How we use your information
- To respond to your estimate or contact request and schedule a site visit.
- To design, engineer, permit and build your project, and to communicate with you about it.
- To submit permit applications and respond to the city on your behalf.
- To send one review request after your project is complete.
- To keep business records required by law, including tax and contractor records.
We do not sell your personal information, and we do not use it for advertising on other websites.
Who we share it with
We share project information only with the parties needed to complete your project: the city or county building department, utility providers, subcontractors and suppliers working on your project, and our accountant, insurer or attorney when required. Permit applications become public records held by the city; that is a requirement of permitting, not a choice we make. We may disclose information if required by law or to protect our legal rights.
How long we keep it
Requests that do not become projects are kept for up to 24 months and then deleted. Project records, including drawings, calculations and permit documents, are kept for as long as we may have warranty, legal or professional obligations related to the work.
Your choices
You can ask us to show you the personal information we hold about you, correct it, or delete it where we are not required to keep it. Send the request to [email protected] or call (425) 519-9942. We will confirm your identity before acting on the request.
Security
Forms on this site are sent over an encrypted connection. Project files are stored in access-controlled systems available only to ECD staff working on your project. No system is perfectly secure, and we will notify you if we learn that your information was affected by a breach, as Washington law requires.
Children
This site is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect information from children under 13.
Changes and contact
If we change this policy, the new version will be posted on this page. Questions about privacy can be sent to ECD — Engineering Contracting Design, 10900 NE 8th St, Suite 1000, Bellevue, WA 98004.
