1. Scope

This Policy applies to personal information collected through this website and related online interactions controlled by Golden West Pipe & Supply Co Inc. It does not govern third-party websites, services, or platforms that have their own privacy policies.

Our website is primarily informational and may include contact forms, newsletter or contractor-update forms, embedded media, analytics, links to social platforms, and other online tools.

2. Information We May Collect

Depending on how you use the website, we may collect the following categories of information:

Please do not submit sensitive personal information through general website forms unless it is specifically requested and necessary for the purpose of the form.

3. Sources of Information

We may obtain personal information from:

• you directly, such as when you submit a website form, email us, call us, or otherwise contact us;
• your browser or device through cookies, logs, and similar technologies;
• service providers that help operate our website, forms, hosting, analytics, communications, or security; and
• business partners, manufacturers, or other sources where permitted by law and relevant to our business relationship with you.

4. How We Use Information

We may use personal information to:

• respond to questions, product inquiries, and support requests;
• provide contractor, product, inventory, or business updates you request or consent to receive;
• operate, maintain, secure, and improve the website;
• understand website usage and troubleshoot technical issues;
• maintain business, legal, security, and compliance records;
• prevent fraud, abuse, or unauthorized activity;
• protect the rights, safety, and property of Golden West Pipe & Supply, our customers, and others; and
• comply with applicable law, legal process, and regulatory obligations.

5. How We May Disclose Information

We may disclose personal information to:

• service providers and contractors that support website hosting, forms, communications, analytics, security, and related business functions;
• manufacturers, suppliers, or business partners when necessary to address a product inquiry, availability question, warranty matter, or service request;
• professional advisers such as legal, accounting, insurance, or security professionals where appropriate;
• government authorities or other parties when required by law or reasonably necessary to protect rights, safety, or security; and
• a successor or transaction party in connection with a merger, sale, financing, reorganization, or transfer of all or part of the business, subject to applicable law.

We do not describe ordinary disclosures to service providers as a “sale.” If our practices ever constitute a sale or sharing of personal information as those terms are defined under applicable California law, we will provide the disclosures and opt-out mechanisms required by law.

6. Cookies, Analytics, and Similar Technologies

We and our service providers may use cookies, pixels, local storage, log files, and similar technologies to keep the website functioning, understand usage, improve performance, remember preferences, and support security.

Your browser may allow you to block or delete cookies. Doing so may affect some website features. Where required by applicable law, we will provide additional choices or disclosures concerning non-essential tracking technologies.

7. Do Not Track and Global Privacy Signals

Browser “Do Not Track”

Some browsers offer a “Do Not Track” setting. Because there is not a single universally accepted technical standard for interpreting all Do Not Track signals, this website may not respond to every DNT signal in the same way.

Global Privacy Control

Where California law requires us to recognize a valid opt-out preference signal, such as Global Privacy Control, we will process that signal in accordance with applicable law for the browser or device from which it is sent.

8. Data Retention

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Policy, including customer service, business operations, legal compliance, dispute resolution, security, and recordkeeping. Retention periods may vary depending on the type of information and the reason it was collected.

9. Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect personal information against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, or alteration. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

10. California Privacy Rights

California privacy laws may provide California residents with rights concerning personal information. The rights that apply depend on the law, the nature of the information, and whether Golden West Pipe & Supply is subject to a particular requirement.

Where applicable, these rights may include:

• the right to know or access information about personal information collected, used, disclosed, sold, or shared;
• the right to request deletion of certain personal information;
• the right to request correction of inaccurate personal information;
• the right to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information, where applicable;
• the right to limit certain uses or disclosures of sensitive personal information, where applicable; and
• the right not to receive discriminatory treatment for exercising applicable privacy rights.

We may need to verify your identity before completing certain requests. Authorized agents may submit requests where permitted by law, but we may require appropriate proof of authorization and identity verification.
