Privacy Policy

Last updated: April 2026

1. Introduction

Group Four Engineering & Contracting ("we," "our," or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you visit our website or use our services.

By accessing or using our website, you agree to the terms of this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with our policies and practices, please do not use our website or services.

2. Information We Collect

2.1 Personal Information

We may collect personal information that you voluntarily provide to us when you:

• Fill out our contact forms
• Request a consultation or quote
• Subscribe to our newsletters
• Contact us via email or phone
• Apply for employment opportunities

This information may include your name, email address, phone number, postal address, project details, and any other information you choose to provide.

2.2 Automatically Collected Information

When you visit our website, we may automatically collect certain information about your device and usage, including:

• IP address and browser type
• Device information and operating system
• Pages visited and time spent on our site
• Referring website or search terms
• Geolocation information (city/country level)

3. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect for the following purposes:

• To respond to your inquiries and provide requested services
• To process and manage your construction projects
• To send administrative information and project updates
• To improve our website and customer service
• To send marketing communications (with your consent)
• To comply with legal obligations
• To protect against fraudulent or illegal activity

4. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

This website uses cookies and similar technologies to understand how visitors use the site so that we can improve it. We use Google Analytics 4 for this purpose. We do not use advertising, remarketing, or profiling cookies, and we do not sell or share this data with advertisers.

The first time you visit, a banner asks you to accept or decline analytics cookies. Visitors in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and Switzerland are not measured unless they accept. Elsewhere, analytics runs by default and you may decline at any time; declining stops collection immediately.

Where analytics is active, Google Analytics stores a randomly generated identifier in your browser and records pages viewed, approximate location at city or country level, device and browser type, how you reached the site, and enquiry actions such as tapping a phone, WhatsApp or email link or submitting the enquiry form. It does not record your name, email address, or the content of your message. Google acts as our data processor for this information.

You can change your decision at any time using the "Cookie settings" link in the footer of any page, or by clearing cookies in your browser. Declining analytics does not affect any other part of the website, and the enquiry form works normally either way.

5. Data Sharing and Disclosure

We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information to third parties. We may share your information in the following circumstances:

• Service Providers: With trusted third-party vendors who assist us in operating our website and conducting our business (e.g., hosting providers, email services), subject to confidentiality agreements
• Legal Requirements: When required by law, court order, or governmental authority
• Business Transfers: In connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, with appropriate confidentiality protections
• Project Partners: With architects, engineers, or subcontractors necessary for project execution (with your consent)

6. Data Security

We implement appropriate technical and organizational security measures to protect your personal information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. These measures include:

• SSL/TLS encryption for data transmission
• Secure server environments
• Regular security assessments
• Limited access to personal information on a need-to-know basis
• Regular staff training on data protection

However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your information, we cannot guarantee absolute security.

7. Your Data Protection Rights

Depending on your location, you may have the following rights regarding your personal information:

• Access: Request a copy of the personal information we hold about you
• Correction: Request that we correct inaccurate or incomplete information
• Deletion: Request that we delete your personal information (subject to legal obligations)
• Restriction: Request that we limit the processing of your data
• Portability: Request transfer of your data to another service provider
• Objection: Object to processing for direct marketing purposes
• Withdraw Consent: Withdraw consent for processing where consent is the legal basis

To exercise these rights, please contact us using the information provided in the Contact section below.

8. Data Retention

We retain your personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which we collected it, including satisfying legal, accounting, or reporting requirements. For project-related data, we typically retain records for 7 years in accordance with construction industry standards and legal obligations.

9. Children's Privacy

Our website and services are not directed to individuals under the age of 18. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If we become aware that we have collected personal information from a child under 18 without parental consent, we will take steps to delete that information promptly.

11. Third-Party Links

Our website may contain links to third-party websites, plugins, or services (e.g., social media platforms, Google Maps). This Privacy Policy does not apply to third-party websites, and we are not responsible for their privacy practices. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party sites you visit.
