What Information We Collect

When you fill out a contact form, request a quote, or reach out to one of our salespeople, we may collect:

  • Your name
  • Phone number
  • Email address
  • Property address or general location (if provided)
  • Project details and any other information you choose to share

We collect this information only when you voluntarily provide it. We do not collect sensitive personal information.

We also automatically collect certain information when you visit our website, including general device and browser data, pages visited, and approximate location. This is used for analytics and advertising purposes, including showing relevant ads to past visitors on platforms like Facebook. See the Cookies and Advertising section below for more detail.


How We Use Your Information

We use the information you provide to:

  • Respond to your inquiry or quote request
  • Connect you with the appropriate Gingerich salesperson for your area
  • Follow up on your project by phone or email
  • Send ongoing updates about our services, seasonal promotions, new building options, or other information we think may be relevant to you

Marketing follow-up is a normal part of how we do business. If you've reached out to us, you may hear from us again — and you can always opt out. You can stop receiving marketing communications at any time by replying STOP to any text, clicking unsubscribe in any email, or contacting us directly using the information at the bottom of this page.


Cookies & Advertising

Our website uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to help us understand how visitors use the site, improve your experience, and show relevant advertising to people who have visited our website.

Types of tracking we use:

  • Essential cookies — required for the website to function properly
  • Analytics cookies — help us understand traffic patterns and page performance (Google Analytics)
  • Advertising/retargeting pixels — we use the Meta (Facebook) Pixel on our website. This means that when you visit gingerichstructures.com, Facebook may place a cookie on your browser that allows us to show Gingerich Structures ads to you on Facebook and Instagram after you leave our site. This is called retargeting or remarketing.

What this means in plain terms: If you visit our website and then open Facebook, you may see a Gingerich Structures ad. That's intentional — it's how we stay visible to people who've already shown interest in what we do. We are not sharing your personal contact information with Facebook to make this happen; the pixel works through anonymized browser data.

We may also use your contact information for advertising purposes on other platforms. If you've submitted your name, email address, or phone number to us — through our website, a Facebook lead form, or any other channel — we may upload that information to advertising platforms such as Meta (Facebook/Instagram) to show you relevant ads. This is called a Custom Audience. Your information is encrypted before it's sent and is used only to match you to an existing account on that platform so we can reach you with relevant content. We do not use this to share your information publicly or sell it to anyone.

You can opt out of this type of advertising through your Facebook ad settings at facebook.com/ads/preferences or through the Digital Advertising Alliance's opt-out tool at optout.aboutads.info. You can also control or disable cookies through your browser settings, though this may affect how some parts of the site function.


Third-Party Services

Our website uses the following third-party services, each with their own privacy policies:

  • Google Analytics — website traffic analysis (policies.google.com/privacy)
  • Google Maps — location and mapping features
  • Meta (Facebook) — Facebook Pixel for retargeting advertising; social media links and embedded content (facebook.com/policy)
  • Duda — our website platform

We do not sell your personal information to any of these third parties. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of third-party services linked from our website.


Data Retention

We retain contact form submissions and inquiry information for as long as is reasonably necessary to respond to your request and manage our business relationship. If you would like your information removed from our records, contact us and we will honor that request within a reasonable timeframe.


Children's Privacy

Our website is not directed at children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has submitted personal information through our website, contact us and we will remove it promptly.


Your Rights

You have the right to:

  • Request a copy of the personal information we hold about you
  • Request correction of inaccurate information
  • Request deletion of your information from our records
  • Opt out of marketing communications at any time

To exercise any of these rights, contact us using the information below.


Security

We take reasonable measures to protect the information we collect from unauthorized access, disclosure, or misuse. However, no method of transmission over the internet is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.


Changes to This Policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time. When we do, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page.


Accessibility Statement

Gingerich Structures is committed to making our website accessible and usable for everyone, including people with disabilities. We strive to meet or exceed the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA standards as our benchmark for accessibility.


Our Efforts

We work to ensure our website is:

  • Navigable by keyboard — all pages and interactive elements can be reached without a mouse
  • Compatible with screen readers — text alternatives are provided for non-text content
  • Readable and clear — text is written in plain language and maintains sufficient contrast against backgrounds
  • Resizable — content reflows properly at different text sizes and screen widths
  • Free of content that could cause physical harm — we avoid flashing content that could trigger seizures

We are an ongoing work in progress. As we add new content and features to our site, we continue to review and improve accessibility.


Known Limitations

We are aware that some areas of our website may not yet fully meet accessibility standards. We are actively working to identify and address these gaps. If you encounter a barrier, please let us know — your feedback helps us prioritize improvements.


Third-Party Content

Some content on our site is provided by third parties (such as embedded maps or social media tools) and may not fully conform to accessibility standards. We encourage those vendors to improve their own accessibility practices.


Contact Us

If you experience difficulty accessing any part of our website, or if you have questions or suggestions about our accessibility practices, please reach out. We want to hear from you and will do our best to provide the information you need in an alternative format.
