2.1 Data storage & hosting

Evolution Wood Design is based in California and our website is hosted on third-party servers. Our hosting provider uses industry-standard security measures and complies with applicable data-protection laws to help keep your information safe. The provider acts as a data processor on our behalf and processes your data only according to our instructions.

If you create an account on our website (where available), we store the username you choose, your email address, and any other details you add to your user profile.
You can view and edit most of this information at any time by logging in to your account (your username may not be changeable). Website administrators can also access and update this information when necessary for site administration or support.

If you request a quote, book a consultation, or purchase services through the website, we may collect information such as your name, contact details, project address, and service details.

We use this information only to respond to your request, provide support, and improve our services.

2.5 Comments

If the website allows comments and you leave a comment, we collect the data shown in the comment form, as well as your IP address and browser user-agent string. This helps us detect and prevent spam and abuse.

We may use website analytics tools (such as Google Analytics) to understand how visitors use our site. These tools collect information such as the pages you visit, how long you stay, your approximate location, device type, and browser information.
Analytics data is processed in an anonymised or aggregated form wherever possible and is used only to improve the performance, content, and usability of the website. If you wish, you can opt out of Google Analytics by using the official browser add-on provided by Google.

5. Who Has Access To Your Data

If you are not a registered client for our site, there is no personal information we can retain or view regarding yourself.

If you are a client with a registered account, your personal information can be accessed by:

  • Our system administrators.
  • Our supporters when they (in order to provide support) need to get the information about the client accounts and access.
7. How Long We Retain Your Data For

When you submit a support ticket or a comment, its metadata is retained until (if) you tell us to remove it. We use this data so that we can recognize you and approve your comments automatically instead of holding them for moderation.

If you register on our website, we also store the personal information you provide in your user profile. You can see, edit, or delete your personal information at any time (except changing your username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.

8. Security Measures

We use the SSL/HTTPS protocol throughout our site. This encrypts our user communications with the servers so that personally identifiable information is not captured/hijacked by third parties without authorization.

In case of a data breach, system administrators will immediately take all needed steps to ensure system integrity, will contact affected users and will attempt to reset passwords if needed.
