Privacy Policy

​

I hate spam, mystery mailing lists, and companies that treat personal information like a product. I don’t sell your information, and I only collect what I reasonably need to answer your questions, prepare estimates, complete projects, process payments, and run this business.

Last updated: July 28, 2026

​

1. Information I Collect

When you contact me, request an estimate, sign a service agreement, make a payment, or hire me for a project, you may provide information such as:

• Your name

Please do not submit sensitive personal information that I have not specifically requested.

Information Collected Automatically

Like most websites, this site may automatically collect limited technical information through cookies and similar technologies. This may include:

• Your IP address

• Browser and device type

• General location information

• Pages visited

• Referring website

• Date and time of your visit

• How you interact with the website

This information helps me understand how the website is being used and where it could work better.

2. How I Use Your Information

I may use your information to:

• Respond to your questions

• Review and evaluate your project

• Schedule consultations and services

• Prepare estimates and service agreements

• Complete requested work

• Send project, scheduling, payment, or service updates

• Process invoices and payments

• Maintain business and transaction records

• Improve the website and customer experience

• Protect the website and business from misuse or fraud

• Meet legal, tax, insurance, and recordkeeping obligations

3. Calls, Texts, and Emails

If you provide your contact information, I may use it to respond to your inquiry and communicate with you about your project, estimate, appointment, payment, or requested services.

Marketing messages are optional. I will only send promotional emails or texts when you have given permission. You can unsubscribe from emails or withdraw your permission at any time.

Submitting a contact form does not automatically add you to a marketing list.

4. How Information May Be Shared

I do not sell or rent your personal information.

I may share limited information with service providers that help me operate the website or business. Depending on the service you use, these may include:

• Website hosting and form providers

• Email and communication services

• Scheduling and business-management tools

• Payment processors

• Accounting, insurance, or professional advisers

• Financing platforms you choose to visit or use

These services receive only the information reasonably necessary to perform their functions and handle information according to their own terms and privacy practices.

I may also disclose information when reasonably necessary to comply with the law, respond to a valid legal request, protect someone’s safety, prevent fraud, or protect my legal rights.

5. Payments

Payments may be processed through independent third-party payment providers. Payment information submitted through those services is handled according to the provider’s privacy and security practices.

I do not intentionally collect or store complete payment-card information through the general contact form.

6. Financing

Financing options may be made available through Acorn Finance and its participating lenders. Acorn Finance is an independent third-party platform.

If you choose to check financing offers, the information you provide through that process is submitted directly to Acorn Finance or the applicable lender and is governed by their privacy policies and terms. The Caffeinated Craftsman does not make lending decisions or control how a lender evaluates an application.

Review the applicable financing provider’s policies before submitting financial information.

7. Cookies

This website may use essential, functional, and analytical cookies.

Some cookies help the website work properly. Others may help measure traffic, remember preferences, or show how visitors use the site.

Your browser may allow you to block or delete cookies. Disabling certain cookies may affect how parts of the website function.

8. How Long I Keep Information

I keep personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary to:

• Respond to your request

• Complete and document a project

• Maintain business, insurance, warranty, tax, and payment records

• Resolve disputes

• Meet legal obligations

Retention periods may vary depending on the type of information and why it was collected.

9. Protecting Your Information

I take reasonable steps to protect personal information from unauthorized access, loss, misuse, or disclosure.

No website, email system, or online storage method can be guaranteed completely secure. Please use care when deciding what information to send electronically.

10. Your Choices

You may contact me to:

• Ask what personal information I have about you

• Correct inaccurate information

• Request deletion of information that I am not legally or operationally required to keep

• Update your communication preferences

• Withdraw permission for optional marketing messages

I may need to verify your identity before completing certain requests.

11. Children’s Privacy

This website and my services are intended for adults. I do not knowingly collect personal information directly from children under 13.

If you believe a child has submitted personal information through this website, please contact me so I can review and remove it when appropriate.

12. Third-Party Websites

This website may contain links to services or websites I do not own or control, including payment and financing platforms.

Their privacy policies and practices apply once you leave this website. I encourage you to review those policies before submitting personal or financial information.

I may update this Privacy Policy when the website, services, or legal requirements change. The latest version will be posted here with a revised “Last updated” date.
