Privacy # Privacy policy How we handle information from this website and project inquiries, and the choices available to you. Last updated October 7, 2026 This policy covers the website and project inquiries handled by Alpine Aerial Photography LLC, based in Boulder, Colorado. Contact us at [contact@alpineaerial.net](mailto:contact@alpineaerial.net) or [720-724-3083](tel:7207243083) with privacy questions. ## Information we receive - **Inquiries and project communications:** your name, email, optional phone number, company, project location, requested service, timing, and the information you include in messages. Please avoid submitting sensitive personal information through quote forms. - **Website operation:** our hosting and form providers receive information needed to deliver the site, process requests, and protect against abuse, such as IP addresses, browser information, request times, and requested URLs. - **Optional analytics:** if you allow Google Analytics, it can process browser and device information, general location information, page visits, and interactions such as quote-button, phone, email, and form activity. Our custom analytics events do not include your name, email, phone number, project address, or message contents. - **External media:** embedded videos load automatically as you browse, and maps load when you select their load button. Their providers receive information about those connections. Each provider's own privacy policy applies to its processing. ## How information is used We use inquiry and project information to respond, evaluate requests, prepare quotes, schedule and provide services, and communicate about projects. We also use contact information for email and text marketing when you separately choose those communications. Website operation information supports delivery, security, and troubleshooting. Optional analytics helps us understand website use and improve the site. Submitting a quote request allows us to respond to that inquiry. Email and text marketing choices are separate, optional, and unchecked by default; declining them does not affect a quote or service. Your marketing choices are also separate from website analytics. You can ask us to stop marketing by emailing us, using an email unsubscribe option, or following the opt-out instructions in a text. See our [messaging terms](https://www.alpineaerial.net/messaging-terms/) for text consent, STOP, HELP, and support details. ## Service providers and disclosures Netlify provides website hosting and form processing. Email and other project service providers may process communications and records for us. Google provides optional Analytics and YouTube video services. Property pages may also include external video or map providers, identified before you load them. Information may be disclosed when needed to provide the services you request, comply with legal obligations, respond to lawful requests, or protect rights and security. Providers may process information outside your state or country. See [Netlify's privacy policy](https://www.netlify.com/privacy/) and [Google's privacy policy](https://policies.google.com/privacy). ## Cookies, storage, and your choices - **Essential storage:** we store your privacy preference in your browser for up to 180 days and use temporary session storage to support quote-form confirmation. Hosting and security providers may also use technologies needed to operate and protect the site. - **Google Analytics:** the Google tag loads only after you allow optional analytics. Analytics may use cookies or identifiers. The site's analytics configuration disables advertising signals and advertising personalization and denies advertising storage and advertising data use. - **Browser privacy signals:** Global Privacy Control or Do Not Track keeps optional analytics off unless you explicitly allow analytics for this site while that signal is present. A new signal takes priority over an older saved choice. Advertising storage, advertising data use, and personalization remain disabled regardless of your analytics choice. You can also use browser settings to block or clear cookies and storage. - **Videos and maps:** embedded videos load automatically as they approach the visible page, and the homepage background video plays automatically on desktop unless your browser requests reduced motion. You can pause the background video using its control. Maps load only when you select their load button. These connections may allow providers to use cookies and collect visit information, independently of your Google Analytics choice. Choosing essential-only disables our optional Analytics, but does not block embedded videos. Leaving the page unloads its media. You can decline analytics and still browse the site and submit inquiries. Changing to essential-only disables analytics, clears accessible Analytics cookies, and reloads the page to remove the Google tag. Clearing browser storage or using another browser may require making your choice again. Google also provides an [Analytics opt-out browser add-on](https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout) and explains [how it uses information from partner sites](https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites). ## Retention and security Our current practice is to retain inquiry and project records indefinitely for quoting, project records, and marketing where you have chosen it. You can request deletion by contacting us; we may need to retain some records to comply with legal obligations or resolve disputes. Opting out of marketing stops marketing use of your contact details but does not automatically delete project records. We may retain a minimal record of your opt-out to avoid contacting you again. Browser preference storage is described above; provider logs and analytics records follow the relevant service settings and retention policies. We use reasonable safeguards for the information we handle. No website or transmission method can guarantee complete security. Please contact us directly before sending information that needs special handling. ## Privacy requests Contact [contact@alpineaerial.net](mailto:contact@alpineaerial.net) to ask about information you submitted, request a correction or deletion, or raise a privacy concern. Depending on applicable law, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or obtain a copy of personal information, and to opt out of certain processing. These rights can have legal exceptions. We may ask for information reasonably needed to verify your identity and locate the relevant records. If we decline a request, you can ask us to review the decision by replying with your reasons or emailing us with the subject "Privacy appeal." You may also contact the [Colorado Attorney General](https://coag.gov/resources/colorado-privacy-act/) about Colorado privacy rights. ## Policy updates We may update this policy when website features, business practices, or requirements change. The date above identifies the latest revision. Material changes to optional processing may require a new choice before that processing begins.
