6. How long do we keep your information?

We retain the personal information collected through contact forms, phone inquiries, and similar leads for as long as we have an ongoing business relationship or legitimate interest in maintaining it — for example, to respond to your inquiry, follow up on a potential engagement, or maintain records of past communications — unless a longer retention period is required by law (such as tax or accounting requirements).

We have implemented appropriate technical and organizational security measures designed to protect the security of any personal information we process. However, despite our safeguards and efforts to secure your information, no electronic transmission over the internet or information storage technology can be guaranteed to be 100% secure, so we cannot promise or guarantee that hackers, cybercriminals, or other unauthorized third parties will not be able to defeat our security and improperly collect, access, steal, or modify your information. Although we will do our best to protect your personal information, transmission of personal information to and from our Website is at your own risk. You should only access the Website within a secure environment.

8. Do we collect information from minors?

We do not knowingly solicit data from or market to children under 18 years of age. By using the Website, you represent that you are at least 18, or that you are the parent or guardian of such a minor and consent to such minor dependent’s use of the Website. If we learn that personal information from users less than 18 years of age has been collected, we will deactivate the account and take reasonable measures to promptly delete such data from our records. If you become aware of any data we may have collected from children under age 18, please contact us at blandinfo@blandlandscaping.com.

9. What are your privacy rights?

You can control the information we collect and use in the following ways:

You will leave this Website for a separately managed online site where you can specify your preferences. We may use more than one third party company for placing this advertising, which would require you to opt out of each company.
  • Google Analytics: Google Analytics is a web analytics service offered by Google that tracks and reports website traffic. Google uses the data collected to track and monitor the use of our Website. This data is shared with other Google services.  Google may use the collected data to contextualize and personalize the ads of its own advertising network. You can opt out of Google Analytics across all websites you use.  To do so, visit this website.  For more information on the privacy practices of Google, please visit the Google Privacy & Terms web page: https://policies.google.com/privacy. 

10. Controls for do-not-track features

Most web browsers and some mobile operating systems and mobile applications include a do-not-track (DNT) feature or setting, as well as Global Privacy Control (GPC), which allow you to signal your privacy preference not to have data about your online browsing activities monitored and collected. We honor these signals. When we detect a DNT or GPC signal from your browser, we will treat it as a request to opt out of non-essential cookies and tracking technologies, consistent with the choices available through our cookie consent banner.

11. Do certain U.S. residents have specific privacy rights?

Certain U.S. states afford residents rights with respect to their Personal Data.  The rights described herein are subject to exemptions under applicable law. For purposes of this section, the term “Personal Data” includes both “Personal Information” and “Personal Data” as defined by applicable law.

If your Personal Data is subject to a privacy law in your state, you may have certain privacy rights with regard to that information. You may have the right to:

  • Know, access, and confirm your Personal Data.
  • Delete the Personal Data we have about you, subject to exceptions under applicable law.

Under certain state laws, you may also have the right not to receive discriminatory treatment for the exercise of any of these privacy rights.  We will not discriminate against you because you have exercised any of your rights.  

Certain state laws may also provide you the right to appeal our decisions regarding your rights requests if we do not timely respond to your requests or do not take action regarding your requests. To appeal our decision with respect to your request, please contact us. Additionally, if you are a resident of the state of California, you may have a right to pursue legal action for improper handling of your Personal Data.

You may only make one request per email. 

We reserve the right to verify your identity in connection with requests regarding Personal Data to help ensure that we provide the information to the individual to whom it pertains or his or her authorized representative. We will compare the information you provide in your request with any information we may have in our possession in order to verify your request. We may also contact you to request additional information in relation to your request. The information you provide must match the information we have in our possession. This measure is in place to help ensure that Personal Data is not disclosed to any person who does not have the right to receive it. The information collected through this process will be used for verification purposes only. We will try to comply with your request as soon as reasonably practicable. Certain state laws may limit the number of times you may make access requests in a 12-month period.

Authorized Agent

Please note that you may authorize an agent to exercise any of these rights on your behalf by contacting us by email at blandinfo@blandlandscaping.com.
