5. How we share information
We do not sell or rent your personal information. We share it only:
- With service providers who help us operate our business (for example website hosting, email, file storage, payment processing and analytics), under obligations to protect it.
- When required by law, subpoena or other legal process, or to protect our rights, safety or property.

6. Cookies and analytics
The Site uses cookies and similar technologies to keep it working, remember preferences and understand how visitors use it. We may use third-party analytics tools such as Google Analytics, which collect usage information according to their own privacy policies. You can control cookies through your browser settings; disabling some cookies may affect site functionality.
7. Data retention
We keep personal information and project files only as long as needed to provide our services, maintain business records, resolve disputes and meet legal, tax and accounting requirements. When no longer needed, information is deleted or anonymized.
8. Data security
We use reasonable administrative, technical and physical safeguards — including access controls and secure file transfer — to protect your information. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Depending on where you live, you may have additional rights under applicable state privacy laws. To make a request, email Ask@alabamacostestimating.com.
