Privacy Policy

Last updated: October 27, 2026

1. Who we are

ATR Welding, Inc., CSLB #1037852, based in Hayward, CA. We provide welding, metal fabrication, and installation services. You can reach us at (510) 363-2490 or Lee@atrwelding.com.

2. What this website collects automatically

Cookies and similar technologies. Google Analytics 4 may use first-party cookies or similar identifiers to distinguish visits and understand site usage. Jotform may also use its own cookies when you interact with the chat assistant or quote-request form. You can manage or block cookies through your browser settings; blocking them may affect some site features or measurement.

Google Analytics 4. We use Google Analytics 4 to understand aggregate site usage, including page views, browser/device information, interactions such as phone and email link clicks, and successful quote-form submissions when Jotform reports completion to the page. Google may process technical identifiers and approximate location information to provide these reports. This implementation adds no advertising tags; it uses GA4 for site measurement. See Google’s privacy policy for details.

Mostly no third-party fonts. Our own typefaces are served from our own domain, not a font CDN. The Jotform chat widget and quote form load one font from Jotform’s own CDN so they render correctly — the only third-party font request anywhere on this site.

Server logs. The site is hosted on Cloudflare Pages. Like any web host, Cloudflare processes standard request data — IP address, user agent, requested URL, timestamp — to serve the page and protect against abuse. We do not use those logs for marketing and do not combine them with anything else. Cloudflare’s own handling is governed by its privacy policy.

3. Information you choose to give us

Phone calls and text messages

If you call or text, we keep what you tell us: your name, your number, and notes about the job. We use it to respond to you and to provide the work if you become a client. We do not record calls. If that ever changes, this policy will say so before it starts, and you will be told at the beginning of the call.

The virtual assistant

This site runs a Jotform-hosted AI chat assistant, available on every page, to help answer common questions from ATR Welding, Inc.’s services and policies. Opening it loads a script and an interface from Jotform’s own servers (jotform.com and jotfor.ms). If you type a message to it, that message — and any contact details you choose to include in it — is processed by Jotform and made available to us so we can follow up. We do not use it to build an advertising profile of you. Jotform’s own handling of what it processes is governed by Jotform’s privacy policy. If you would rather not use it, call or text (510) 363-2490 instead — nothing about this site requires the assistant.

The quote-request form

The contact page also embeds a Jotform form so you can request a quote by typing instead of calling. The same Jotform data-handling applies: whatever you enter — name, contact details, a description of the job — is submitted to and processed by Jotform, which makes it available to us. We use it only to respond to your request. As with the assistant, calling or texting works exactly as well if you’d rather not use the form.

Google Maps on the contact page

The map on our contact page does not load until you press the button. Nothing is sent to Google before that. If you do load it, Google receives your IP address and browser information under its own privacy policy. You can view the location in a separate tab instead if you prefer.

4. What we never do

• We do not sell personal information or share it for cross-context behavioural advertising. Google receives site-use data for measurement as described in section 2.
• We do not use advertising pixels, heatmaps or session recording. Google Analytics 4 site measurement is described in section 2.
• We do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 16.

5. How long we keep things

Enquiry details from calls, texts or email: up to 24 months from the last contact, then deleted. Client and job records: for the duration of the job plus the period required for tax and accounting purposes.

6. Your rights in California

Under the California Consumer Privacy Act as amended by the CPRA, California residents have the right to know what personal information we have collected, to request deletion, to request correction, to opt out of sale or sharing for cross-context behavioural advertising (we do neither), to limit use of sensitive personal information (we do not collect any), and not to be discriminated against for exercising any of these.

To exercise any of them, call or text (510) 363-2490 and say so. We will verify that the request is genuinely yours — usually by confirming details only you would know — and respond within 45 days. There is no charge. You may use an authorised agent.

7. Security

The site is served over HTTPS. We keep the number of systems holding your information small, because the most reliable security control available to a business our size is not collecting things in the first place. No method of transmission over the internet is completely secure, and we do not claim otherwise.

8. Changes to this policy

If we add another tool that collects or transmits visitor data, or materially change how analytics, the assistant or the quote form work, we will update this page and the date at the top.

9. Contact

Questions about this policy, or a request under section 6: call or text (510) 363-2490. Or email Lee@atrwelding.com.

This policy describes how this website and business actually operate as of October 27, 2026. It is not legal advice and has not been reviewed by an attorney. California privacy exposure is real and specific to how a business actually operates — have counsel review this before relying on it commercially.
