1. INFORMATION THIS POLICY COVERS
This Privacy Policy applies to information collected through:
The Black Harbor BD website
Project inquiry and quote forms
Advertising or lead-generation forms
Communications relating to a project inquiry
Documents or files voluntarily submitted to us
This Policy does not replace the privacy or confidentiality provisions contained in a separate construction contract, design agreement, financing agreement, or other project-specific agreement.
2. PERSONAL INFORMATION WE MAY COLLECT
Depending on how you interact with us, we may collect:
Contact Information
Name, email address, telephone number, mailing or business address, and other contact details.
Project Information
Project location or address, project type, requested services, estimated budget, anticipated timing, property information, project requirements, and other information you voluntarily provide.
Design & Construction Information
Architectural drawings, floor plans, photographs, specifications, site information, design concepts, documents, and other materials submitted for project evaluation.
Business Information
Company name, role, business details, and information relevant to a commercial or development inquiry.
Communication Information
Information contained in emails, messages, consultation requests, and other communications.
Technical Information
Where applicable, information automatically collected when you use the website may include IP address, browser type, device information, pages viewed, referring website, approximate location, access times, and website interaction data. Only technical information actually collected by the website's current technology stack should be included in the final implementation.
3. INFORMATION FROM PROJECT INQUIRIES
Information submitted through a Black Harbor BD construction inquiry may be used to:
Review the project and determine whether it is a suitable fit
Contact you regarding the requested services
Prepare or discuss preliminary project information
Coordinate appropriate project professionals when necessary
Maintain records relating to the inquiry
Providing information does not guarantee that Black Harbor BD will accept, price, finance, or perform the project.
4. CONSTRUCTION INQUIRIES
Information submitted for a construction, renovation, restoration, design-build, or project-management inquiry is primarily used to evaluate and communicate regarding the requested project. Where necessary and appropriate, project information may be shared with professionals or service providers involved in evaluating or planning the project, including:
Contractors or subcontractors
Material or specialty suppliers
Such sharing should be limited to information reasonably necessary for the applicable project purpose and subject to the relationships and agreements governing that project.
5. ARCHITECTS, ENGINEERS & DESIGN PROFESSIONALS
Black Harbor BD may coordinate with the client's architect or other qualified professionals selected for a project. Information may be shared with an architect, engineer, designer, consultant, or other professional when reasonably necessary to evaluate or coordinate a project. Black Harbor BD does not represent third-party professionals as employees merely because it coordinates with them. Each professional remains responsible for services within that professional's role and applicable licensing requirements.
6. FINANCING INQUIRIES
Black Harbor BD is a construction and general contracting business and is not represented through this Privacy Policy as a mortgage lender. When a visitor asks about financing, information may be used to respond to that inquiry and, where applicable, facilitate an introduction or referral to a financing source. Unless otherwise authorized or required by law, Black Harbor BD should not provide a person's project or personal information to a lender solely because the person submitted a general construction inquiry. When a financing referral is requested, information may be shared with the applicable financing provider or referral partner to the extent necessary to respond to the request. Financing decisions are made independently by the applicable lender or financing provider.
7. BLACK HARBOR GROUP REFERRALS
Black Harbor Group is a separate business platform from Black Harbor BD. Where a visitor expressly requests information relating to institutional capital, private investment, development financing, or another service handled through Black Harbor Group, information may be referred to or shared with that organization for the purpose of responding to the request. A construction inquiry should not automatically be treated as an institutional investment inquiry. The applicable entity and relationship should be identified to the visitor where a referral occurs.
8. ADVERTISING & LEAD-GENERATION FORMS
Black Harbor BD may receive inquiries through third-party advertising or lead-generation platforms. Information submitted through those platforms may be transferred to Black Harbor BD and may also be subject to the platform's own privacy policy.
Where applicable, information may be used to:
Respond to the submitted inquiry
Communicate with the person who submitted the form
Measure advertising performance
Improve lead-generation activities
9. COOKIES & SIMILAR TECHNOLOGIES
The website may use cookies, pixels, tags, scripts, local storage, or similar technologies where enabled.
These technologies may be used for:
Essential website functionality
Understanding website usage
Essential Technologies
Technologies required for core website operation may operate without optional marketing consent where legally permitted.
Analytics & Advertising Technologies
Non-essential analytics, advertising, or tracking technologies should be activated only in accordance with applicable law and the site's cookie-consent configuration. The exact technologies and providers should be identified from the live website implementation before publication. If consent is legally required, Black Harbor BD should provide a functional cookie-consent mechanism that allows visitors to accept, reject, or manage non-essential tracking.
10. ANALYTICS
Where analytics tools are installed, they may collect information regarding how visitors use the website, including pages visited, traffic sources, device information, and interaction patterns. Analytics providers may process information according to their own privacy terms. Black Harbor BD should identify the actual analytics provider or providers in this Policy once the website technology audit has been completed.
11. ADVERTISING PIXELS & TRACKING
Where advertising pixels or similar technologies are installed, they may be used to measure advertising performance, understand website interactions, create or evaluate audiences, or support remarketing. Any such technology should be disclosed based on the actual implementation. Where applicable law requires consent before non-essential tracking occurs, the site's consent system should prevent such technologies from loading until the required consent is obtained.
12. FORMS & FORM-PROCESSING PROVIDERS
Information entered into Black Harbor BD forms may be processed through the website's hosting, form-processing, email, CRM, or related technology providers. These providers may process submitted information solely as necessary to provide their contracted services. The final published Policy should identify the actual providers used by the website once verified.
13. CRM & BUSINESS SYSTEMS
Where inquiry information is transferred into a customer relationship management system, project-management system, email system, or other business platform, the information may be used to organize inquiries, communicate with prospective clients, maintain project records, and manage business relationships. Only systems actually used by Black Harbor BD should be identified by name.
14. FILE UPLOADS & PROJECT DOCUMENTS
Visitors and prospective clients may voluntarily submit files such as:
Other supporting materials
Submitted files may contain personal, confidential, proprietary, or security-sensitive information. Black Harbor BD may use those materials to evaluate, discuss, plan, or perform the related project. Do not submit highly sensitive information through a public website form unless specifically requested through an appropriate secure channel.
15. CONFIDENTIAL PROJECT INFORMATION
Black Harbor BD recognizes that luxury residential projects may involve confidential information concerning private properties, occupants, security systems, architectural plans, personal possessions, schedules, and other sensitive matters. Information identified as confidential will be handled according to applicable agreements and legitimate business requirements. Website submission does not by itself create a contractual confidentiality obligation beyond rights and protections provided by applicable law or a separate agreement.
16. HOW WE SHARE INFORMATION
Black Harbor BD does not sell personal information.
Information may be shared where reasonably necessary with:
Service providers supporting website operations
Technology and hosting providers
Advertising or lead-generation platforms
Interior or landscape professionals
Contractors or subcontractors
Material or specialty suppliers
Financing providers when a financing referral is requested
Black Harbor Group when a visitor requests a referral to that organization
Government or legal authorities where required
We aim to limit disclosure to information reasonably necessary for the applicable purpose.
17. DATA RETENTION
Black Harbor BD retains information for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, including responding to inquiries, evaluating prospective projects, maintaining business records, satisfying legal or contractual obligations, resolving disputes, and protecting legitimate business interests.
Retention periods may vary depending on:
Whether an inquiry becomes a project
Accounting and recordkeeping requirements
Security and dispute considerations
18. DATA SECURITY
Black Harbor BD takes reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures appropriate to the information and systems used to protect personal information against unauthorized access, misuse, alteration, loss, or disclosure. However, no website, electronic transmission, cloud platform, or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure. We therefore do not promise absolute security. Security practices may vary depending on the technology provider, communication method, file type, and information involved.
19. THIRD-PARTY SERVICES
Third-party websites, applications, advertising platforms, financing providers, professional service providers, and other external services may have their own privacy policies. Black Harbor BD is not responsible for privacy practices outside its control. Visitors should review the applicable third party's privacy policy before submitting information through that service.
20. CHILDREN'S PRIVACY
The Black Harbor BD website is intended for adults and is not directed toward children under 13. We do not knowingly seek or intentionally collect personal information from children under 13. If a parent or guardian believes a child has provided personal information to us, they may contact us using the information below so the information can be reviewed and, where appropriate, deleted.
21. YOUR PRIVACY RIGHTS
Depending on applicable law and your location, you may have rights regarding personal information we maintain about you, which may include:
Objection or restriction of certain processing
Withdrawal of consent where applicable
Other rights provided by applicable privacy law
Not every right applies in every circumstance.
22. MARKETING COMMUNICATIONS
Where Black Harbor BD sends marketing communications, recipients may request that we stop sending those communications. Operational communications relating to an inquiry, contract, project, security issue, or legal obligation may continue where permitted.
23. PRIVACY REQUEST VERIFICATION
To protect personal information, Black Harbor BD may need to verify the identity of a person submitting a privacy request. Verification may include requesting information that reasonably matches information already associated with the request. We may decline or limit a request where identity cannot reasonably be verified or where an applicable legal exception applies.
24. HOW TO SUBMIT A PRIVACY REQUEST
Privacy requests may be sent to:
Email: Blackharborbd@gmail.com
Subject: Privacy Request
Please identify:
Email address used in the inquiry, where applicable
Relevant project or inquiry, if applicable
Any additional information needed to locate the applicable record
We will review and respond within the period required by applicable law.
25. DO NOT TRACK
Some browsers offer a “Do Not Track” setting. Because browser implementation and legal requirements vary, the website's response to such signals will depend on the technologies actually deployed and applicable law.
26. INTERNATIONAL VISITORS
Black Harbor BD primarily operates in the United States. Visitors accessing the website from other jurisdictions should understand that personal information may be processed in the United States or other locations where our service providers operate, subject to applicable legal requirements.
27. POLICY CHANGES
Black Harbor BD may update this Privacy Policy when its data practices, technology, business relationships, or legal obligations change. When material changes are made, the Effective Date at the top of this Policy will be updated. Where legally required, additional notice or consent will be provided.

IMPORTANT NOTICE
This Privacy Policy describes website and inquiry data practices. It does not replace the terms of a signed construction agreement, design agreement, financing agreement, or other project-specific contract. Where a separate agreement contains additional privacy, confidentiality, security, or data-processing provisions, those provisions may also apply to the applicable project relationship.
