Privacy Policy

Effective Date: July 28, 2026  ♦  Last Updated: July 28, 2026

New England Steel Fabricators, Inc. ("NESF," "we," "us," or "our") respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and protect information when you visit newenglandsteelfabricators.com (the "Website"), contact us, request information, or otherwise interact with us.

This Privacy Policy is a notice of our practices. Where applicable law requires consent, we will request it separately. If you do not want to provide personal information through the Website, you may contact us through another published method.

1. Information We Collect

Information You Provide Directly

We may collect information you voluntarily provide, including name, email address, telephone number, mailing or service address, company name and job title, information submitted through contact or quote forms, project descriptions and file attachments, communications and customer-service messages, and any other information you choose to provide.

Please do not submit Social Security numbers, government identification numbers, account passwords, complete payment-card numbers, precise health information, or similarly sensitive information through general website forms.

Information Collected Automatically

When you visit the Website, we and our service providers may automatically collect Internet Protocol address, browser and device type, operating system, referring and exit pages, pages viewed and links clicked, date, time, and duration of visits, approximate location derived from an IP address, Website performance and diagnostic information, and cookie identifiers and similar technical data. This information may be collected through cookies, pixels, tags, local storage, log files, and similar technologies.

Information From Other Sources

We may receive information from analytics and advertising providers, referral partners, and publicly available sources.

2. How We Use Information

We may use information to operate, maintain, and improve the Website; respond to quote requests, inquiries, and project questions; provide customer support; send administrative confirmations and service notices; send marketing communications where permitted by law; measure Website traffic and engagement; detect and prevent fraud and unlawful activity; comply with legal, regulatory, and tax obligations; establish, exercise, or defend legal claims; and complete mergers, acquisitions, or asset transfers.

3. Cookies and Similar Technologies

The Website may use cookies and similar technologies to support essential functions, understand Website performance, and improve user experience. Cookie types may include essential cookies (security, forms, navigation), preference cookies (settings and selections), analytics cookies (traffic and usage), and advertising cookies (campaign measurement and remarketing). You can control cookies through your browser settings. Blocking cookies may affect Website functionality.

Because there is not a uniform industry response to browser-based "Do Not Track" signals, the Website may not respond to them. Where legally required, we will process supported universal opt-out preference signals, such as Global Privacy Control, for the browser or device that sends the signal.

4. Analytics and Advertising

We may use third-party analytics services such as Google Analytics to measure Website traffic and engagement. These services may use cookies or similar technologies. You may manage preferences through your browser, device settings, or applicable provider opt-out tools.

5. How We Disclose Information

Service Providers

We may disclose information to vendors that perform services for us, including website hosting and maintenance, form processing, analytics, email delivery, security, data storage, and technical support. These providers process information only as needed to perform services, subject to applicable law and their agreements. Our website developer and marketing provider, 207 Marketing, may access Website data as a service provider when reasonably necessary to host, maintain, troubleshoot, or support the Website.

Business Partners

We may disclose information to referral partners, subcontractors, or other business partners when reasonably necessary to respond to a request or provide a service.

Legal and Safety Reasons

We may disclose information when required by law, court order, or to protect the rights, property, safety, or security of our business, customers, or others, or to detect, prevent, or investigate fraud, abuse, or unlawful activity.

Business Transactions

Information may be transferred as part of a merger, acquisition, financing, restructuring, or sale of business assets.

We do not sell personal information for money. Certain advertising or analytics activities may be considered a "sale" or "sharing" under some state privacy laws. Where those laws apply, eligible individuals may have the right to opt out.

6. Data Retention

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, including responding to inquiries, providing services, maintaining business records, resolving disputes, enforcing agreements, and satisfying legal, tax, accounting, and security obligations. Retention periods vary based on the type of information and applicable law. We may retain aggregated or deidentified information that cannot reasonably be linked to an individual.

7. Data Security

We use administrative, technical, and physical safeguards that we consider reasonable and appropriate for our operations, which may include access restrictions, secure hosting, encrypted transmission, software maintenance, backups, and monitoring. No website or electronic transmission is completely secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security, and you provide information electronically at your own risk.

8. Your Privacy Choices

Depending on your location and applicable law, you may have the right to request access to, correction of, or deletion of personal information we hold; request a portable copy of certain personal information; opt out of certain sales, sharing, or targeted advertising; withdraw consent where processing is based on consent; and receive equal service without unlawful discrimination for exercising these rights.

These rights are not absolute. To submit a privacy request, contact us using the information in Section 17 below. Please include your name, contact information, state of residence, and a clear description of your request.

9. Marketing Communications

You may unsubscribe from promotional emails by using the unsubscribe link in the message or by contacting us. You may still receive nonpromotional communications related to transactions, services, or legal notices. Consent to receive automated marketing calls or texts is not a condition of purchasing goods or services.

10. Third-Party Websites

The Website may link to or include content from third-party websites, maps, social networks, or other services. Their privacy practices are governed by their own policies, not this Privacy Policy.

11. Children's Privacy

The Website is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided information through the Website, please contact us so we can review and delete it.

12. Users Outside the United States

The Website is operated from the United States. If you access the Website from another country, your information may be transferred to, processed in, and stored in the United States or other jurisdictions where our service providers operate. Privacy laws in those jurisdictions may differ from your home jurisdiction.

13. State-Specific Privacy Disclosures

Certain U.S. state privacy laws apply to businesses that meet defined thresholds. If an applicable law covers us, residents of that state may exercise available rights as described in Section 8. Categories of personal information we may collect include identifiers, customer records, commercial information, internet or electronic activity, approximate geolocation, professional information, and inferences derived from other information. As of the Last Updated date, Maine does not have a generally applicable comprehensive consumer privacy statute in force for ordinary local service businesses.

We do not knowingly sell or share for targeted or cross-context behavioral advertising the personal information of individuals under 16.

14. Accessibility of This Notice

If you have difficulty accessing this Privacy Policy or submitting a privacy request, contact us using the information in Section 17 and tell us the communication format that would be useful. We will make reasonable, good-faith efforts to provide an accessible alternative. See also our Accessibility Statement.

15. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy periodically. The revised policy will be posted on this page with an updated "Last Updated" date. Your continued use of the Website after an update is subject to the revised Privacy Policy.

16. Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control

We recognize and honor the Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal. When we receive a GPC signal from your browser, we treat it as a request to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information and of targeted advertising for that browser, and we apply it to your account if you are signed in. We do not respond to Do Not Track browser signals, because no common industry standard for interpreting them has been adopted. We do honor the Global Privacy Control signal as described above.
