BDA Houston ("BDA Houston," "we," "us," or "our"), a DBA of Vector Fire LLC, respects your privacy and is committed to protecting the personal information you share with us. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your information when you visit our website at bdahouston.com or submit information through our contact forms.

• Phone number
• Company or building name
• Building address or project location
• Your role (for example, general contractor, property manager, or building engineer)

We do not collect personal information automatically through tracking cookies, advertising pixels, or other automated means beyond the privacy-friendly website analytics described under "Analytics" below.

How We Use Your Information

The personal information you provide is used solely for business purposes related to your inquiry. Specifically, we use your information to:

• Respond to your inquiries and contact form submissions
• Match you with independent, licensed BDA/ERRCS contractors and share your request with them so they can follow up and prepare quotes
• Communicate with you about our referral service and your request
• Follow up on referral requests
• Improve our website and the quality of our customer service

Form Processing

Our website contact forms are processed through Formspree, a third-party form-handling service. When you submit a form on our website, your information is transmitted through Formspree's servers and delivered to our business email. Formspree processes your data in accordance with their own privacy policy, which you can review at formspree.io/legal/privacy-policy.

By submitting a form on our website, you acknowledge that your information will be processed through Formspree as described above.

Data Sharing

BDA Houston does not sell, rent, trade, or otherwise share your personal information with third parties for marketing or commercial purposes. Your information is only shared in the following limited circumstances:

• Form processing: As described above, contact form submissions are processed through Formspree to deliver your inquiry to us.
• Referral matching: Because BDA Houston is a referral service, we share the details you submit (such as your name, contact information, building location, and project requested) with one or more independent, licensed BDA/ERRCS contractors so they can contact you and prepare quotes.
• Legal requirements: We may disclose your information if required to do so by law, regulation, or legal process, such as a court order or subpoena.
• Business protection: We may disclose information when we believe it is necessary to protect our rights, your safety, or the safety of others.

Analytics

Our website uses Vercel Web Analytics, a privacy-friendly analytics service, to understand how visitors use our site. Vercel Web Analytics does not use cookies, does not collect personally identifiable information, and does not build advertising profiles. It records aggregated, anonymized information that may include:

• Pages visited and time spent on each page
• Referring website or search engine
• Browser type and device information
• General geographic location (city or region level)

We do not use tracking cookies, retargeting cookies, or any third-party advertising cookies on our website, and we do not build advertising profiles based on your browsing activity.

Data Security

BDA Houston takes reasonable measures to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. These measures include secure form transmission (HTTPS encryption) and limiting access to personal information to authorized personnel only.

While we strive to protect your information, no method of electronic transmission or storage is completely secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security of your data, but we are committed to maintaining industry-standard protections.

Data Retention

We retain personal information submitted through our contact forms for as long as necessary to fulfill the purpose for which it was collected, respond to your inquiry, and maintain records of our business communications.
