Privacy Policy

Last updated: October 20, 2026

This policy explains what information Athens Erosion Control ("we," "us") collects when you use this website or call us, how we use it, and who we share it with.

The short version: we collect only what you send us to request a quote. We use it to respond to your request, and we may pass it to the local contractor who will do the work. We don't sell it, and we don't use it for unrelated marketing.

Information we collect

When you submit the quote form, we collect what you enter:

Your name, phone number and email address
Your area or neighborhood, customer type (homeowner, builder and so on) and the service you need
The approximate size of the job and any message you include
The page you submitted from and the date and time of your submission

When you call us, our phone provider records call details such as your phone number, the time of the call and how long it lasted. We do not record the content of calls.

Automatically: like most websites, our hosting provider may log basic technical information such as your IP address, browser type and the pages you visit, for security and to keep the site running. This site does not use advertising cookies or third-party tracking pixels.

How we use your information

To respond to your request: calling or emailing you back, scheduling a site visit and preparing a quote
To match your request with a qualified local contractor (see below)
To keep a record of requests and improve our service
To prevent spam and abuse of the form
To comply with the law

Who we share it with

Service providers. We may refer your request to an independent erosion control or site contractor serving Athens-Clarke County who will contact you directly about the job. We share only the details needed to respond to your request.

Tools we use. Form submissions are stored in Google Sheets (Google LLC) and sent to us by email. Calls are routed through SignalWire, our phone provider. These companies process information on our behalf under their own privacy terms.

Legal reasons. We may disclose information if required by law or to protect our rights, our customers or the public.

We do not sell your personal information, and we do not share it with third parties for their own marketing.

Calls and texts

By submitting the form, you agree that we, or the contractor handling your request, may contact you at the phone number you provided about your request, including by call or text. Message and data rates may apply. We will not send you marketing messages without your consent. You can ask us to stop contacting you at any time.

How long we keep it

We keep form submissions and call records for as long as we need them to respond to your request and for normal business records, generally no longer than three years, unless the law requires longer.

Your choices

You can ask us to access, correct or delete the information we hold about you, or to stop contacting you. Email us at [EMAIL] or call (706) 240-8540. We will respond within a reasonable time.

Security

We use reasonable measures to protect your information, including access-controlled accounts with our providers. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Children

This website is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect information from children under 13.

Links to other sites

This site links to government resources such as Athens-Clarke County and the Georgia Soil and Water Conservation Commission. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those sites.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. The "Last updated" date at the top shows when it last changed.
