General Fence Contractors Inc. (“we,” “us,” or “our”) respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, how we protect it, and the choices you have. It applies to generalfencecontractors.com, to our text messaging program, and to information we collect when you contact us or hire us for work.
1. Who We Are
- Business name: General Fence Contractors Inc.
- Address: Modesto, California
- Phone: 209-542-0730
- Email: job@generalfencecontractors.com
- CSLB License: #1156904
2. What to Expect From Our Text Messages
We use text messaging to communicate with customers about quotes and estimates — confirming we received your request, sending or following up on a written estimate, asking for details or photos we need to price your job, and answering your questions about a quote. These are customer-service and transactional messages. We do not send marketing or promotional text messages.
Message frequency varies and depends on your request; most customers receive only a few messages while their quote or project is active. Message and data rates may apply. You provide consent by giving us your mobile number — on our quote or contact form, over the phone, or by texting us first — and consent is never a condition of purchasing our goods or services. Full messaging terms are in our Terms of Service.
3. Information We Collect
We collect only what we need to quote and complete your work:
- Contact information: your name, phone number, email address, and the property or service address.
- Project information: details about the fence or gate you want, measurements, site conditions, photos you send us, and the quotes, estimates and service history associated with your account.
- Communications: the content of form submissions, emails, text messages and call notes.
- Payment information: billing details and payment records. Card payments are processed by our payment processor; we do not store full card numbers on our systems.
- Website information: standard technical data such as IP address, browser type, pages visited and referring page, collected through our website and analytics tools.
We do not knowingly collect information from children under 13.
4. How We Use Your Information
We use your information to:
- prepare and send quotes and estimates, and follow up on them;
- schedule measurements, installations and repairs;
- communicate with you by phone, email and text about your request or project;
- order custom-built materials and coordinate installation;
- send invoices and process payments;
- provide warranty and customer support;
- keep business records and comply with our legal and licensing obligations;
- maintain and improve our website and services.
We do not sell your personal information.
5. How We Store and Protect Your Data
We store customer information in secure, password-protected business systems, limit access to the owners and staff who need it to do their jobs, and use industry-standard safeguards including encrypted connections for our website and payment processing. We keep information only as long as we need it for the purposes described above or as required by law. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.
6. Whether We Share Information
We share personal information only in these limited situations:
- Service providers: companies that help us run the business — such as our field-service and quoting software, payment processor, email and website hosting providers, and installation subcontractors who need the job address and project details to complete your work. They may use the information only to provide services to us.
- Legal reasons: when required by law, subpoena, or to protect our rights, property, or safety, or that of our customers.
- Business transfer: in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of the business, subject to this Policy.
No mobile information will be shared with third parties or affiliates for marketing or promotional purposes. Information sharing with subcontractors that provide support services, such as customer service, is permitted. All other use-case categories exclude text messaging originator opt-in data and consent; this information will not be shared with any third parties.
7. Your Rights and Choices
You may contact us at any time to review, update, correct or request deletion of the personal information we hold about you, or to ask us to stop contacting you. Call 209-542-0730 or email job@generalfencecontractors.com. We may need to keep certain records to meet legal, tax, warranty or licensing requirements.
If you are a California resident, the California Consumer Privacy Act may give you the right to know what personal information we collect, to request deletion or correction, and to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information — we do not sell or share personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising. We will not discriminate against you for exercising these rights. Use the contact details above to make a request.
8. Opting Out and Getting Help
To stop receiving text messages from us, reply STOP to any message. We will send one confirmation message and will not text you again unless you opt back in. To rejoin, reply START or ask us to start texting you again.
For help, reply HELP to any message, or contact us at 209-542-0730 or job@generalfencecontractors.com, Monday – Saturday, 7:00am – 6:00pm Pacific.
To stop emails, use the unsubscribe link in any email or contact us directly.
