Summary: Arizona Cost Estimating collects only the information needed to answer inquiries, prepare quotes and deliver construction estimates. Project drawings and pricing are kept confidential, never shared with other bidders and deleted on request. We do not sell personal information, and you can contact us at any time to access, correct or delete it.
1. Introduction and Who We Are

Arizona Cost Estimating is located at 413 W Osborn Rd, Phoenix, AZ 85013. You can contact us at any time about this policy by email at ask@arizonacostestimating.com or by phone at 1 (928) 406 4646.

- Contact details: your name, company name, job title, email address, phone number and mailing or project address.
- Project information: project names, locations, scopes, bid dates, budgets and any notes you share with us.
- Project documents: drawings, plans, specifications, addenda, geotechnical reports, photos, models and other files you upload or send (“Project Documents”).
- Business and billing details: billing contact, invoicing address and payment-related information needed to process payments. Card and bank details are handled by our payment processors, not stored on our Website.
- Communications: the content of emails, calls, form submissions, reviews and other messages you send us.
Information collected automatically
- Device and usage data: IP address, browser type, device type, operating system, pages viewed, time spent, referring pages and approximate location derived from your IP address.
- Cookies and similar technologies: small files and scripts used to keep the Website working, remember preferences and measure performance. See Section 6.
Information from other sources
We may receive business contact information from bid platforms, referral partners, public business directories or advertising and analytics providers. We combine it with information you provide only for the purposes described in this policy.
3. How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect to:
- Respond to inquiries, prepare quotes and deliver estimates, takeoffs and related Services;
- Review Project Documents, communicate about scope and send deliverables and revisions;
- Invoice, collect payment and keep business and tax records;
- Operate, secure, maintain and improve the Website and our Services;
- Understand how visitors use the Website so we can improve content and usability;
- Send service updates and, where permitted, occasional marketing messages you can opt out of at any time;
- Detect, prevent and respond to fraud, abuse, security incidents and legal claims; and
- Comply with applicable laws, regulations and lawful requests.
We do not use Project Documents for marketing, and we do not use them to train software or share them with other clients or bidders.
4. Confidentiality of Project Documents
We understand that drawings, specifications and pricing are commercially sensitive. For that reason:
- Project Documents are accessed only by personnel and contractors who need them to deliver your Services and who are bound by confidentiality obligations;
- We never share your drawings, quantities or pricing with competing bidders or unrelated third parties;
- We will sign a reasonable non-disclosure agreement (NDA) on request before you send documents;
- You may ask us to delete Project Documents and deliverables after your project is complete, subject to any records we must keep by law; and
- Estimates we prepare for you remain confidential unless you choose to share them.
5. Legal Bases for Processing
Where laws such as the EU or UK General Data Protection Regulation apply, we process personal information on the following bases: to perform a contract with you or take steps at your request before entering into one; for our legitimate interests in operating and improving our business, provided those interests are not overridden by your rights; to comply with legal obligations; and with your consent, where consent is required, such as for certain cookies or marketing messages. You may withdraw consent at any time.
6. Cookies and Similar Technologies
We use cookies and similar technologies for the following purposes:
- Essential: required for the Website to function, such as security and form submission.
- Preferences: remember choices such as cookie consent settings.
- Analytics: help us understand how visitors use the Website, for example through Google Analytics.
- Advertising: if used, measure the performance of our ads on platforms such as Google Ads.
You can control cookies through your browser settings and, where available, our cookie banner. Blocking some cookies may affect how the Website works. More detail is available in our Cookie Policy.
7. How We Share Information
We do not sell your personal information, and we do not share it for cross-context behavioral advertising in exchange for money. We share information only as follows:
- Service providers: companies that host the Website, provide email, file storage, analytics, customer communication, accounting and payment processing, acting on our instructions and under confidentiality obligations;
- Professional advisers: accountants, lawyers and insurers where needed to run our business;
- Legal requirements: when required by law, subpoena or court order, or to protect our rights, property or safety and those of others;
- Business transfers: in connection with a merger, acquisition or sale of assets, subject to this policy; and
- With your direction: when you ask us to send an estimate or information to a third party, such as an owner, lender or partner.
8. How Long We Keep Information
We keep personal information only as long as needed for the purposes in this policy. Inquiries that do not become projects are generally deleted or anonymized within 24 months. Project records, estimates and invoices are generally kept for up to seven years to meet tax, accounting and legal requirements. Project Documents may be deleted sooner at your request once a project is complete, unless we must keep them to resolve a dispute or comply with law.
9. How We Protect Information
We use reasonable administrative, technical and physical safeguards to protect information, including encrypted (HTTPS) connections, access controls, secure cloud storage with restricted permissions and staff confidentiality obligations. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security. If we learn of a security incident that affects your personal information, we will notify you as required by applicable law, including Arizona’s data breach notification statute.
10. Your Privacy Rights and Choices
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to:
- Request access to the personal information we hold about you;
- Request correction of inaccurate information;
- Request deletion of your information, subject to legal exceptions;
- Request a copy of your information in a portable format;
- Opt out of marketing emails using the unsubscribe link or by contacting us; and
- Opt out of targeted advertising, where applicable under state law.
Residents of states with comprehensive consumer privacy laws, such as California, may have additional rights, including the right to know what categories of information are collected and the right not to be discriminated against for exercising privacy rights. To make a request, email ask@arizonacostestimating.com with the subject line “Privacy Request.” We will verify your identity before acting and respond within the time required by applicable law. You may use an authorized agent where the law permits.
11. Global Privacy Control and Do Not Track
Where required by law, we treat a Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal from your browser as a request to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information for that browser. There is no common industry standard for “Do Not Track” signals, so the Website does not currently respond to them differently.
12. Email, Phone and Text Communications
If you contact us or request a quote, we may reply by email, phone or, with your permission, text message. Marketing emails include an unsubscribe link. You can reply STOP to any text message to opt out. Consent to receive marketing messages is never a condition of purchasing our Services. Message and data rates may apply.
13. Children's Privacy
The Website and Services are intended for businesses and adults. They are not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided information to us, contact us and we will delete it.
14. Third-Party Websites and Services
The Website may link to third-party websites, maps, file-sharing services and social platforms. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those third parties. We encourage you to review their privacy policies before sharing information with them. The map on our pages is provided by Google, and its use is subject to Google’s terms and privacy policy.
15. Visitors Outside the United States
The Website is operated in the United States. If you access it from outside the United States, your information will be transferred to, stored and processed in the United States, where data protection laws may differ from those in your country.
16. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technology or legal requirements. The updated version will be posted on this page with a new “Last updated” date. If changes are significant, we will provide a more prominent notice.
