Privacy Policy
Written from an audit of what this website actually does — not from a template. Last updated 2 September 2026.
The short version
This website sets no cookies, stores nothing in your browser, runs no analytics and carries no advertising or tracking scripts. There is no login, no account, no payment and no mailing list.
Its three forms are handled by Formspree, a form-processing service. What you type into a form is transmitted to them and forwarded to us by email. Nothing is sent until you press submit, and the detail is set out below.
One page — Projects — loads its photographs from an image hosting service; that is the only automatic request to anyone other than our own site, and it is described below. Everything else on every page — fonts, styles, scripts, images — is served from this domain.

This notice covers this website. It does not cover what happens once you become a customer, which is governed by the written proposal and contract for your project.
The only place you give us anything
The forms, and where what you type actually goes
There are three forms: the project enquiry on Get a Quote, the question form on Contact, and a short consultation form near the foot of the homepage.
What each one asks for
- Project enquiry: first name, last name, phone, email, the ZIP code the work would happen in, the type of project, and a description. Optionally a preferred contact method and a rough timescale.
- Contact question: name, email, an optional phone number, and your question.
- Homepage consultation: name, phone, email, a service of interest and any project details.
None of them asks for a street address, a budget, a date of birth, an account number or any financial detail, and none should be used to send documents. There is nothing at enquiry stage that needs them.
What happens when you press submit
The fields listed above are sent to Formspree, a form-handling service, which forwards them to us by email. Formspree is operated by Formspree, Inc. in the United States, so if you are writing from outside the US your enquiry is processed there. They act as a processor for us: they pass the message on and do not use it for their own purposes. Their handling of it is governed by Formspree's privacy policy.
Nothing is transmitted until you press submit. Filling a field, or leaving the page without submitting, sends nothing anywhere. In the ordinary course, Formspree also records the technical details any web request carries — your IP address and browser user-agent — as part of receiving and spam-filtering the submission.
If that service cannot be reached, the form falls back to opening a pre-addressed draft in your own email application, and nothing reaches us until you press send there. The page says which of the two happened rather than showing a "thank you" for a message that never left.
A practical consequence worth knowing either way: your enquiry ends up as an ordinary email in our inbox, subject to our email provider's terms.
If that changes again
If we move to a different form-handling service, this page will be updated to name the new provider before the change goes live — as it was for the one named above.
What we do with an enquiry
We read it, reply to it, and keep it as ordinary business correspondence for as long as it is useful — a record of what was discussed, which matters if a project follows. It is not sold, rented, traded or passed to a marketing company. Nobody gets subscribed to anything either — no such list exists to be added to.
Audited, not assumed
What this site does not do
Each line below was checked against the site's own source before it was written here.
| Technology | Used here? | Detail |
|---|---|---|
| Cookies | No | The site sets none. See the cookie policy. |
| Local or session storage | No | Nothing is written to your browser's storage. |
| Analytics | No | No Google Analytics, no tag manager, no self-hosted analytics. |
| Advertising or tracking pixels | No | No remarketing, conversion or social pixels of any kind. |
| Social media embeds | No | No feeds, share widgets or follow buttons. We publish no social profile links at all. |
| Embedded maps | No | The contact page links out to a map instead of embedding one, precisely so nothing loads unless you choose it. |
| Video or audio embeds | No | No player from any provider appears on any page. |
| Third-party fonts | No | Both typefaces are served from this domain as WOFF2 files. No Google Fonts request is made. |
| Third-party JavaScript | No | One script file, served from this domain. No libraries, no CDN. |
| Accounts or logins | No | There is nothing to sign in to. |
| Payments | No | No payment is taken through this website. |
| Third-party images | Yes — Projects page | Project photography is served by ImageKit. See the section below. |
The exception
Images loaded from another company
The Projects page displays our project photography, which is hosted on ImageKit, an image delivery service, rather than on this domain. Every other image on every other page is served from here.
What that means in practice. When that page loads, your browser makes a request to ImageKit's servers to fetch the pictures. Any such request necessarily reveals your IP address, the page you are on and your browser's user-agent to the company serving the file — that is how the web works, and it is true of every externally hosted image anywhere. We do not receive that information, we cannot see it, and we have no arrangement with them about it.
Why it is done this way. An image service resizes and compresses each photograph for the device asking for it, which is why project photography is served from one. It is the single exception on this site: no fonts, styles, scripts, analytics or advertising are loaded from anywhere else. It would be misleading to tell you the site makes no external request at all, so this section exists.
If you would rather avoid the request, a content blocker will stop it and the page will still work — you will simply see empty image areas where the photographs sit.
Outbound links
The contact page carries a link that opens our address in Google Maps. It is a plain link: nothing loads from Google unless you click it, and once you do you are on their site under their privacy policy rather than ours.
The same applies to any other external link on this site. We do not use link-tracking redirects.
Beyond the page
Hosting and server records
This site is a set of static files — HTML, CSS, images and one script — served by a hosting provider. Like effectively every web server in existence, a host may record technical information about the requests it serves: the IP address making the request, the time, the file requested, the response status and the browser's user-agent string. That kind of logging is a function of how web servers operate and is used for delivery, diagnostics and abuse prevention.
We do not use those records for marketing, we do not build profiles from them, and we do not combine them with anything you send us. We have no analytics layer sitting on top of them, which is why we cannot tell you how many people read any particular page.
Your information
Asking us what we have, and asking us to delete it
Different laws give people different rights over personal information, and which of them apply to you depends on where you live and on facts about our business that this page is not the right place to characterise. So rather than list statutes we would be claiming to satisfy, here is the practical position:
Write to us and we will act on it. If you have sent us an enquiry and you want to know what we hold, want a copy of it, want it corrected, or want it deleted, email jonah@arcooutdoors.com or call 305-951-8862 and say so. We will do it, and we will tell you when it is done. You do not need to cite a law and you do not need a reason.
The one limit is ordinary and worth stating: where an enquiry has become a project, some records may need to be kept as part of the business record of that work.
Children
This site is aimed at homeowners considering building work. It is not directed at children, and we do not knowingly collect information from them. If you believe a child has sent us something, tell us and it will be deleted.
Security
Enquiries reach us as ordinary email, which is not an encrypted channel end to end. That is worth knowing, and it is another reason the forms deliberately do not ask for anything sensitive. We take reasonable care with what we hold, and — as anyone honest will tell you — no method of transmitting or storing information is completely secure.
Changes to this notice
If the site's behaviour changes, this page changes with it, and the date at the top moves. The two changes most likely to require that are connecting the forms to a submission service and removing the last third-party images. Both are described above so you can see them coming.
