Privacy Policy

At First Performance Contracting Company, we are committed to protecting the privacy of our website visitors and clients. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your personal information.

Comments

When visitors leave comments on our site, we collect the data shown in the comments form, as well as the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent to help detect spam.

An anonymized string (hash) created from your email address may be provided to the Gravatar service to check if you are using it. After your comment is approved, your profile picture becomes visible to the public in the context of your comment.

Media

If you upload images to the website, please avoid uploading images that contain embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors to the website may download and extract location data from these images.

Cookies

If you leave a comment on our website, you may opt-in to saving your name, email address, and website in cookies. This is for your convenience so that you do not have to re-enter your details when leaving another comment. These cookies last for one year.

When you visit our login page, a temporary cookie is set to determine whether your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.

When you log in, we set up several cookies to save your login information and your display preferences. Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies last for one year. If you choose “Remember Me,” your login will persist for two weeks. Logging out will remove the login cookies.

If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be saved in your browser. This cookie contains no personal data and simply indicates the post ID of the article you edited. It expires after one day.

Embedded Content from Other Websites

Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images, articles). Embedded content from other websites behaves exactly as if the visitor had visited those websites directly.

These external websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with their embedded content—particularly if you have an account and are logged in to those websites.

Who We Share Your Data With

If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.

How Long We Retain Your Data

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This allows us to recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically.

For users who register on our website (if applicable), we store the personal information they provide in their user profile. Users can view, edit, or delete their personal information at any time—except for their username, which cannot be changed. Website administrators can also view and edit that information.

Your Rights Over Your Data

If you have an account on this site or have left comments, you can request an exported file containing the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided. You may also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include data we are required to retain for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

Where Your Data Is Sent

Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
