Privacy policy

Who operates this website

Contractor Rate Lab is the website and service brand. This website is operated by Baja House Investment (the “Operator”). References in this Privacy Policy to “Contractor Rate Lab,” “we,” “us,” “our,” or the “operator” refer to Baja House Investment in its capacity as operator of the website, unless the context requires otherwise.

Information you provide

If you contact the site, submit an email form, subscribe to communications, participate in a survey, or otherwise provide information, the operator and relevant service providers may receive the information you submit, such as your name, email address, message, and related correspondence. Please do not submit sensitive personal information unless it is specifically requested and necessary.

Calculator inputs and local storage

Calculator calculations are designed to be performed in your browser. Calculator inputs and preferences may be stored in browser local storage so values can persist between visits. The operator does not intentionally use calculator fields to collect sensitive personal information. However, third-party scripts present on a page may technically be capable of observing page interactions depending on their implementation, so you should avoid entering confidential, regulated, or highly sensitive information.

Automatically collected technical and usage information

When you use the website, the operator and service providers may automatically process information such as IP address, approximate location derived from IP, device and browser characteristics, operating system, referral and exit pages, requested URLs, timestamps, interaction events, advertising identifiers, cookie or local-storage identifiers, and security or fraud signals.

Web analytics

The website may use first-party or third-party analytics services, including privacy-oriented web analytics, to understand traffic, page performance, referrals, device types, and how visitors interact with the site. Depending on the analytics provider and configuration, these services may use cookies, local storage, IP-derived information, or similar technologies. Analytics information may be aggregated or de-identified where supported.

Advertising

The website may display advertising supplied by advertising networks or partners. Those providers may use cookies, pixels, tags, device identifiers, IP addresses, and similar technologies to deliver, measure, limit, personalize, or report on advertising. Where required by applicable law, non-essential advertising or personalization technologies should be subject to an appropriate consent or opt-out mechanism.

Affiliate tracking

Some links may be affiliate links. Affiliate networks or merchants may place or read cookies, use referral parameters, or otherwise process information to determine whether a visit or purchase should be attributed to this website. Affiliate compensation does not necessarily increase the price paid by the visitor. See the Affiliate & Sponsorship Disclosure for more information.

Email and contact forms

Email and contact forms may be processed by the operator's email, form-hosting, anti-spam, customer-support, or infrastructure providers. Information submitted through a form may be transmitted to and stored by those providers and retained as reasonably necessary to respond, prevent abuse, maintain records, or comply with legal obligations.

Hosting, security, and content delivery

Hosting, DNS, content-delivery, and security providers may process standard network and request information such as IP address, requested URL, request time, browser information, TLS or network metadata, and security signals to deliver the site, detect abuse, mitigate attacks, and maintain service reliability.

Cookies and similar technologies

The website and its service providers may use cookies, local storage, pixels, tags, and similar technologies for essential functionality, preferences, analytics, security, affiliate attribution, and advertising. Browser controls can be used to delete or block many of these technologies, although doing so may affect functionality. Where legally required, the site should provide additional consent or opt-out choices for non-essential technologies.

How information may be used

Information may be used to operate, secure, troubleshoot, and improve the website; calculate and remember user-selected values locally; understand usage and performance; communicate with visitors; prevent fraud and abuse; measure affiliate referrals and advertising; comply with legal obligations; and protect the rights, safety, and integrity of the operator, users, and service providers.

How information may be shared

Information may be shared with vendors and service providers that support hosting, security, analytics, advertising, affiliate programs, email, forms, and other website operations; with professional advisers where appropriate; in connection with a merger, acquisition, financing, or sale of assets; or when reasonably necessary to comply with law, enforce terms, prevent abuse, or protect rights and safety. The operator does not state that personal information is sold for money. Certain advertising or cross-context behavioral advertising activities may nevertheless be treated as a “sale,” “sharing,” or targeted advertising under some privacy laws.

Your privacy choices

You can use browser controls to manage cookies and local storage and may use any consent, opt-out, or privacy-preference controls provided on the website. Where required by applicable law, eligible users may have rights to request access, correction, deletion, portability, restriction, or other actions regarding personal information, and to opt out of certain sale, sharing, targeted advertising, or profiling activities. Requests can be sent using the contact information below. The operator may need to verify a request and may retain information where legally permitted or required.

Global Privacy Control

Where applicable law requires recognition of browser-based opt-out preference signals such as Global Privacy Control (GPC), the operator intends to process supported signals as required for the browser or device sending the signal. Implementation may depend on the advertising, consent-management, and analytics tools configured on the site.

Data retention

Information is retained only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy, including responding to communications, maintaining security and operational records, measuring site performance, meeting contractual or legal obligations, and resolving disputes. Retention periods may vary by data type and service provider.

Data security

Reasonable administrative and technical measures may be used to protect information, but no internet transmission, storage system, or website can be guaranteed completely secure.

International processing

Service providers may process information in the United States or other countries. Privacy protections and government-access rules may differ from those in your jurisdiction.

Children

The website is intended for adults making business-pricing decisions and is not directed to children under 13. The operator does not knowingly seek personal information from children under 13 through the website.

Third-party links and services

The website may link to third-party sites or services. Their privacy practices are governed by their own policies, not this Privacy Policy.

This Privacy Policy may be updated when site practices, vendors, legal requirements, or features change. The effective date below identifies the current version.
