This Privacy Policy explains how OCD Plan & Build Inc. ("OCD Plan & Build", "we", "us", or "our") — a California-licensed general contractor (CSLB License 1142548) operating from 1900 Powell Street, Suite 600, Emeryville, CA 94608 — collects, uses, and shares personal information when you visit www.ocdplanandbuild.com or interact with our forms, AI chat, and email.
For details on cookies and similar technologies specifically, see our Cookie Policy.
1. Information we collect
We collect the following categories of personal information:
- Identifiers and contact information — name, email, phone number, project address, city/ZIP — when you submit our contact form, request a consultation, or contact us by email/phone.
- Project information — project type, scope, budget range, timeline, and any photos or notes you share with us.
- Chat content — messages you send to our AI chat assistant. These are sent to our AI provider (Anthropic) to generate replies and may be stored for short-term abuse prevention; we do not retain them as a long-term record beyond your session unless you copy them into a contact form or email.
- Internet and device information — IP address, browser type, operating system, referrer URL, pages viewed, time on page, clicks, and approximate location (derived from IP) — collected by our analytics tools when you consent.
- Geolocation — only if you grant browser permission while using a map feature.
- Inferences — basic, aggregated profile information (e.g., interest in residential vs. commercial work) derived from how you interact with the site.
We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 16, and we do not collect special categories of personal information (e.g., health, biometric, racial, or religious data) through this website.
2. How we use your information
We use personal information to:
- Respond to your inquiry, schedule a free site evaluation, and deliver construction services;
- Send project-related communications, schedule updates, invoices, and warranty notices;
- Operate, maintain, secure, and improve the website and our AI chat assistant;
- Measure how visitors find and use the site (analytics);
- With your consent, measure ad performance and reach prospective clients on other platforms (marketing);
- Comply with legal obligations (e.g., contractor licensing, tax, building-permit recordkeeping).
3. Legal bases (EU / UK visitors)
If you are in the EEA, UK, or Switzerland, our legal bases under GDPR / UK GDPR are:
- Performance of a contract — to respond to your project inquiry and deliver services.
- Legitimate interests — operating, securing, and improving the site; preventing fraud and abuse.
- Consent — analytics and marketing cookies; AI chat use.
- Legal obligation — tax, contractor-licensing, and building-permit recordkeeping.
4. Sharing your information
We share personal information only as needed:
- Service providers / processors: Netlify (hosting), PracticPro (CRM and project management), PostHog (analytics), Google (Tag Manager, Maps, Analytics, Ads), Meta (Pixel when active), Anthropic (AI chat). These providers process information on our behalf under written agreements.
- Subcontractors and trade partners: when required to scope, design, permit, or build your project, and only to the extent necessary.
- Government and regulators: building, planning, health, fire, and other agencies when applying for permits or responding to inspections.
- Legal and safety: to comply with the law, enforce our terms, or protect rights, property, or safety.
- Business transfers: in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, with notice to you where required.
We do not sell personal information for money. To the extent that analytics or advertising cookies may constitute "sharing" of personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising under California law, see Section 7 below.
5. Data retention
We keep personal information for as long as needed to provide services, maintain the client and project record, comply with our legal and warranty obligations (typically 7–10 years for project records under California construction law), and resolve disputes. Analytics data is generally retained for up to 14 months in aggregated form. Chat messages are retained only for short-term operational use; we do not maintain a long-term searchable record of chat content.
6. Security
We use HTTPS site-wide, scoped third-party API keys, and reputable processors. No method of online transmission is 100% secure; we cannot guarantee absolute security.
7. California privacy rights (CCPA / CPRA)
California residents have the following rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (as amended by the CPRA):
- Right to know — what categories of personal information we collected, the sources, the purposes, and the categories of third parties with whom we shared it (in the prior 12 months).
- Right to delete personal information, subject to legal exceptions (e.g., active project records, warranty obligations).
- Right to correct inaccurate personal information.
- Right to opt out of sale or sharing for cross-context behavioral advertising. We do not sell for money; opt out of any "sharing" by selecting "Reject all" in our cookie banner, using the Cookie Preferences link, or enabling Global Privacy Control (GPC) — we honor a valid GPC signal as an opt-out.
- Right to limit use of sensitive personal information — we do not use sensitive personal information for purposes that require this option.
- Right to non-discrimination for exercising these rights.
To exercise these rights, email Info@ocdplanandbuild.com or call (510) 910-2256 — we will respond within 45 days. We may need to verify your identity before responding. Authorized agents may submit requests on your behalf with proof of authorization.
8. EU / UK rights (GDPR / UK GDPR)
If you are in the EEA, UK, or Switzerland, you also have the right to:
- Access your personal data and receive a copy in portable format;
- Rectify inaccurate data;
- Erase data ("right to be forgotten") in certain circumstances;
- Restrict or object to processing based on legitimate interests;
- Withdraw consent at any time (without affecting prior lawful processing); and
- Lodge a complaint with your local supervisory authority.
To exercise these rights, contact us at the address above. International transfers of personal data to the United States rely on Standard Contractual Clauses or equivalent safeguards where required.
9. Cookies and tracking
See our Cookie Policy for the full list of cookies, the categories we use, and how to opt in or out. By default, we only set strictly necessary cookies until you opt in to analytics or marketing.
