Information collected automatically

Like most websites, our hosting and form-processing services may automatically collect limited technical data when you visit the site, such as IP address, browser type, device type, referring URL, and general usage logs.

Form Submission Service

Contact form submissions are transmitted through a third-party email delivery service (FormSubmit) so that your message can be delivered to our team. That provider processes the form data on our behalf in order to forward your inquiry. We recommend reviewing their privacy practices if you require additional detail about their handling of submission data.

Cookies and Similar Technologies

This website does not use advertising cookies or third-party marketing trackers. Your browser may store standard session or preference data locally. If we introduce optional analytics or functional cookies in the future, we will update this policy accordingly.

How Long We Keep Information

We retain contact form submissions and related correspondence for as long as needed to respond to your inquiry, manage an active quote or customer relationship, meet record-keeping requirements, and resolve disputes. When information is no longer required, we delete or anonymize it where practicable.

How We Share Information

We may share information only in these situations:

• With service providers that help us operate the website or deliver form submissions
• With Garlast affiliates or personnel involved in responding to your request
• When required by law, regulation, legal process, or governmental request
• To protect the rights, property, or safety of Garlast, our customers, or others
