Privacy policy

This Privacy Policy explains how Scottish Group Companies ("SGC," "we," "us," or "our") handles information through scottishgroupcompanies.com. It applies to this website and the features operated through it.

Websites operated by our operating companies and independent third parties may maintain their own privacy policies. This policy does not replace the notices provided on those websites.

We may collect information that you voluntarily submit through the website, including through the contact form or by contacting us directly.

Information submitted through the website may be used to:

Contact submissions are processed through a server-side workflow. Resend provides transactional email delivery, and the email address you submit may be used as the Reply-To address so the SGC team can respond.

The form includes reasonable anti-spam, request-throttling, and duplicate-submission protections. These measures support reliable operation without changing the purpose of the information you submit.

Normal website infrastructure may process limited technical information such as an IP address, browser or device information, request timestamps, server logs, and security-related data. This information may be used for site delivery, security, troubleshooting, abuse prevention, and operational reliability.

Third-party media or infrastructure services may use cookies or similar technologies when their resources load or when you interact with them. We do not describe this technical information as being actively profiled for advertising by SGC.

We use service providers and third-party services to operate and present the website. These currently include Vercel for hosting and infrastructure, Resend for transactional email delivery, Cloudinary for media delivery, Google Fonts for typography resources, and YouTube for embedded media where present.

These providers may process limited technical or submission information necessary to deliver their functionality. They operate under their own terms and privacy practices.

At the time this policy was last updated, the website does not intentionally use third-party advertising pixels or behavioral advertising tools identified in our current implementation. The current implementation also does not include a customer account system, on-site payment system, Google Analytics, or Google Tag Manager.

Website services and practices may change. We may update this policy if analytics, advertising, or other tools are introduced in the future.

Information may be shared with relevant SGC personnel; with the appropriate operating company when reasonably necessary to respond to an inquiry; with providers supporting website and email operations; or when required by law, legal process, or the protection of rights, safety, and security.

We do not use the website as a platform for selling personal information.

Information is retained only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, legitimate business needs, dispute resolution, security, and applicable legal or recordkeeping obligations. Retention periods may vary depending on the nature of the inquiry and applicable requirements.

Scottish Group Companies uses reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures intended to protect information handled through the website. No internet transmission or electronic storage system can be guaranteed completely secure.

Depending on where you live, applicable law may provide rights relating to your personal information, which may include rights to request access, correction, deletion, or other actions. Send a request to contact@scottishgroupcompanies.com. We may need to verify a request before taking action.

The website is intended for a general business audience and is not directed to children under 13. If we learn that personal information was submitted by a child in circumstances requiring deletion under applicable law, contact us at the email address above.

The website links to operating-company websites, other third-party sites, and the newsletter site at https://sgcnewsletter.scottishstainedglass.com. External sites may maintain their own terms and privacy practices, and SGC is not responsible for the privacy practices of independent third-party sites.

We may update this policy as website practices, services, or legal requirements change. The Last Updated date identifies the current version.

Privacy questions or requests may be sent to Scottish Group Companies, 7075 S Alton Way, Centennial, CO 80112, United States; contact@scottishgroupcompanies.com; or 866-846-5758.
