Embedded content from other websites
Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.
These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.
Analytics
Weld and Sons Plumbing uses Google Analytics, Google AdWords, and WordPress Analytics to track search information. We use the data we gather of our website visitor’s behaviors to optimize and enhance the user experience so customers are able to find what they are looking for easier and faster. We gather all types of attainable data through these platforms. We will not sell this data to third party websites, but we may use a third party software to aid in marketing our content.
Who we share your data with
We do not share the data we collect with any other company. If we do share data with other companies, it is for the sole purpose of better reaching our potential customers. Companies included in this are susceptible to change according to our marketing efforts. We currently allow Google products to access search data from our website to make marketing decisions. Google collects data from our website but this data does not contain personal information like addresses or names.
How long we retain your data
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
For users that register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.

If you have an account on this site or have left comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
Where we send your data
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service. This is to ensure our website is void of harmful and destructive content.
