PRIVACY POLICY

Effective Date:
27 July 2026

Applied Protection Service LLC. (“APS,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) respects the privacy of visitors to www.appliedprotectionservice.com and is committed to operating this website in a manner that limits the collection and use of personal information.

This Privacy Policy describes how information may be processed when you visit our website, follow a link from our website, or voluntarily communicate with APS.

Our Privacy-First Approach

APS does not sell personal information, create advertising profiles about website visitors, track visitors across unrelated websites, or use personal information for behavioral advertising.

APS collects personal information through the public website only when a visitor voluntarily submits information through the contact form. Limited technical information may also be processed by Squarespace and other infrastructure providers as necessary to securely host, deliver, and operate the website.

Contact Form Notice

When you use the website’s contact form, APS may collect the information you voluntarily provide, which may include:

  • Your name;

  • Your email address;

  • Your telephone number;

  • Your business or organization;

  • The type of service you are requesting;

  • The contents of your message; and

  • Any other information you voluntarily enter into the form.

APS uses contact-form information only as reasonably necessary to:

  • Respond to your inquiry;

  • Communicate with you about requested services;

  • Determine whether APS can accommodate your request;

  • Prepare an estimate, proposal, or service agreement;

  • Maintain appropriate business records;

  • Prevent spam, fraud, abuse, or unlawful activity;

  • Protect APS, its personnel, its clients, or the public; and

  • Comply with applicable legal obligations.

Submitting a contact form does not enroll you in a mailing list or authorize APS to send unrelated marketing communications unless you separately and expressly request them.

APS does not sell contact-form information or disclose it to advertisers for targeted or behavioral advertising.

Contact-Form Processing and Storage

Contact-form submissions are transmitted through Squarespace and delivered to the storage destination configured by APS.

Depending on APS’s form settings, submissions may be delivered to an APS-controlled email account, stored in Squarespace’s contact-management tools, or transmitted to another APS-authorized business service.

Squarespace processes form submissions as the website’s hosting and form-services provider. Forms submitted through an SSL-enabled Squarespace domain are encrypted during transmission.

Access to form submissions is limited to APS personnel and authorized service providers who reasonably require access for legitimate business, operational, technical, or legal purposes.

Sensitive Information

Do not use the contact form to submit:

  • Social Security numbers;

  • Driver’s-license or passport numbers;

  • Payment-card or banking information;

  • Medical records or protected health information;

  • Passwords or account credentials;

  • Alarm codes, access codes, or encryption keys;

  • Detailed security vulnerabilities;

  • Confidential operational plans; or

  • Information concerning an emergency or immediate threat.

Squarespace specifically states that ordinary form blocks are not designed as part of a HIPAA-compliant solution.

For an emergency or immediate threat to life or property, call 911 or the appropriate local emergency service.

Retention of Contact-Form Information

APS retains contact-form information only for as long as reasonably necessary to:

  • Respond to the inquiry;

  • Evaluate or provide requested services;

  • Maintain legitimate business records;

  • Document client or prospective-client communications;

  • Resolve disputes;

  • Protect legal and operational interests;

  • Satisfy insurance or contractual requirements; or

  • Comply with applicable law.

Information that is no longer reasonably necessary may be deleted, anonymized, or securely disposed of in accordance with APS practices and applicable requirements.

Visitors may request access to, correction of, or deletion of information they submitted by contacting APS using the information listed in this Privacy Policy. Certain information may be retained when reasonably necessary or legally required.

Cookies and Similar Technologies

This website is configured to restrict nonessential analytics, advertising, performance, and tracking cookies.

Squarespace may use limited cookies that are necessary to securely host, deliver, and operate the website. These cookies may support website security, network management, fraud prevention, navigation, and system administration.

APS does not intentionally use:

  • Advertising or remarketing cookies;

  • Meta Pixel;

  • Google Ads conversion tracking;

  • Cross-site behavioral tracking;

  • Heatmaps;

  • Session-recording software; or

  • Third-party advertising analytics.

Because nonessential cookies are restricted, APS does not display a cookie-consent banner. Visitors may still review, block, or delete cookies through their browser settings. Blocking cookies necessary for website operation may affect website functionality.

Google reCAPTCHA Notice

APS uses Google reCAPTCHA on its contact form to reduce automated spam, fraudulent submissions, and abuse. reCAPTCHA may process technical information concerning a visitor’s browser, device, network, IP address, and interaction with the website. Google states that reCAPTCHA sets a cookie it classifies as necessary. Information processed by reCAPTCHA is subject to Google’s applicable privacy policies and terms.
