What we collect, and what we will never do with it.

Short version: we ask for the least we can, we use it to answer your question about your property, and we do not sell it, rent it, trade it, or share it with anyone for marketing. Not now, not later, not if someone offers to buy it.

Four things we commit to

We never sell or rent your information. To anyone. There is no circumstance in which your name, address or property details become someone else's marketing list.
No advertising trackers, no analytics, no cookies. This site sets none. That is why you have never seen a cookie banner here — there is nothing to consent to.
The free screener sends us nothing. The arithmetic runs inside your own browser. If you never press Send it, we never see that you visited, let alone what you typed.
You can have your information deleted. Ask, and we delete it. No conditions, no retention argument.

What we actually collect

If you only use the screener

Nothing reaches us. The questions and the answer are computed in your browser using rules built into the page. Nothing is transmitted, stored, or logged by us. You can close the tab and there is no record on our side that you were here.

If you send us an enquiry

When you fill in the form and press Send it, we receive what you typed:

What	Why we need it
Your name	To address you, and to put the right name on your report — we use what you tell us, not what a public record says.
Email, and phone if you give it	To answer you. Phone is optional.
Property address	It is the whole question. Without it there is nothing to research.
Your screener answers	Carried across so you do not type them twice.
Anything you write in the notes	Only what you choose to tell us.

We do not ask for, and have no way to take, payment details on this website. There is no account to create and no password to set.

Where it goes

Form submissions are delivered by Netlify, the company that hosts this site, and emailed to Bircch. They sit in Netlify's dashboard, which only Bircch can open. Netlify processes the submission on our behalf and does not use it for anything of its own.

If your enquiry becomes a report, the working file lives on Bircch's own computer, not on this website. Delivered reports are never published on this site and are not reachable from it.

How long we keep it

Kind	Kept for
An enquiry that never becomes a job	Up to 12 months, then deleted.
A client file — enquiry, research, the report	7 years, so we can answer questions about work we did. This is the ordinary retention period for business records.
Anything, at your request	Deleted when you ask.

Who else sees it

Nobody, with three narrow exceptions:

Netlify, as described above, because they carry the message.
A town office, if you have engaged us to file something for you — and then only what the filing itself requires. We tell you before we do it.
If the law requires it. A court order or a lawful demand. We would tell you unless we were forbidden to.

That is the complete list. We do not have marketing partners, affiliates, data brokers, lead buyers or advertising networks, and we are not going to acquire any.

On research and public records. Producing a feasibility report means reading public records about a property — assessor data, deeds, town bylaws. That research is a one-way street: we read public sources, we never add you to them and we never tell a public body who asked unless you have engaged us to file on your behalf.

Security

Everything is encrypted in transit. The site is HTTPS only; a plain http:// request is redirected, and browsers are told to use HTTPS for a year afterwards.
The page cannot load third-party code. A Content Security Policy blocks scripts, fonts, images and trackers from anywhere but this site. Even if something were pasted in by mistake, your browser would refuse to run it.
No database on the website. There is nothing here to breach — no accounts, no stored passwords, no customer table.
Client work stays off the web. Reports and job records are kept on Bircch's own machine and are not part of this website.

Your choices

You can ask us to show you what we hold about you, correct it, or delete it. You can ask us to stop contacting you and we will. Email us and say so plainly — there is no form to fill in and we will not ask you why.

Children

This is a service for property owners. It is not directed at children and we do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 16.

If this page changes

We will change the date at the top. If a change actually affects how we treat information we already hold, we will email the people it affects rather than quietly editing the page.

Asking us anything

Email julieann@santimawcontracting.com — a real person reads it.

Back to the screener

Bircch · canibuildthisadu.com · buildability & permitting, Massachusetts. Reports are professional research — a plain-English reading of the public record and the town's written rules. Not legal advice, a stamped engineering opinion, or a licensed inspection.
