Privacy, section by section

This website is run by Regal Roofing for homeowners with roof trouble in Lincoln Park, Pequannock, Wayne, Fairfield and Kinnelon, New Jersey. The roofing itself is done by someone else: an independent local contractor picks up the calls that Regal Roofing passes along.

A phone call leaves behind the caller's number, the moment it arrived, its length and whatever was said, commonly a name, an address and some account of the roof. Where a call is recorded, the start of it carries a spoken notice, and the recording is kept.

A visit to the website leaves technical traces: pages opened, clicks, the kind of device and browser, and a rough location. Analytics and session-replay providers gather these through cookies or similar tools. There are no forms on the site, so visitors type nothing in.

Details are used to connect a call to a roofing contractor, to follow up on the job, to check the quality of calls, to improve the website, to guard against fraud and to meet legal duties.

Three groups receive details: the local roofing contractor that answers the call and pays Regal Roofing for connected calls; service companies that supply phone, hosting and analytics under contract; and public authorities when the law demands it. Nobody else receives anything.

Some privacy laws treat a call passed to a paying contractor as a sale or a share. Opting out is open to anyone, and a browser signal such as Global Privacy Control is read as an opt-out of the sharing described in this section.

To learn what is held, to have it erased or to stop it being shared, dial the number on the website and name the request. Each one is answered within the period set by the law that applies.

Visitors under 16 are not who this site is written for, and Regal Roofing does not knowingly collect details about children.
