Privacy Policy
Your privacy matters to us. This policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information.
Effective date: July 24, 2026
Buffington Brothers ("we," "us," or "our") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy describes how we collect, use, share, and safeguard your information when you visit our website, call us, or use our services. This policy is written for visitors and customers in the United States. By using our website or services, you agree to the practices described here and to our Terms & Conditions .
Information We Collect
Information you provide. When you submit a form, request an estimate, schedule service, or contact us, we collect information such as your name, email address, phone number, service address, property details, payment and billing information, and the contents of your messages.
Phone calls — recording and tracking. When you call us, or we call you, calls may be recorded and tracked for quality assurance, training, and marketing attribution (for example, to understand which advertising channel led to your call). We may use call-tracking phone numbers and third-party call-tracking services for this purpose.
Information collected automatically. When you visit our website, we and our service providers automatically collect information using cookies and similar technologies, including IP address, device and browser type, pages viewed, referring pages, and general location. This includes:
- Analytics tools (such as Google Analytics) that help us understand how visitors use the site;
- Advertising platforms (such as Google Ads and social media ad platforms) that help us measure and improve our marketing;
- Call-tracking technology that connects website visits to phone calls.
How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect to:
- Provide, schedule, and complete service requests;
- Prepare estimates and process payments and invoices;
- Send appointment confirmations, service reminders, and maintenance notifications;
- Respond to inquiries and provide customer support;
- Measure and improve our website, services, and marketing (including attribution of calls and form submissions to advertising channels);
- Send marketing communications where permitted, which you may opt out of at any time;
- Protect against fraud and misuse, and comply with legal obligations.
Data Retention
We retain personal information for as long as needed to provide services, maintain business and warranty records, resolve disputes, and comply with legal, tax, and accounting obligations. Retention periods vary by record type — for example, service and warranty records are kept for the life of the applicable warranty, and call recordings are kept only as long as needed for quality and attribution purposes. When information is no longer needed, we delete or de-identify it.
Data Security
We implement reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction, including encryption in transit and restricted access to personal data. However, no method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Children's Privacy
Our website and services are not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us personal information, please contact us and we will delete it.
Your Choices
- Email. You can opt out of marketing emails at any time using the unsubscribe link in any marketing message or by contacting us. We may still send transactional messages about your service.
- Text messages. Reply STOP to any text message to opt out, or HELP for assistance.
- Cookies. You can manage preferences for non-essential advertising cookies through the cookie preferences option on this website and through your browser settings. Essential cookies and first-party measurement that we use to operate the site and attribute inquiries remain active.
US State Privacy Rights
Your Privacy Choices — Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information
Some US states — including California under the California Consumer Privacy Act as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CCPA/CPRA) — give residents rights over their personal information. Depending on your state, these may include the right to:
- Know what personal information we collect, use, and disclose;
- Request a copy of your personal information;
- Request correction of inaccurate personal information;
- Request deletion of your personal information;
- Opt out of the "sale" or "sharing" of personal information as defined by your state's law;
- Not receive discriminatory treatment for exercising any of these rights.
"Selling" and "sharing." We do not sell personal information for money. However, the use of third-party advertising cookies that support cross-context behavioral advertising may constitute "sharing" (and in some states "selling") of personal information as those terms are defined by state law. You can opt out of advertising cookies through the cookie preferences option on this website (the "Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information" link in the footer brings you to this section). This website also honors the Global Privacy Control (GPC) browser signal as a valid opt-out of advertising-cookie sale/sharing, with no further action required.
How to submit a rights request. Contact us at [email protected] or (573) 785-6768 . We will verify your request and respond within the timelines required by applicable law. You may use an authorized agent where your state's law permits.
Analytics & Google Consent Mode
We use Google Analytics and related Google tools with Google Consent Mode, which adjusts how Google tags behave based on your region and your consent choices. For visitors in regions that require opt-in consent (such as the European Economic Area, United Kingdom, and Switzerland), analytics and advertising cookies are off by default until consent is given. For US visitors, we use analytics and call-tracking measurement to operate and improve our business, and you can manage advertising-cookie preferences as described in "Your Choices" above.

Policy Updates
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will post the revised policy on this page with an updated effective date. Material changes will be highlighted on this page. Your continued use of our website or services after an update constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
