This page explains what Denver Colorado Insulation collects when you use the quote form, why we collect it, and who it's shared with. Plain language, no dark patterns.
Who is collecting my information?
Denver Colorado Insulation is operated by Omar Blasgen, an individual — there is no separate company behind the name. He is the party who collects and holds the lead data described on this page, and the person your requests under this policy go to.
What information do you collect?
From the form: your name and phone number. Optional: email, property address or ZIP, service needed, approximate home size, and any notes you add. If you submit from a calculator, the numbers you entered and the result are recorded in our receipt log with the rest of the submission. They are not part of the lead we send the contractor. We do not ask for and do not want financial account numbers or any government ID.
We also record a few technical details about the submission itself: which page you submitted it from, your browser's user-agent string (the make-and-version text every browser sends with a request), a scrambled one-way fingerprint of your IP address, how long the form was open before you submitted it, the contents of a decoy field that is hidden from people and only ever filled in by automated software, and whether our automated spam checks flagged the submission. The timing and the decoy field exist for one purpose — telling a person apart from a bot — and they are kept in our own records rather than sent to the contractor.
We also capture where you came from before landing on our site (your referrer) and any utm tracking tags in the URL you arrived on (utm_source, utm_medium, utm_campaign, utm_term, utm_content). If you visit multiple pages before submitting, we remember your original landing page and those utm tags using sessionStorage — a temporary browser storage that lives only for the current browser tab and is automatically cleared when you close the tab. This first-touch data helps us understand which marketing channels bring us the best leads. Your browser's user-agent string, IP address fingerprint, form load timestamp, and the hidden spam-check field all stay in our records only — they do not travel to the contractor.
Separately from the form, this site counts page views — the page address and the time, with no IP address, cookie, or identifier of any kind attached. See "Do you track me or use cookies?" below for exactly what that does and does not include.
Why do you collect it, and who sees it?
One purpose: connecting your project with a local, independent retrofit insulation contractor who can quote the work. Submitting the form is asking us to hand your details to that contractor — the sharing is the service. The notification email is addressed to our own inbox and, where a contractor is set up to receive leads directly, to that contractor as well — so the contractor is a direct recipient, not someone we forward to afterwards. The email service that delivers it (SendGrid) processes it in transit, and our mail provider hosts the inbox it lands in. If our automated spam checks flagged the submission, the subject line says so, and that flag is visible to everyone who receives the email. Beyond that, access is limited to us: an authenticated administrative endpoint can export lead records, and if the system errors while handling a submission, a diagnostic alert containing the failure context is emailed to our own inbox.
Is my information sold?
In the everyday sense, no — no data brokers, no marketing lists, no advertisers. But Colorado's privacy law defines "sale" and "sharing" broadly, and because we may be compensated for referring your project, the hand-off to the contractor may itself count as a "sale" or "share" under the Colorado Privacy Act. We would rather over-disclose than lawyer the word: submit the form and your details go to one contractor, and we may be paid for that referral. You can opt out of that sharing (below) — but because the sharing is the service, opting out means we cannot connect you with a contractor. There is no version of this service without the hand-off.
How is it stored?
Submissions are stored in our database and in a receipt log we keep to confirm each form actually went through. The site is served over HTTPS, so your submission is encrypted in transit. Your IP address is stored only as a scrambled one-way fingerprint (a salted hash) used to block spam and abuse — we do not keep your raw IP address. The receipt log holds that fingerprint alongside the form fields you submitted, your browser's user-agent string, the form's timing and decoy-field values, whether the notification email and the database write succeeded, and whether our automated spam checks flagged the submission. Notification email is delivered through SendGrid.
How long do you keep it?
Our policy is to keep lead records and the submission receipt log for 24 months from submission and then delete them. That deletion runs automatically on a nightly schedule — you don't have to do anything for it to happen. Ask us to delete your information sooner (below) and we do that instead of waiting out the clock.
Do you track me or use cookies?
No cookies, and nothing that identifies you. This site sets no cookies, runs no advertising or social pixels, uses no third-party analytics service, and follows you nowhere else on the web. There is no behavioral profile of you anywhere in this system.
One thing is counted, and it is deliberately small: when a page loads, this site's own server records which page it was and when. That is the whole record — a page address and a timestamp. It does not include your IP address, a cookie, a device or browser identifier, or anything else that distinguishes one visitor from another, which means the entries cannot be tied back to you or linked to each other. The data stays on this site's own server and database and is never sent to any outside company. We use it for exactly one purpose: counting how many people read each page.
We also do not send you marketing email — the emails our system sends about your submission go to us and to the contractor, not to you.
What are my rights under Colorado law?
The Colorado Privacy Act gives Colorado residents the right to access the personal data held about you (including a portable copy), correct it, delete it, and opt out of the "sale"/"sharing" described above — with the honest consequence already stated: no sharing means no contractor connection. To use any of these, email leads@denvercoloradoinsulation.com and say what you want. No form, no account, and no verification theater beyond confirming you are who you say you are. If a request is declined, you can appeal by replying to the answer, and the appeal gets a fresh look rather than a rubber stamp. This policy and any dispute under it are governed by Colorado law.
