This Privacy Policy explains how Hearthbeats LLC (“Hearthbeats,” “we,” “us”) collects, uses, and protects information when you visit hearthbeats.net or contact us through this website.
Who we are
Hearthbeats LLC supplies and advises on premium hearth products, outdoor kitchens, and home audio equipment for homes in Boyds, Maryland and the surrounding area.
For any question about this policy or about your information, contact us at jmyers@hearthbeats.net or 240-988-9177.
Information you give us
When you submit a form on this website, we collect what you enter. Depending on the form, this may include:
- your name, phone number, and email address;
- your city or ZIP code;
- details about your project, including type, timeline, and budget range;
- photos, plans, or other files you choose to upload.
Please do not send us sensitive personal information — financial account numbers, government identification numbers, or health information. We do not need it and do not ask for it.
Information collected automatically
Like most websites, this site records technical information when you visit: IP address, browser and device type, pages viewed, time of visit, and the site that referred you. This comes from our web server logs and from analytics software.
Cookies and analytics
Cookies are small files stored by your browser. We use two kinds:
- Essential cookies keep the website working — for example, remembering your cookie preferences. These cannot be switched off.
- Analytics cookies help us understand how the site is used. We use Google Analytics for this. These load only after you accept them.
You can accept or decline non-essential cookies when you first visit, and you can change your choice at any time. You can also block or delete cookies in your browser settings, though parts of the site may stop working correctly.
How we use your information
- to respond to your inquiry and prepare a quote;
- to contact you about your project;
- to improve the website and understand which pages are useful;
- to keep the site secure and prevent abuse;
- to meet legal and record-keeping obligations.
Who else sees your information
We do not sell your personal information, and we do not share it for advertising.
We use service providers who process information on our behalf and only for us:
- our web hosting provider, which stores the website and its data;
- Google Analytics, for website statistics;
- our email provider, which delivers messages sent through the site.
We may also disclose information if required by law, or to protect our rights, safety, or property.
How long we keep it
We keep inquiries and related correspondence for as long as needed to serve you and to keep normal business records, then delete them. Analytics data is retained according to our Google Analytics settings.
Your choices
You can ask us to tell you what information we hold about you, correct it, or delete it. Write to jmyers@hearthbeats.net and we will respond within a reasonable time. Depending on where you live, you may have additional rights under state privacy law.
You can decline analytics cookies at any time, and you can ask us to stop contacting you.
Security
This website is served over an encrypted connection, and we keep the software behind it updated. No website can promise perfect security, but we take reasonable measures to protect the information you send us.
Children
This website is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect information from children under 13. If you believe a child has sent us information, contact us and we will delete it.
Links to other sites
This site links to manufacturer websites and other third-party pages. We are not responsible for their privacy practices, and this policy does not apply to them.
Changes to this policy
If we change this policy, we will update the date at the top of this page. Significant changes will be noted on the page.
