Privacy Policy

Effective date: {{EFFECTIVE_DATE}}

DDEC, LLC (“DDEC,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) respects your privacy. This policy explains what information we collect through this website (ddec.com), how we use it, and the choices you have. It applies only to this website — not to any separate services, procurement portals, or client systems we may operate.

If you have questions about this policy or your information, contact us at info@ddec.com.

Information we collect

Information you give us. When you use a form on this site, you choose to provide certain details:

  • Contact form: your name, email address, phone number (optional), and the message you send.
  • Careers form: your name, email address, phone number (optional), the category of interest you select, anything you write in the “About You” field, and any professional profile or portfolio link you provide.
  • Newsletter, if you subscribe: your email address. {{CONFIRM: newsletter is live and which provider — remove this bullet if there is no newsletter signup.}}

We only receive what you submit. You are not required to give us any of this to browse the site.

Information collected automatically. Our hosting and security provider (Cloudflare) processes standard technical information when you visit — such as your IP address, browser and device type, referring page, and the pages you view — to deliver the site, keep it secure, and understand general performance. This is ordinary server and content-delivery logging.

Approximate map location. The interactive map on our homepage centers on your approximate city using IP-based location only. It does not ask for location permission, does not use precise GPS, and does not store your coordinates.

Cookies and similar technologies. This site uses minimal cookies. Our spam-protection tool (Cloudflare Turnstile) may set a temporary token when you submit a form, to confirm you are a real person. We self-host our fonts, so no third-party font network is called. {{CONFIRM cookie/analytics specifics: if an analytics tool (e.g., Cloudflare Web Analytics or another) is added, disclose it here and state whether it is cookieless. If the site remains essential-cookies-only, state that plainly.}}

How we use information

We use the information above to:

  • respond to your inquiry and communicate with you about your request;
  • review and follow up on careers and talent-community submissions;
  • send you the newsletter if you asked to receive it (you can unsubscribe anytime);
  • operate, secure, maintain, and improve the website; and
  • comply with legal obligations.

How we share information

We do not sell your personal information. We share it only in these limited situations:

  • Service providers that help us run the site and its forms, and may process information on our behalf: our hosting and security provider (Cloudflare), our form-email delivery provider (Resend), our spam-protection tool (Cloudflare Turnstile){{, and our newsletter provider if applicable}}. These providers are permitted to use the information only to provide their service to us.
  • Legal reasons — if required by law, regulation, legal process, or to protect the rights, safety, or property of DDEC or others.

We do not otherwise disclose your information to third parties for their own marketing.

How long we keep it

We keep form submissions for as long as needed to respond to your request and to maintain reasonable business records, then delete or archive them. {{CONFIRM retention period or state “unless a longer period is required by law.”}}

Your choices and rights

You may request to access, correct, or delete the personal information you have submitted to us by emailing info@ddec.com. You may unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time using the link in the email{{ or by contacting us}}.

Depending on where you live, you may have additional rights:

  • California residents may have rights under the CCPA/CPRA, including to know, delete, and correct personal information, and to not be discriminated against for exercising those rights. We do not sell or “share” personal information as those terms are defined by California law. {{CONFIRM applicability and add the required CCPA disclosures/verification method if DDEC meets the CCPA thresholds.}}
  • Residents of the EEA/UK may have rights under the GDPR/UK GDPR, including access, rectification, erasure, restriction, and objection. {{CONFIRM applicability — likely limited, given DDEC’s South Florida municipal focus; include an appropriate legal-basis statement if retained.}}

To exercise any right, email info@ddec.com; we will verify your request as appropriate before responding.

Children’s privacy

This site is intended for a general, professional audience and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us information, contact info@ddec.com and we will delete it.

Security

We use reasonable administrative and technical measures to protect the information submitted through this site. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

This site links to other DDEC properties (for example, vzfla.com) and to third-party services such as our social media pages. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of sites we do not operate. Review their policies separately.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the “Effective date” above and post the updated version on this page.
