Effective date: October 6, 2026
Last updated: October 6, 2026

1. Introduction

This Privacy Policy explains how New York Cost Estimating (“we”, “us” or “our”) collects, uses, stores and protects information when you visit newyorkcostestimating.com (the “Website”), contact us, or use our construction estimating, quantity takeoff and related services (the “Services”). By using the Website or Services you agree to the practices described here. If you do not agree, please do not use the Website. Our Terms and Conditions also apply.

2. Information We Collect

Information you provide. When you request a quote, send plans or contact us, we may collect your name, company name, job title, email address, phone number, project address or city, and any messages you send.

Project documents. To prepare estimates we receive drawings, specifications, addenda, photos, bid documents, pricing information and related files (“Project Documents”).

Billing information. If you pay for Services we collect invoicing details. Card payments are processed by third-party payment processors; we do not store full card numbers on our systems.

Information collected automatically. When you visit the Website we and our service providers may collect IP address, browser type, device information, pages visited, referring pages, time on site and similar usage data through cookies, pixels and analytics tools.

3. How We Use Your Information

To respond to inquiries and provide quotes;
To prepare, deliver, revise and support the estimates and takeoffs you order;
To send invoices, process payments and keep business records;
To communicate about your project, deadlines and revisions;
To operate, secure, analyze and improve the Website and Services;
To send occasional service updates or marketing emails, which you can opt out of at any time;
To comply with legal obligations and enforce our agreements.

We do not sell your personal information.

4. Confidentiality of Project Documents

Project Documents and the estimates we prepare are treated as confidential. They are used only to provide the Services you requested. We do not share your drawings, quantities, pricing or bid information with other clients, competitors, suppliers or subcontractors. Access is limited to the estimators and staff working on your project. If you require a separate non-disclosure agreement, contact us before sending files.

5. How We Share Information

We share information only in these limited situations:

Service providers who help us operate our business (for example email, cloud storage, file transfer, payment processing, website hosting and analytics), bound to protect the information;
Legal requirements, when required by law, subpoena or court order, or to protect our rights, safety or property;
Business transfers, such as a merger or sale of assets, subject to this Policy;
With your consent or at your direction.

6. Cookies and Analytics

The Website uses cookies and similar technologies to remember preferences, understand how visitors use the site and measure marketing performance. We may use services such as Google Analytics and embedded Google Maps, which may set their own cookies. You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings; some features may not work properly if you do.

7. Data Retention

We keep contact information and business records for as long as needed to provide Services, maintain records and meet legal, tax and accounting requirements. Project Documents and estimates are retained so we can support revisions and repeat requests, and you may ask us to delete them once a project is complete, subject to records we must keep by law.

8. Data Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical and physical safeguards, including access controls and secure file-sharing tools, to protect information. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security. Please avoid sending sensitive personal information we have not requested.

9. Your Choices and Rights

You may request access to, correction of or deletion of personal information we hold about you, and you may opt out of marketing emails using the unsubscribe link or by contacting us. Depending on where you live, you may have additional rights under applicable privacy laws. We will respond to verified requests within the time required by law.

10. New York Data Security Notice

We maintain safeguards designed to protect private information of New York residents consistent with New York’s data security requirements. If a security incident affects your private information, we will notify you and the appropriate authorities as required by New York law.

11. Third-Party Links

The Website may link to third-party websites, bid platforms or tools. We are not responsible for their privacy practices and encourage you to read their policies.

12. Children's Privacy

Our Website and Services are intended for businesses and adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided information to us, contact us and we will delete it.
