Privacy Policy

At Martinkovic Milford Architects (MMA, we, us), we are committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard information when you contact us, engage our services, or use our website.

Effective Date: February 16, 2026 Last Modified: February 16, 2026

1) Information We Collect

We may collect the following categories of information:

A. Information you provide directly
Contact Information: name, email address, phone number, mailing address, and other contact details.
Project and Service Information: information about your project, goals, preferences, budget ranges, timelines, site details, and information you share during consultations.
Communications: messages and attachments you send us (including via email, forms, text messaging, or other channels).

B. Information collected automatically (website usage) If you visit our website, we may collect:
Device and usage data: IP address, browser type, device identifiers, pages viewed, and referral or exit pages.
Cookies and similar technologies: information collected via cookies, pixels, and similar tools (see “Cookies and Tracking”).

C. Information from service providers In some cases, we may receive information from vendors that help us operate our business (for example, scheduling tools, email and website platforms, payment processors), subject to their own privacy practices and our agreements with them.

2) How We Use Your Information

We use information we collect to:
Respond to inquiries and communicate with you about services, scheduling, proposals, and project updates.
Provide and manage architectural and design services, including coordinating with project partners when necessary.
Improve our website, services, and client experience (including analytics and performance monitoring).
Maintain safety, prevent fraud, and protect the integrity and security of our systems.
Comply with applicable legal obligations and enforce our agreements.

3) How We Share Your Information

We do not sell your personal information. We also do not share personal information with third parties for their independent marketing or promotional purposes.

We may share information in limited circumstances, including:

A. Service providers (operations and project delivery) We may share information with trusted vendors and professionals who perform services on our behalf or support project delivery, such as contractors, consultants, IT providers, website and analytics providers, file-sharing platforms, and payment processors. These parties are authorized to use information only as necessary to provide services to MMA and are expected to protect it.

B. Legal and safety reasons We may disclose information if required to comply with law, court orders, or lawful requests, or when we believe disclosure is necessary to protect rights, safety, and security (ours, yours, or others).
C. Business transitions If MMA is involved in a merger, acquisition, reorganization, or sale of assets, information may be transferred as part of that transaction, subject to appropriate confidentiality protections.

4) Data Retention

We retain information only as long as reasonably necessary to provide services, meet operational needs, and comply with legal, tax, accounting, and contractual obligations.
Client and project records are typically retained for a period consistent with professional practice standards and legal requirements.
Security and website logs are generally retained for a limited period to help prevent fraud, monitor system health, and investigate security incidents.
Retention periods may vary depending on the type of information, the purpose for which it was collected, and applicable requirements.

5) Data Security
We implement reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect your information from unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure; therefore, we cannot guarantee absolute security.

6) Your Rights and Choices
Depending on your location and applicable law, you may have rights to:
Access the personal information we have about you.
Correct inaccurate personal information.
Request deletion of your personal information (subject to legal and contractual exceptions).
Opt-out of marketing communications at any time.

To exercise these rights, contact us at mma@martinkovicmilford.com. We may need to verify your request before fulfilling it.
California notice: We do not sell personal information and do not share personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising. If you use browser signals or settings intended to communicate privacy preferences (such as Global Privacy Control), we will honor them where they apply to our practices.

7) SMS and Mobile Messaging Privacy
If you choose to communicate with us by text message or opt in to receive SMS from MMA:
No mobile information will be shared with third parties or affiliates for marketing or promotional purposes.
Text messaging originator opt-in data and consent will not be shared with any third parties.
Message frequency may vary. Message and data rates may apply.
You may opt out at any time by replying STOP. For help, reply HELP (or contact us at mma@martinkovicmilford.com).

We use SMS primarily to support client communications and service delivery (for example, scheduling and project coordination), not for third-party marketing.

8) Cookies and Tracking
Our website may use cookies and similar technologies to help the site function, improve performance, understand usage trends, and enhance user experience. You can control cookies through your browser settings and, where available, on-site preference tools. Disabling certain cookies may affect website functionality.

9) Embedded Content from Other Websites
Our site may include embedded content (such as videos, images, maps, or articles). Embedded content behaves similarly to visiting the third-party website directly. These third-party sites may collect data about you, use cookies, and track your interaction with embedded content, including if you are logged into an account with that service.

10) Children’s Privacy
Our services and website are not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.
