3. How We Share Your Information
Bethelectric does not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties. We may share your information only in the following limited circumstances:
Service providers:
We may share information with trusted third-party service providers who help us operate our website or deliver services — such as our website hosting provider, email platform, or scheduling software. These providers are only permitted to use your information as necessary to perform services on our behalf.
Legal requirements:
We may disclose your information if required to do so by law, court order, or governmental authority, or if we believe disclosure is necessary to protect our rights, your safety, or the safety of others.
Business transfer:
In the event that Bethelectric is sold, merged, or its assets transferred, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction. You will be notified of any such change that affects how your data is handled.
4. Data Retention
We retain your personal information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this policy, including:
- Active client records are kept for the duration of the business relationship and for a reasonable period afterward
- Service records, permits, and project documentation may be retained for up to seven (7) years in accordance with Georgia contractor recordkeeping requirements
- Contact form inquiries that did not result in a service engagement are retained for up to twelve (12) months
When information is no longer needed, we delete or anonymize it securely.
5. Data Security
We take reasonable steps to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, disclosure, or loss. These measures include:
- Secure HTTPS transmission on our website
- Limited access to personal information — only Bethelectric staff and authorized contractors who need it to perform their work
- Use of reputable third-party platforms for email, scheduling, and payment processing
No method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to protect your information, we cannot guarantee absolute security. If you have concerns about a specific data interaction, please contact us directly.
6. Cookies and Tracking Technologies
Our website may use cookies and similar technologies to improve your browsing experience and understand how visitors interact with our site. Cookies are small text files stored on your device.
Types of cookies we may use:
- Essential cookies — required for the website to function properly (e.g., contact form functionality)
- Analytics cookies — help us understand how visitors navigate the site (e.g., Google Analytics)
- Preference cookies — remember your settings or language preferences
You can control or disable cookies through your browser settings. Note that disabling certain cookies may affect the functionality of our website. We do not use cookies for advertising or to track you across other websites.
7. Google Analytics
We use Google Analytics to collect anonymized data about website traffic and usage patterns. This helps us understand which pages are most useful and how visitors find our site. Google Analytics collects data such as pages visited, time on site, and general geographic location (city or region level). This data is aggregated and does not identify you personally.
You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on, available at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. For more information on how Google handles data, visit google.com/policies/privacy.

- Phone call

We will only contact you in connection with your service inquiry, appointment, or ongoing project. You may opt out of text or email communications at any time by replying STOP to a text or by contacting us at contact@bethelectric.net.

Our website and services are not directed to children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has submitted information to us, please contact us at contact@bethelectric.net and we will promptly delete it.
10. Third-Party Links
Our website may contain links to third-party websites, including Google, Instagram, and Georgia Power. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those sites. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party site you visit through a link on our website.
