Comments
When visitors leave comments on our site, we collect the data shown in the comments form, as well as the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help detect spam.
Media Privacy and EXIF Data
When you upload images to our website, please ensure the files do not include embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Many smartphones and digital cameras automatically store metadata in photos. This metadata may contain sensitive information, such as the exact geographic location where the image was taken.
To protect your privacy, remove this metadata before uploading images. This is especially important for personal photos, pictures taken on private property, or images of confidential project sites.
Visitors may download and extract metadata from any publicly visible images. While we take steps to protect your privacy, we cannot prevent others from accessing embedded data in photos published on our site.
If you are unsure how to remove EXIF data, many photo editing tools and online services offer options to strip metadata before uploading.
As a best practice, always review media files for sensitive data before sharing them publicly online..
Cookies and Your Privacy
Our website uses cookies to improve your browsing experience and support essential site functions. Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website.
When you leave a comment on our site, you may choose to save your name, email address, and website in cookies. This feature makes it easier for you to comment again without re-entering your details. These cookies remain stored for up to one year.
We also use cookies necessary for basic website functions. These cookies enable secure logins, page navigation, and accessibility settings. Disabling these cookies might affect website performance.
Additionally, we use cookies for analytics to collect anonymous data such as pages visited, time spent on the site, and navigation patterns. We use trusted services like Google Analytics for this purpose. All data collected is anonymized and does not identify individual users.
Some website pages may include embedded content from third-party platforms like YouTube, Google Maps, or social media. These platforms may set their cookies when you interact with their content. We do not control these cookies, which behave as if you visited the external site directly.
You can manage or disable cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to view, delete, or block cookies. Please note that restricting cookies may limit some website features.
In regions where privacy laws such as the GDPR apply, you may see a cookie banner when you first visit our site. This banner allows you to accept or decline non-essential cookies according to your preferences.
Embedded Third-Party Content
Some pages and articles on our website include embedded content such as videos, maps, images, or articles. We source this content from trusted external platforms such as YouTube, Google Maps, Instagram, Vimeo, and industry publications.
When you view or interact with embedded content, it behaves as if you are visiting the third-party website directly. These external sites may collect data about you, use cookies, and employ tracking technologies. This may include tracking your actions if you are logged into an account on their platform—for example, liking a video on YouTube or viewing a map on Google Maps while signed in.
We do not control the data collection or privacy practices of these third-party platforms. Any data collected through embedded content is subject to the privacy policies of those platforms, not Regalridge Construction.
If you have concerns about your data, we recommend reviewing the privacy policies of the third-party sites whose content we embed.
To protect your privacy, we embed content only from reputable sources and limit the use of unnecessary trackers whenever possible.
Data Sharing with Service Providers

We regularly review data sharing practices and take steps to keep your personal information safe.

When you leave a comment on our website, we retain your comment content and related metadata (such as date, IP address, and browser info) indefinitely. This helps us recognize you if you return to comment again. It also enables automatic approval of your follow-up comments, improving user experience and spam management.
If you register an account on our website (where applicable), we store your personal information, including your name, email, and other profile details. Registered users can view, edit, or delete their personal data anytime, except their username, which remains permanent for system integrity.
Website administrators may access and manage user data to provide support, enforce policies, or comply with legal obligations. We enforce strict access controls to ensure trusted staff only handle your data for legitimate reasons.
We keep your data as long as needed to fulfill this privacy policy, comply with laws, resolve disputes, and enforce agreements. Upon request, we promptly delete your data unless legal or business reasons require retention.
We continuously review data retention practices to balance privacy with operational needs. We strive to delete or anonymize data no longer necessary.

International Data Transfers
When you use our website or communicate with us, some of your data may transfer to servers outside your country. This happens when we use trusted third-party providers like web hosts, cloud storage, analytics, or email services, which may operate data centers in other countries.
We ensure all international data transfers comply with applicable laws and include safeguards such as data processing agreements, recognized privacy frameworks, and technical security measures.
For example, Google Analytics processes anonymized data on servers in the United States or Europe. Our hosting provider may store website data outside Tanzania.
We carefully select third-party partners based on reputation, security, and compliance with privacy regulations to protect your data’s confidentiality and integrity.
