General Statement
This website is intended as a general online introduction to Harkins Builders, Inc. Therefore, the flow of information is mostly outward, towards you the visitor. Harkins does not share, disclose, or sell any information to third parties unless legally required to do so.
Collecting Information
There are three areas where we might collect information in conjunction with your visit:
Contact Us form - On the Contact Us page, we offer an electronic form for the purpose of making inquiries. We ask for certain information (e.g. name, phone #, email, company/organization) in order to provide the most helpful response. This information is used only for the purpose of answering the inquiry. It may be stored in a record database in order to be able to reference it later, but it is not used for any purpose other than answering the inquiry.
Application for Employment - In the Why Work Here section of our website, there are opportunities for a visitor to submit their resume to be considered for employment. The links to enter this process lead to a third-party website (Employment Screening Services, Inc.). The following notice from Harkins appears at the entrance to that site: The information in this application will only be used for performing a routine background check and drug test and will not be disclosed to anyone not involved with that process. All data is protected and highly secure. The Employment Screening Services, Inc. privacy policy can be found here.
Google Analytics - Our site uses Google Analytics to track how our visitors use our site. We do this to provide the best possible user experience for our visitors. Any information collected, such as IP addresses, is non-personal information, and none of this information is connected to personal information to identify our visitors. Google Analytics uses cookies. Cookies are text-only pieces of information that a website transfers to an individual’s hard drive or other website-browsing equipment for record-keeping purposes.

If you click on one of these links to view one of these third-party operated websites, then these other third-party websites may send their own cookies to you, log your IP address, and otherwise collect data or solicit Personal Information. Harkins does not control and is not responsible for what third parties do in connection with their websites, or how they handle your personal information.
