Road Fabrics Inc ("we," "our," or "us") values your privacy. This Privacy Policy describes how we collect, use, disclose, and protect personal information when you visit roadfabrics.com, and explains your rights regarding your data and how to exercise them.
1. Information We Collect
We collect information in the following ways:
- Forms you submit: When you request a quote, contact us, sign up for a seminar, or subscribe to our newsletter, we collect the details you provide, such as your name, company, email address, phone number, and project information.
- Job applications: When you apply through our careers page, we collect your application details and resume.
- Live chat: If you use the chat feature, we collect the messages and any contact details you share so our team can respond.
- PDH requests: When you request a professional development hour certificate after attending a seminar, we collect the details you enter in that form so we can issue and email your certificate.
- Technical data: Our hosting and security providers automatically process standard technical information, such as IP address, browser type, and pages requested, to serve the site, protect it from abuse, and filter spam. We do not run advertising or cross-site tracking.
2. How We Use Your Information
We use the information you provide to:
- Respond to your inquiries and prepare quotes.
- Schedule and deliver seminars you request.
- Evaluate job applications.
- Send newsletter updates you subscribed to. You can unsubscribe at any time.
- Operate and secure the website and prevent fraudulent or abusive activity.
- Comply with legal requirements.
3. Data Sharing and Disclosure
We do not sell or rent your personal information. We share data only with the service providers that make the website work, and only as needed:
- Cloudflare hosts the website and provides security and spam protection, and processes technical data described above.
- Microsoft 365 delivers form submissions to our staff as email and stores that correspondence in our business mailboxes.
- tawk.to operates the live chat feature and processes chat conversations on our behalf in accordance with its own privacy policy.
- Zoho processes PDH certificate requests on our behalf: it generates your certificate, emails it to you, and records your request in our customer relationship management system.
- Legal compliance: We may disclose information when required by law, legal process, or governmental request, or to protect our legal rights and safety.
- Business transfers: In the case of a merger, sale, or asset transfer, your data may be transferred as part of that transaction.
Product literature linked from this site is hosted on third-party services such as Google Drive. This Privacy Policy does not apply to those services.
4. RF Job Sheets Mobile App
Road Fabrics also provides RF Job Sheets, a private mobile app our employees and drivers use to complete and submit job documentation. This Privacy Policy covers that app as well. When you use RF Job Sheets:
- Work account: You sign in with your Road Fabrics work account, and we process your name and work email address to identify your submissions.
- Job documentation: Job details, photos, and documents you capture are uploaded to servers operated by Road Fabrics. The camera and document scanner are used only when you actively take a photo or scan a document.
- Notifications: If you enable push notifications, we process a device token to deliver work-related notifications.
- Business systems: Job information is synchronized with our internal business systems and retained as ordinary business records.
RF Job Sheets is distributed privately to Road Fabrics personnel and is not directed at the general public. The app does not show advertising, does not sell your data, and does not track you across other companies' apps or websites. Employee information is handled in accordance with our employment policies.
5. Cookies
The website itself does not set advertising or analytics cookies. The live chat feature sets cookies only if you open it, so chat can keep your conversation connected. Our spam-protection service may set a cookie when you use a form to verify you are not a bot.
6. Data Retention and Security
We retain personal information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this policy: inquiry and quote correspondence is kept as ordinary business records, and job applications are kept for the length of the hiring process plus a reasonable period, unless a longer retention period is required by law. We use industry-standard measures, including encrypted connections and access controls, to safeguard your data. No method of electronic transmission is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
7. Your Rights and Choices
Depending on your location, you may have the following rights regarding your data:
- Access & Correction: You can request access to, update, or correct your personal information.
- Data Deletion: You can request that we delete your personal data, subject to legal or operational requirements.
- Opt-Out: You can opt out of newsletter emails at any time using the unsubscribe link or by contacting us.
- Restrict Processing: You may have the right to restrict how we process your data under certain circumstances.
- Withdraw Consent: Where processing is based on consent, you may withdraw it at any time.

8. Children's Privacy
This website is intended for businesses and working professionals, and we do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If you believe we have collected information from a child, please contact us to request deletion.
9. Third-Party Links and Services
Our website contains links to third-party websites, including manufacturer resources and document downloads. This Privacy Policy does not apply to third-party privacy practices, and we encourage you to review their policies separately.
