This Privacy Policy explains how F3 Protective Services (“F3,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) collects, uses, and shares information when you visit or interact with our public website (the “Site”). It does not cover our protective services operations (e.g., on-site security, patrols, client systems). For service-related privacy information, please contact us.
1) Information We Collect
a) Information you provide
- Contact details when you submit a form, request a quote, or subscribe (e.g., name, email, phone, company, message).
- Job application info if you apply through the Site (e.g., résumé/CV contents).
- Communications you send to us (email or phone).
b) Information collected automatically
- Device/usage data (via cookies or similar): IP address, browser type, device identifiers, pages viewed, time on page, referring/exit pages, and general location (city/region based on IP).
- Analytics data from tools that help us understand Site performance (e.g., page load, popular pages).
You can manage cookies in your browser settings. Blocking cookies may affect some Site features.
2) How We Use Information
We use information to:
- Respond to inquiries, quote requests, and customer support messages.
- Operate, maintain, secure, and improve the Site.
- Analyze Site traffic and performance to enhance user experience.
- Send administrative messages or service-related communications.
- Protect our rights, investigate fraud/abuse, and comply with law.
We do not use Site-collected personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising.
3) How We Share Information
We may share information with:
- Service providers that host the Site, provide analytics, form processing, email delivery, security/anti-abuse tools, or customer support—only to perform services for us and under confidentiality obligations.
- Professional advisors and legal authorities when required by law, to protect safety and property, or to establish/exercise legal claims.
- Business transfers (e.g., merger, acquisition) where permitted by law and with appropriate protections.
We do not sell or “share” personal information (as “share” is defined by the California CPRA) for targeted advertising.
4) Cookies & Analytics
We use cookies and similar technologies to operate the Site and understand usage. These may include:
- Strictly necessary cookies (security, load balancing, basic functionality).
- Performance/analytics cookies (aggregate traffic and usage insights).
Your choices:
- Use your browser’s settings to block or delete cookies.
- Some analytics providers offer opt-out mechanisms (e.g., browser add-ons).
5) Data Retention
- Contact form submissions / quote requests: typically up to 24 months from last interaction unless a longer period is needed for recordkeeping, security, or legal obligations.
- Analytics data: retained by providers on their schedules (commonly 14–26 months) in aggregate form.
We may retain information longer if required by law or to resolve disputes.
6) Your Privacy Rights
Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or receive a copy of certain personal information, and to opt out of specific processing. To make a request, email [email protected] or call 888-502-6165. We will verify your request as required by law.

8) Children’s Privacy
The Site is not directed to children under 16, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them.
