This page explains what information we collect on our website and how we use it. We kept it short and in plain English. It is not legal advice.
Who we are
BYRNE WELDING AND FABRICATION LLC ("Byrne Welding & Fabrication") is a welding and metal fabrication shop in South Boardman, Michigan.
This policy covers our website, including byrnewelding.com and byrneswelding.com.
You can reach us at:
- Phone: 231-222-5119
- Email: [email protected]
- Mail: 5703 Woodman Rd SW, South Boardman, MI 49680
What we collect
If you request an estimate or contact us through the forms on our Contact or Handrails Estimate pages, we collect:
- Your name and phone number (required)
- Your email address, if you give it
- The type of work you are asking about, the job location (city or ZIP), and any project details you write in the message
- Photos you choose to attach (optional, up to five images)
- The IP address and browser information recorded with your form submission
The form's details and photos are stored securely by our website hosting provider (Cloudflare), emailed to us through an email delivery service (Resend), and may be copied into our own lead-tracking spreadsheet (Google).
Our website developer can access the site's systems to maintain them.
If you call, text, or email us, we also keep the information you choose to send that way, including any photos or files you attach.
When you visit the site, our hosting provider and the tools described below may automatically receive standard technical information, such as your IP address, browser and device type, the pages you view, and how you arrived at the site.
How we use it
We use this information to:
- Get back to you and answer your questions
- Prepare an estimate
- Do the work if you hire us
- Keep records of the job and our business
If we need a trusted vendor to help complete your job, we may share the details they need to do that work, and only for that purpose.
What we don't do
We do not sell your personal information.
We do not keep a marketing or newsletter list, and we do not add you to one.
Cookies and analytics
We use a few tools to run the site, keep spam off the forms, and understand how people find us.
Google Analytics 4. We use Google Analytics 4 to see how the site is used — for example, which pages are visited and whether people found us through search, ads, or another source. Google may set cookies and collect device and usage information as described in Google's own policy.
Google Ads. We use a Google Ads tag to measure how our ads perform. Google may also use information from this tag to show ads, as described in Google's policies. You can manage ad personalization at https://myadcenter.google.com/.
Ahrefs Web Analytics. We use Ahrefs Web Analytics to see basic traffic trends. Ahrefs' public documentation states that this product uses no cookies, does not store raw IP addresses with the analytics data, and does not track visitors across days. You can read that description here: https://help.ahrefs.com/en/articles/10247870-about-ahrefs-web-analytics.
Cloudflare and Turnstile. The site is served through Cloudflare. On the estimate and contact forms, we use Cloudflare Turnstile to help block spam and automated submissions. The forms also include a honeypot field for the same purpose. Cloudflare may process technical information, such as IP address and browser data, to provide hosting, security, and that spam check.

How long we keep it
We keep inquiry and job information only as long as we need it for estimates, jobs, and business records.
Security
We take reasonable steps to protect the information you send us. No website or email system is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee that information will never be accessed or disclosed without our permission.

This website is for homeowners and businesses looking for welding and fabrication work. It is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.
