Privacy Policy How we handle the information you send us

Last updated August 31, 2026

Who we are

Schwantek LLC operates this website at schwantek.com. We are a precision machining business in Colorado Springs, Colorado. In this policy, "we", "us" and "our" mean Schwantek LLC. You can reach us at sales@schwantek.com or (719) 428-6025.

What this policy covers

This policy covers the information we collect through schwantek.com, and the information you send us in a quote request or an email. It does not cover any other website you reach from a link on this site.

Information you give us

Our quote request forms ask for your name, your email address, and a description of the part you need. One of the forms also asks for your company, the quantity, the date you need parts, the material, and any additional requirements. You may attach a drawing, a 3D model, or a photograph. Uploads are limited to 20 MB.

We also receive whatever you choose to put in an email or tell us on the phone.

We do not ask for your phone number on any form, and we do not collect payment card details through this website.

Information collected automatically

Our hosting provider records standard server log information for every request. That includes your IP address, your browser type, the pages you request, and the time of the request.

We use Google Analytics 4 to understand how the site is used. It sets two first-party cookies, named _ga and _ga_2G0DP9ZE8P, which distinguish one visitor from another and group page views into sessions. We read this data in aggregate and do not use it to identify individual visitors.

We do not run advertising cookies, retargeting pixels, or social media trackers on this site.

How we use information

• To read and answer your quote request
• To prepare a quote, and to produce the part if you place an order
• To keep records of enquiries and of work we have done
• To understand which pages are useful and improve the site
• To protect the site and its forms from spam and abuse

What happens to a form submission

When you submit a quote request it is emailed to us, and it is also saved in the website database so that nothing is lost if the email fails. Any file you attach is stored with it.

Who we share information with

We do not sell personal information and we do not share it for advertising. We use a small number of service providers who handle information on our behalf.

• Our website host, which stores the site and its database and keeps server logs
• Google, which provides Google Analytics
• Automattic, which provides the Akismet spam filter. When a form is submitted, Akismet receives the name, the email address, the IP address, and browser details from that submission so that it can judge whether the message is spam.
• Porkbun, which provides our domain registration and our email service

We may also disclose information where the law requires it, or where it is needed to establish or defend a legal claim.

How long we keep it

We keep quote requests, the files sent with them, and the correspondence that follows while the enquiry is open, for the duration of any work that results from it, and afterwards for our business and tax records. Analytics data is held on Google's standard retention schedule. Server logs are kept by our host on its own schedule.

Security

The site is served over HTTPS. Access to the site administration and to the quote mailbox is limited to the people who need it. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we do not claim otherwise. If you have drawings that need protection beyond this, tell us before you send them.

Your choices and your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to ask us for a copy of the personal information we hold about you, to have it corrected, or to have it deleted. To make a request, email sales@schwantek.com. We may need to confirm who you are before we act on it.

You can prevent Google Analytics from measuring your visit with Google's opt-out browser add-on at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. Most browsers also let you block or delete cookies in their settings.

We do not sell personal information and we do not process it for targeted advertising, so there is no sale or sharing to opt out of. We do not currently respond to Do Not Track browser signals.

Children

This site is intended for business use. It is not directed to children, and we do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 16.

Where information is processed

We operate in the United States and information is processed there. If you contact us from another country, you are sending your information to the United States.

Changes to this policy

We will update this page when our practices change, and we will change the date at the top when we do.
