Privacy Policy

Midwest Paint and Stain is a locally owned painting, staining, and exterior services company based in Rapid City, South Dakota. This policy explains what information we collect when you contact us, why we collect it, and what we do with it.

The short version: we collect the contact information you give us so we can get back to you about an estimate. We do not sell it, and we do not share it with anyone outside of what it takes to run our business.

Information we collect

We only collect information you choose to give us. Depending on how you reach out, that may include:

You may give us this information through the estimate form on this website, by calling or texting us, by emailing us, or by filling out an estimate form attached to one of our ads on Facebook or Instagram.

Estimate forms on Facebook and Instagram

We sometimes run ads on Facebook and Instagram that include a built-in form where you can request an estimate without leaving the app. When you submit one of those forms, Meta passes the contact information you provided directly to us so that we can follow up with you.

Information you submit through a Meta form is also handled according to Meta's own privacy policy, which you can read at facebook.com/privacy/policy. We only receive what you submit on the form.

How we use your information

We use the information you give us to:

That is the whole list. We do not add you to a marketing list or send you promotional messages unless you have asked us to.

Calls and text messages

If you give us your phone number when requesting an estimate, you are agreeing that we may call or text you at that number about your request. Standard message and data rates from your carrier may apply. You can tell us to stop contacting you at any time by replying STOP to a text, or by simply telling us over the phone or by email — we will honor it.

Who we share information with

We do not sell your personal information, and we never have.

We share information only where it is necessary to operate:

Website analytics and advertising

This website uses Google Analytics to understand basic, anonymous information about how people find and use the site — things like which pages get visited and roughly what part of the country visitors come from. This is aggregate information and is not used to identify you personally. You can read how Google handles this data at policies.google.com/privacy.

We may also use advertising tools from Meta (Facebook and Instagram) to measure how well our ads perform and to show our ads to people in the Black Hills area. If we use these tools, they may set cookies in your browser. You can control ad personalization in your Facebook or Instagram account settings, and you can control cookies through your browser settings.

How long we keep it

We keep customer and estimate records for as long as we need them to serve you and to keep accurate business records. If you asked for an estimate and never became a customer, you are welcome to ask us to delete your information and we will.

Your choices

You can, at any time:

Just reach out using the contact information below. We are a small local crew, so a phone call or an email gets to a real person.

Children

Our services and this website are intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 13. If you believe a child has given us information, contact us and we will delete it.

Links to other sites

Our website and our social media pages may link to other websites we do not control. This policy does not cover those sites, and we are not responsible for their privacy practices.

Changes to this policy

If we change this policy, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. Any changes take effect when they are posted here.
