Privacy policy

Last updated: October 19, 2026

This policy explains what Barzel Metal Works LLC ("we", "us") collects when you visit barzelmetalworks.com, ask for a quote, or buy from us, and what we do with it. Questions: [email protected] or 848-986-6481. Our address is 436 W Commodore Blvd, Unit 10, Jackson, NJ 08527.

What we collect

What you give us. Your name, email, phone, shipping address, and anything you send for a quote (measurements, photos, notes). When you order, we keep what you bought, the price and the delivery details.

Payments. Card and bank payments are handled by Stripe. Your full card or bank account number goes to Stripe, not to us. We see the card brand, the last four digits and the expiry date. If you ask us to keep a card on file for a deposit or an invoice, Stripe stores it and we use it only for that job.

When you browse. The pages you visit and for how long, the website or ad that sent you, your device and browser type, and your IP address with the rough location it shows (city and state). We use two small cookies of our own: one keeps your cart (bz_cart) and one counts your visits (bz_vid).

Fraud checks. When you pay, we save the IP address, device details and Stripe's risk check, so we can answer a disputed charge.

How we use it

• To build, ship and support your order, and to answer your questions.
• To email you about your order: confirmation, build started, finished, shipped, delivered, and one review request. If you type your email at checkout and do not finish, we may send one reminder.
• To stop fraud and to keep tax and accounting records.
• To fix problems on the site and to see which ads work.

We do not sell your personal information for money.

Who we share it with

Only the companies that help us run the business, and only what each one needs:

• Cloudflare hosts the website and our order records.
• Stripe takes payments and screens them for fraud.
• Google runs our business email and Google Analytics, measures our Google ads, and lists our products on Google Shopping.
• Meta (Facebook and Instagram): the Meta pixel measures our Facebook and Instagram ads.
• Microsoft Clarity shows us how pages are used (clicks and scrolling) so we can fix what is confusing. It hides what you type.
• ShipBoss, UPS, FedEx and freight carriers get your name, address and phone to deliver your order.
• Our accountant, and government agencies when the law requires it.

Under some state laws, the Google, Meta and Clarity tools can count as "sharing" or "targeted advertising". You can turn them off (below).

Your choices

• Turn off ad and session tracking: use our opt-out page. On that browser it switches off the Meta pixel and Clarity, tells Google not to use your visit for ads, and stops our own visit log from keeping your IP address or location. If your browser sends Global Privacy Control, we treat it the same way automatically.
• Emails: every reminder and review request can be stopped by replying or by writing to [email protected].
• See, correct or delete your information: email [email protected] from the address you used with us. We answer within 45 days. We keep order, invoice and tax records for as long as the law requires, even if you ask us to delete the rest.

How long we keep it

• Visitor IP addresses: wiped after 30 days.
• Carts that were never bought: deleted after 60 days.
• The record of steps taken on the site: deleted after 13 months.
• Orders, invoices and payment records: 7 years, for taxes.

Security

The site runs only over HTTPS. Your order page and invoice links carry a private code that cannot be guessed. Our back office is reachable only by us, behind a sign-in with a second step.

Children

The site is not meant for children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect their information.

Changes

If we change this policy, we update the date at the top. Changes that matter are noted on this page.
