Privacy Policy

Effective Date: August 31, 2026

Associated Wiring Solutions (“AWS,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) respects your privacy and is committed to protecting the personal information you provide through our website.

This Privacy Policy explains what information we may collect through our website, how we use and protect that information, and the choices available to individuals who provide information to us.

1. Information We Collect

We may collect personal information that you voluntarily provide when you contact AWS, submit a contractor inquiry, complete an online form, or otherwise communicate with us through our website.

Depending on the form or inquiry, this information may include:

Company or business name
Email address
Telephone number
City and state
Contractor or business information
Work and fiber installation experience
Equipment and transportation information
Project preferences
Information regarding your ability to complete contractor onboarding requirements
Any additional information you choose to provide in a form or message

AWS does not request Social Security numbers, banking information, or other highly sensitive financial information through the initial contractor inquiry form.

If an individual or company proceeds to formal subcontractor onboarding, additional information may be requested separately as necessary to establish and administer the business relationship.

2. How We Use Information

Information submitted through our website may be used to:

Review and evaluate contractor and subcontractor inquiries
Determine whether an individual or company may meet current or future project requirements
Contact prospective contractors regarding opportunities
Coordinate contractor onboarding
Respond to questions or requests
Maintain business and contractor records
Communicate regarding current or future AWS projects
Improve our website, forms, services, and recruiting processes
Protect AWS, our website, our clients, and our business operations
Comply with applicable legal, regulatory, contractual, or recordkeeping requirements

Submission of a contractor inquiry does not guarantee selection, onboarding, assignment of work, or any particular amount or duration of work.

3. Independent Contractor Inquiries

Information submitted through the AWS Fiber Contractor Prequalification Form is collected for the purpose of evaluating potential independent contractors and subcontracting companies.

The contractor inquiry form is not an application for W-2 employment. Information provided through the form may be reviewed by authorized AWS personnel involved in contractor selection, operations, project management, administration, or onboarding.

AWS may retain information from qualified contractors for consideration for future projects unless the individual requests otherwise or applicable law requires a different retention period.

4. How Information May Be Shared

AWS does not sell personal information submitted through our contractor inquiry or contact forms.

We may share information when reasonably necessary with:

Authorized AWS personnel
Service providers that support our website, forms, communications, data storage, or business operations
Professional advisors or service providers assisting AWS
Clients, project partners, or other parties when reasonably necessary for contractor qualification, onboarding, or project administration
Government agencies, regulators, law enforcement, courts, or other parties when required by law or necessary to protect legal rights

Service providers may process information only as necessary to provide services to AWS or as otherwise permitted by their applicable agreements and privacy practices.

5. Website Hosting and Forms

Our website is hosted using Wix.com and may utilize Wix tools for website hosting, forms, communications, analytics, and related website functionality.

Information submitted through our website may therefore be processed or stored using Wix or other technology providers that support AWS's website and business operations.

Those providers maintain their own privacy and security practices.

6. Cookies and Website Analytics

Our website may use cookies and similar technologies necessary for website functionality, security, performance, and analytics.

Depending on the services enabled on the website, certain technologies may collect information such as:

IP address
Browser type
Device information
Pages visited
Approximate location
Referring website
Date and time of website activity
Website interaction information

Where required by applicable law, visitors may be provided with options regarding non-essential cookies or similar tracking technologies.

7. Data Security

AWS takes reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures designed to protect personal information from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, misuse, or loss.

However, no website, electronic transmission, or electronic storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

Individuals should not submit Social Security numbers, banking information, passwords, or other sensitive information through general website contact or contractor inquiry forms unless specifically instructed to do so through an approved secure process.

8. Data Retention

AWS may retain information for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, including contractor consideration, business administration, recordkeeping, legal compliance, dispute resolution, and future project opportunities.

Information that is no longer reasonably necessary may be deleted, anonymized, or otherwise disposed of in accordance with AWS's business and legal requirements.

9. Privacy Requests

Depending on applicable law, individuals may have rights concerning personal information maintained about them, which may include requesting access to, correction of, or deletion of certain information.

To submit a privacy-related request, please contact AWS using the contact information provided below.

AWS may need to verify the identity of the person making a request before completing certain requests.

10. Third-Party Websites

The AWS website may contain links to websites or services operated by third parties.

AWS is not responsible for the privacy practices, security, or content of third-party websites. Visitors should review the privacy policies of any third-party websites they choose to visit.

11. Children's Privacy

The AWS website and contractor inquiry process are intended for business and professional purposes and are not directed toward children under 13.

AWS does not knowingly solicit personal information from children through its contractor inquiry process.

12. Changes to This Privacy Policy
