Virginia Equipment & Development, Inc., doing business under the VED Civil brand, respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, retain, and protect information when you visit www.vedcivil.com, contact us through the website, request information about our services, communicate with us, or submit career-related information.
This Privacy Policy applies to information collected through the website and related online communications. It does not replace any separate privacy notice, employment notice, contract, subcontract, safety policy, insurance requirement, or other written agreement that may apply to a particular project, employment relationship, vendor relationship, or business transaction.
The website is operated by Virginia Equipment & Development, Inc., a Virginia-based site development and civil construction contractor.
We collect information that you choose to provide, information generated by your use of the website, and information that may be provided by service providers or business partners in connection with the website.
You should not submit sensitive personal information, confidential project documents, proprietary plans, regulated information, safety-critical information, or legally privileged information through the website unless we specifically request it and appropriate safeguards have been agreed in writing
We use information for legitimate business, operational, recruiting, security, legal, and communication purposes. These purposes may include responding to project inquiries, evaluating potential work, communicating with clients and prospective clients, coordinating internal follow-up, maintaining website functionality, improving website content, supporting recruiting activities, protecting against fraud or misuse, and complying with legal obligations.
The website may use cookies and similar technologies to operate the site, remember preferences, understand visitor activity, improve performance, secure the website, prevent spam, and support analytics. Cookies are small files placed on your device by a website or related service provider.
You can usually control cookies through your browser settings. If you block or delete cookies, some parts of the website may not function properly. Some browsers also offer "Do Not Track" signals; because there is not a universally accepted standard for responding to such signals, the website may not respond to them in a uniform manner.
We do not disclose personal information for purposes unrelated to our business without a lawful basis or appropriate consent. We do not knowingly sell personal information in exchange for money. We also do not knowingly share personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising unless we provide any notices and choices required by applicable law.
If you submit career-related information, we may use it to evaluate your qualifications, communicate with you about employment opportunities, maintain applicant records, conduct lawful screening, verify information, comply with employment laws, and support recruiting operations. Applicant information may include information in your resume, cover letter, job application, certifications, licenses, references, employment history, driving-related qualifications, and other information you choose to provide or that is collected during the hiring process.
Certain roles may require additional lawful screening or verification, such as reference checks, verification of licenses or certifications, driver qualification review, pre-employment drug screening, background checks, safety training verification, or other job-related assessments. Any such process will be handled in accordance with applicable law and any additional notices or authorizations that may be required.
We retain information for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, including responding to inquiries, maintaining business records, evaluating potential projects, managing recruiting, resolving disputes, enforcing agreements, complying with legal obligations, and protecting our rights.
Retention periods vary depending on the type of information, the context in which it was collected, legal requirements, business needs, and whether the information relates to a prospective project, active project, applicant, employee, vendor, claim, dispute, or regulatory matter. When information is no longer needed, we may delete, de-identify, aggregate, or archive it in accordance with our records practices.
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect information against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, alteration, and disclosure. However, no website, email system, hosting environment, form submission, or internet transmission is completely secure. You should use caution when deciding what information to submit online and should avoid sending sensitive or confidential information through general website forms unless appropriate safeguards have been arranged.
You may contact us to request access to, correction of, deletion of, or other action regarding personal information that we maintain about you, subject to applicable law, verification requirements, exceptions, and recordkeeping obligations. You may also ask us to stop sending non-essential communications, although we may still send transactional, legal, safety, recruiting, or business communications where appropriate.
Residents of certain states may have additional privacy rights under applicable law. Depending on where you live and whether a particular law applies to VED Civil, those rights may include the right to access personal information, correct inaccurate information, delete personal information, obtain a portable copy of personal information, opt out of certain targeted advertising or sale practices, limit certain uses of sensitive information, or appeal a privacy-rights decision.
To exercise a privacy request, contact us at info@vedcivil.com or by mail at the address listed in this policy. We may need to verify your identity and the scope of your request before responding. We will not discriminate against you for exercising privacy rights provided by applicable law.
