This policy describes what information the Site handles, why, who helps us process it, and the choices and rights you may have.
01Who we are and scope
This Privacy Policy explains how Summerset Marine Construction, LLC ("Summerset," "we," "us") handles personal information in connection with piers-lifts.com (the "Site"), an inventory catalog of pre-owned piers and boat lifts. It applies to this Site; it does not automatically apply to other Summerset websites, which may have their own policies, or to third-party sites.
02Information we collect
- Inquiries. When you voluntarily call or email us, we receive the contact information and message content you provide, such as your name, phone number, email address and details about equipment you are interested in. The Site has no public signup or online checkout.
- Staff accounts. For authorized staff who sign in with Google, we process the account email address, Google account identifier, assigned roles, session information, and audit logs of access and changes made in administration tools.
- Technical information. When anyone visits the Site, our hosting infrastructure receives information such as IP address, browser and device details, requested pages, timestamps, and security and error logs.
- Listing content. Inventory photographs and descriptions are used to create listings. Photos may incidentally include people, vehicles, property or other potentially identifying details.
03How we use information
We use information to:
- respond to inquiries and provide sales and service follow-up;
- manage inventory and publish public listings and staff-supplied photographs;
- operate, maintain, secure and troubleshoot the Site;
- manage staff access, roles and change audit records;
- comply with legal obligations and protect our rights.
We do not sell, rent or trade personal information to third parties for their marketing purposes.
04Service providers
We use service providers that process information on our behalf for the functions below. Their handling of information is also governed by their own policies.

Staff-supplied inventory photographs are copied from Google Drive into website storage and optimized for display. Source photographs remain in Drive. The current photo workflow does not send images to an AI generation service.
07When we disclose information
We disclose personal information only:
- to service providers processing it on our behalf as described above;
- when required by law, legal process or governmental request;
- when reasonably necessary to protect the rights, property, safety or security of Summerset, our customers, the Site or others;
- in connection with a merger, acquisition, financing, reorganization or sale of assets, subject to appropriate confidentiality safeguards, with this policy continuing to apply to the information transferred unless you are notified otherwise as required by law.
Public listings, including photographs, are visible to anyone who visits the Site.
08Retention
We retain information for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described here, considering the category of information and our business, legal, accounting and security needs. Records are retained for business and legal purposes. When information is no longer needed we delete or de-identify it, subject to lawful record-keeping obligations and the time it takes for routine backups to cycle out.
09Security
We use reasonable measures designed to protect information, including access controls and secure Google sign-in limited to authorized company accounts. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
10Where information is processed
Our service providers may process information in locations outside your state or country, where laws may differ. Where required, such processing is subject to applicable safeguards.
11Your privacy rights
Depending on where you live and the laws that apply, you may have rights to access, correct, delete or obtain a copy of your personal information, to restrict or object to certain processing, and to withdraw consent where processing is based on consent. These rights vary and do not apply universally.
To make a request, email info@summersetmarine.com. We will verify requests in a manner proportionate to the sensitivity of the information, and we accept requests from authorized agents where the law requires. We will not discriminate against you for exercising applicable privacy rights. Where applicable, you may also have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection authority or regulator.
