Privacy Policy
GFM Fiber (“us”, “we”, or “our”) operates the GFM Fiber website (the “Service”). This page informs you of our policies regarding the collection, use, and disclosure of personal data when you use our Service and the choices you have associated with that data.
We use your data to provide and improve the Service. By using the Service, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy.
Information Collection and Use
We collect several different types of information for various purposes to provide and improve our Service to you.
Types of Data Collected
Personal Data
While using our Service, particularly through our lead capture forms, chatbot, or when you call us, we may ask you to provide us with certain personally identifiable information that can be used to contact or identify you (“Personal Data”). Personally identifiable information may include, but is not limited to:
-
Name
-
Phone number
-
Zip code
-
Email address (if you provide it through our contact form)
-
Usage Data (e.g., IP address, browser type, pages visited, interaction with Google Ads)
Lead Data Collection for Services
When you submit your information through our lead capture forms (including chatbot or website forms) or by calling us in response to our advertisements (including Google Ads), we collect the details you provide (such as name, phone number, and zip code). This information is crucial for us to:
-
Respond to your inquiries about our fiber internet services.
-
Determine service availability at your location.
-
Provide you with quotes and details about relevant internet packages.
-
Follow up with you to assist in setting up services.
Your submission of this information constitutes your consent for us to contact you for these purposes.
Call Tracking and Recording for Google Ads and Service Quality
To measure the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns (including Google Ads) and to improve our customer service, we utilize call tracking technologies. When you call a phone number displayed on our website or in our advertisements, these services may capture information such as your phone number, the time and date of the call, call duration, and the source of the call (e.g., which ad you responded to).
For quality assurance and training purposes, calls may be recorded. If a call is being recorded, you will typically be notified at the beginning of the call or by a pre-recorded message. By continuing with the call after such notification, you consent to the recording. This data helps us optimize our advertising spend and enhance the customer experience.
Usage Data & Cookies (Google Ads Compliance)
We collect information on how the Service is accessed and used (“Usage Data”). This includes your computer’s IP address, browser type, browser version, the pages of our Service you visit, the time and date of your visit, time spent on those pages, and other diagnostic data.
We use cookies and similar tracking technologies (e.g., pixels) to track activity on our Service. This is essential for Google Ads functionality such as conversion tracking (to understand if an ad led to a desired action, like a call or form submission) and remarketing (to show targeted ads to you on other websites based on your past visits to our site).
You can manage your cookie preferences through our Cookie Consent Banner and your browser settings. For more information on how Google uses data, please visit Google’s Privacy & Terms site.
