Privacy Policy

Last Updated: August 27, 2025

 

First Solar Mowing, Inc. (FSM, Inc.) is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and share personal information when you visit our website (firstsolarmowing.com) or otherwise interact with us, as well as your rights and choices regarding that information. By using our website or submitting information to us, you agree to the terms of this Privacy Policy.

​​

​

Information We Collect

 

Personal Information You Provide: We collect personal information that you voluntarily provide through our website, for example when you fill out our contact form. This may include:

​

• Contact Details: Your first and last name, email address, phone number, and company or organization name.​

• Address Information: A physical or mailing address, if you choose to provide it for contact or quote purposes.​

• Message Content: Any details or information you include in the text of your request or message (e.g. details about your project or service needs).

 

Providing this information is optional, but it may be necessary for us to respond to your inquiries or provide our services (such as offering a mowing service quote).

​

Information Collected Automatically: When you visit our site, we (or our website provider) may automatically collect certain information about your device and usage of the site. This data may include:

​

• Technical Data: Your Internet Protocol (IP) address, browser type, operating system, device type, and similar technical information.

• Usage Data: Pages you visit on our site, the amount of time spent on pages, links clicked, and the date/time of your visits.

• Referring Data: The webpage that led you to our site (for instance, a search engine or referring link).

 

This information is collected through cookies and other tracking technologies (explained below) and by our web hosting platform (Wix). We collect this usage data to help us understand how visitors use our site and to maintain the security and functionality of the website. This automatically collected data generally does not identify you by name, and we do not link it to the personal information you provide in the contact form.

​

We do not collect any sensitive personal information through our website (such as Social Security numbers, credit card numbers, or financial account details), since we do not process transactions or allow account registrations on our site.

​​

​

How We Collect Information

​

• Directly from You: Most of the personal information we have is collected when you directly provide it to us. For example, when you fill out and submit the contact form on our website, you are providing your name, contact details, and any message information to us. We use Wix Forms (the form provided by our website platform) to gather this information.

​​

• Through Our Website (Automatically): As you navigate and interact with our site, our system and third-party tools may collect technical and usage information automatically. This happens through technologies like cookies, as well as Wix’s built-in site analytics and monitoring tools. For instance, our host may log your IP address when you visit the site, and track visitor behavior in aggregate to analyze site performance.

 

We do not use any other apps or third-party services on our site beyond Wix’s default features. There are no user accounts or login sections on our website, so we will never ask you to create a password or username.

​​

​

Why We Collect Personal Information

 

We collect and use personal information for the following purposes:

​

• To Provide and Operate Our Services: We gather information to respond to your inquiries and provide our lawn mowing services. For example, if you request a quote or more information, we use your contact details and any project details you provided to prepare and deliver an appropriate response or service offer.

​​

• Communication: We use your information to communicate with you. This includes contacting you via phone or email to discuss your request, answer questions, schedule services, or provide a quote. We will only contact you in relation to your specific inquiry or to provide customer support, not for unsolicited marketing (unless you have separately opted in, as explained below).

​​

• Site Functionality and Analytics: Automatically collected data (like IP address and browsing activity) is used to maintain and improve our website. It helps us troubleshoot technical issues, secure the site against fraud or abuse, and understand what portions of our website are most interesting to visitors. This analysis is typically done on an aggregate basis (e.g., total visitors per week, popular pages) and does not focus on individual users.

​​

• Legal and Compliance: In certain cases, we may need to process personal information to comply with legal obligations or requirements. For example, we may retain correspondence or contact details if needed to meet record-keeping requirements, enforce our agreements, or resolve disputes. If necessary, we might use or disclose information to protect our rights, safety, or property, or that of our customers or others (for instance, fraud prevention or addressing a legal request from authorities).

 

We do not use the information you provide for any purposes unrelated to our mowing services and the operation of our website. Specifically, we do not sell your personal data or use it for third-party marketing purposes.

​​

​

Cookies and Tracking Technologies

 

Our site uses cookies and similar tracking technologies as part of its normal operation. When you visit firstsolarmowing.com, some small data files called cookies may be placed on your browser by our website platform (Wix). These cookies serve a few important functions:

​

• Essential Cookies: Some cookies are necessary for the website to function correctly. They may be used for security (for example, to help protect the site from malicious visitors) and to enable core features of the site. Since our site is built on Wix, it will use certain standard Wix cookies that support login sessions (even though we have no user login, Wix may set cookies for general platform needs) and overall site stability.

​​

• Analytics/Performance Cookies: We may use cookies to understand how visitors engage with our site. Wix provides basic analytics that might use cookies or similar means to track visitor activity (such as which pages are viewed, and for how long). The information collected is used in aggregate to improve our website design, content, and user experience.

 

Importantly, we do not use any third-party advertising cookies or tracking pixels (such as Google Analytics, Google AdSense, Facebook Pixel, etc.) on our website. This means we are not collecting data for advertising networks.

​

You have control over cookies. Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline cookies or alert you when cookies are being placed. Keep in mind that disabling cookies entirely may affect some functionality of our site (for example, some pages might not remember preferences or may load slower).

​

For more detailed information about what cookies Wix uses by default on websites, you can refer to Wix’s support resources or Privacy Policy. By using our site without disabling cookies, you consent to our use of cookies as described above.

​​

​

How We Share and Disclose Information

 

We treat your personal information with care and confidentiality. We do not sell, rent, or trade your information with unrelated third parties for their promotional purposes. However, we do share certain information with third parties in the following circumstances:

​

• Service Providers: We may share your information with third-party service providers and partners who help us operate our website or provide our services. The primary example is our website hosting/design provider Wix.com. Our company’s website is hosted on the Wix platform, which means any data you submit through the site (such as form entries) may be stored on Wix’s servers. Wix provides us with the online platform to run our website, and they store data in their databases and applications. These service providers (like Wix) are contractually bound to protect your data and use it only for the services they provide to us. We may also share information with other providers only as needed — for example, an email service to send communications or a cloud storage service for maintaining records — but in all cases, we limit the data shared and ensure these providers safeguard your privacy.

​​

• Legal Compliance and Protection: We may disclose personal information if we believe it is necessary to: comply with a law, regulation, or legal request (such as a court order or subpoena); enforce or apply our own agreements or policies; protect our rights or property; protect the safety of our users or others; or investigate fraud or security issues. For instance, if required by law enforcement with the proper authority, we might have to provide contact information that you submitted. We will only do so when we are legally obligated or allowed, and we will limit the information to what is required.

​​

• Business Transfers: In the unlikely event that FSM, Inc. goes through a business transition such as a merger, acquisition, or sale of some or all assets, the personal information we have collected may be among the assets transferred. This means your information could be transferred to the control of a third party as part of such a transaction. If this happens, we will ensure that the successor entity is bound to respect the terms of this Privacy Policy (or you will be given notice and a chance to opt-out of the transfer of your information, if required by law).

 

In all cases where we share your information with service providers or other third parties, we share only the information necessary for those third parties to perform their services or fulfill the stated purpose. We also require that they protect your information and use it only for the specific purpose it was provided.

​​

​

Data Storage and Security

 

We take reasonable measures to protect the security of your personal information. First Solar Mowing’s website is hosted on Wix.com, which provides a secure infrastructure for our online presence. Personal data collected through our site may be stored in Wix’s data storage and databases. Wix stores data on secure servers protected by firewalls, and the platform maintains industry-standard security practices to safeguard information. Our website is served over HTTPS, meaning that data transmitted between your browser and our site is encrypted via Secure Socket Layer (SSL/TLS).

​

In addition to relying on Wix’s secure platform, we implement our own organizational and technical measures to protect your data. This includes limiting access to personal information (only authorized personnel of FSM, Inc. who need the information to perform a specific job will have access), and keeping our systems and software up to date with security patches.

​

Despite our efforts to protect your personal data, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. Therefore, we cannot guarantee absolute security. You should also take care with how you handle and disclose your own personal information. If you have reason to believe that your interaction with us is no longer secure (for example, if you suspect that the security of data you provided has been compromised), please contact us immediately using the information provided in the Contact Us section below, so we can investigate and resolve the issue.

​​

​

Data Retention

 

We retain personal information for only as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, or as required by law. The duration for which we keep data can depend on the type of information and the purpose for which it was provided:

​

• Contact Form Submissions: If you submit your information to request a quote or ask a question, we will retain that information for as long as it is needed to respond to you and for a reasonable period thereafter in case you have additional questions or follow-up needs. If you become a customer, we may retain your information for the duration of our business relationship and for a period after to maintain records (such as for invoices or service history).

​

• Analytics Data: Data collected automatically (like site visit logs) is generally retained in aggregate form. We might periodically review and delete or anonymize logs that are no longer needed for security or analysis.

​​

• Legal Retention Requirements: We may need to retain certain information for longer periods if necessary to comply with legal obligations or for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims. For example, if a legal issue arises, relevant information may be retained until the issue is resolved.

 

When we no longer have a legitimate need or legal obligation to keep your personal information, we will securely delete or anonymize it. If it is not feasible (for example, if your data is stored in backup archives), then we will securely store your information and isolate it from any further use until deletion is possible.

​​

​

Communications and Opt-Out

 

By providing your contact information (such as email or phone number) to us through our website, you consent to receive communications from us related to your inquiry or service. We may contact you in the following contexts:

​

• Service and Inquiry Responses: After you submit a form or otherwise request information, we will contact you via email or phone to respond to your request. For example, we might call or email you to discuss the details of a mowing service and provide a quote.

​​

• Administrative or Transactional Communications: If you engage our services, we may send communications necessary to carry out our obligations. This could include confirmation of scheduled service dates, invoicing information, or follow-ups to ensure customer satisfaction. Such communications are not promotional in nature; they are part of our service delivery.

​​

• Future Marketing Communications: As of now, we do not send newsletters or general marketing emails. If in the future we decide to send updates about our company, promotions, or other marketing content, we will always provide a clear way to opt out of or unsubscribe from marketing messages.

 

Opt-Out: If you receive a marketing or promotional email from us and no longer wish to, you can opt out at any time. An unsubscribe link or instructions will be included in any such email, allowing you to remove yourself from our mailing list. Alternatively, you can contact us directly (via email or the contact form) and request that we stop sending you marketing communications. We will process your opt-out request as soon as possible.

​

Opting out of marketing messages will not affect our communications with you for non-marketing purposes. For example, we may still need to email or call you regarding an ongoing service or a quote you requested, even if you have unsubscribed from general marketing emails.

 

We do not engage in text message marketing or automated phone calls. We will only call you or text you if it’s directly related to scheduling or discussing your service request, and such contact will typically be person-to-person.

​​

​

Your Rights and Choices

 

You have certain rights and choices regarding the personal information you provide to us. We want to empower you to control your data and make informed decisions about its use. Key rights include:

​

• Access and Correction: You have the right to request access to the personal information we hold about you. This means you can ask us to confirm what data we have about you and to provide you with a copy of that data. If any of your personal information is incorrect or has changed (for example, you want to update your phone number), you have the right to request a correction or update.

​​

• Deletion (Right to Erasure): You can request that we delete the personal information we have collected from you. If you want us to remove your data from our records (for instance, if you previously contacted us and would like your inquiry and contact details erased), we will honor such requests to the extent possible. If you don’t want us to process your data anymore, please contact us using the information provided in the Contact Us section below to request deletion/erasure. Do note that we may need to retain certain information when required by law or for legitimate business purposes (e.g. retaining an invoice for accounting), but we will let you know if that is the case.

​​

• Withdrawal of Consent: In situations where our processing of your personal information is based on your consent, you have the right to withdraw that consent at any time. For example, if you signed up for a hypothetical future newsletter and then change your mind, you can withdraw your consent (unsubscribe) and we will stop that specific processing. Withdrawal of consent will not affect any processing that has already occurred, but it will stop future processing.

​​

• Object or Restrict (if applicable): If we were to engage in any data processing activities that you object to, you have the right to object to certain types of processing. Similarly, you can ask us to restrict processing of your information in certain circumstances (for instance, if you contest the accuracy of your data, you can request we pause processing until the issue is resolved). Currently, we do not perform any processing likely to trigger these rights aside from basic communications, but we include this for completeness.

 

To exercise any of these rights, you can contact us using the information provided in the Contact Us section below. For example, you can email us to request a copy of your data, or ask us to delete your information from our contacts. We may ask you to verify your identity (to ensure we don’t disclose your data to someone else) before fulfilling your request. There is no fee for making such requests, though if a request is unfounded or excessive (unlikely in our case), we might reserve the right to deny it as allowed by law.

​

We will do our best to respond to any privacy-related requests promptly and within any timeframes required by law. If you have any concerns about your data or how it’s handled, please reach out and we will work to address them.

​​

​

Children's Privacy

 

Protecting the privacy of children is especially important. Our website and services are not directed to children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 13 years old. The content of our site (information about commercial solar site mowing services) is generally not of interest to children, and we do not market to or target minors.

​

If you are under 13, please do not submit any personal information on our site. If a parent or guardian becomes aware that their child under 13 has provided us with personal information, please contact us immediately using the information provided in the Contact Us section below. We will take steps to delete the information as soon as possible. In any case, if we discover that we have inadvertently collected personal data from a child under 13, we will promptly delete that data from our records.

​

For minors above 13 but under 18, we advise that they seek parental consent before providing any personal information online. Though our services are business-oriented and not aimed at individuals in that age range, we want to ensure a safe and appropriate experience for all users.

​​

​

Changes to This Privacy Policy

 

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technologies, legal requirements, or for other operational reasons. When we update the policy, we will revise the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page. Any changes will become effective when we post the revised Privacy Policy on our website.

​

If we make any material changes (significant changes) to how we collect, use, or share your personal information, we will provide a more prominent notice of the change. For example, we might display an alert on our website’s homepage or send an email notification if we believe it is appropriate, and we have your email on file. We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically to stay informed about our data practices.

​

Your continued use of our website after any changes to this Privacy Policy have been posted will be considered acceptance of those changes, to the extent permitted by law.
