Privacy Policy

Part 1 — This website

Western Construction of Lewiston (“WCI”, “we”, “us”) is a general contractor at 3900 Industrial Way, Lewiston, Idaho. This part of the policy covers wcilewiston.com — the public website, the quote and contact forms on it, and the online employment application at /careers/apply.

Reading the site collects nothing

There are no cookies on this website. There is no Google Analytics, no advertising pixel, no session recording, and no third-party tracking script of any kind. You can read every page here without giving us anything and without us building a profile of you.

Our host keeps ordinary server logs — the page requested, the time, the browser type and the IP address the request came from — because that is how a web server works and how attacks get blocked. We do not use those logs to identify individual visitors.

When you ask for a quote or send a message

The form collects your name, phone number and message, which are required so we can actually answer you, and optionally your email address, the service you need and the location of the work. The form also records the moment the page loaded, and carries a hidden field that real people never see. Both exist only to tell an automated spam submission from a person; they are not used to identify you.

We use what you send to reply to you, to price the work, and to keep a record of the inquiry. We do not add you to a mailing list.

When you apply for a job

The online application asks for the same information as the paper form WCI has always used. That includes your name and contact details, the position you want, your work authorization, your education, your employment history including previous pay and reasons for leaving, your licenses and certifications, military service, references, an emergency contact, your date of birth, and questions about criminal convictions, pending charges and probation or parole.

We collect it to evaluate you for employment, to check your references, and to meet the record-keeping obligations that apply to employers. We do not use it for anything else.

The sensitive answers are handled differently

Date of birth and the criminal-history questions are kept in a separate, restricted store. They are not written into the general application record, and they are not included in the email that tells the office an application has arrived. The database itself — not merely the screen — refuses to release them to anyone but a WCI administrator. Staff who review applications day to day cannot see them at all.

Your draft stays on your device

The application is long, so your answers are saved in your own browser as you go. That draft is stored on your device and nowhere else. Nothing is transmitted to us until you press submit, and the draft is erased from your browser once you do. If you abandon the form, we never receive what you typed.

Your signature

You sign by typing your name and ticking a box confirming you intend it as your signature. We record that name together with the date and time, and place it on the completed application. Under federal and Idaho law that constitutes a valid electronic signature, the same as signing the paper form.

Who else handles it

We do not sell your information, rent it, or share it for anyone else’s marketing. It is handled only by the service providers that make the site work, each acting on our instructions and for no purpose of their own:

• Vercel — serves the website and runs the code behind the forms.
• Supabase — hosts the database where inquiries and applications are stored, in the United States.
• Resend — delivers the notification emails to our office.
• Google — our email is Google Workspace, and a copy of each completed application is filed as a PDF in a WCI Google Drive folder.

We may also disclose information where the law requires it, or where we need to establish or defend a legal claim.

How it is protected

Traffic to and from this site is encrypted. Inquiries and applications are stored in a database with row-level security, so a signed-out or deactivated person cannot read anything at all, and the restriction on sensitive answers described above is enforced by the database rather than by the interface. Access to the office system requires a password or a Google sign-in, and only people who have been added to the staff list by an administrator can sign in. Every account is created deliberately; there is no public sign-up.

How long we keep it

Employment applications are kept for at least one year, because federal law requires employers to retain them for that long. We generally keep them longer so we can consider you for openings that come up later. Inquiries and quote requests are kept while the job is live and afterwards as a business record of work we bid.

We do not delete this information automatically. If you would like yours removed, ask us and we will remove it — including the record our system keeps of the deletion itself.

Your choices

Whether or not a privacy law entitles you to it, you may ask us to show you what we hold about you, correct anything that is wrong, or delete it. Write to the address at the bottom of this page and tell us enough to find your record. We will not treat you differently for asking.

Deleting an application means we can no longer consider you for a position, so if you are still interested in working here, say so and we will keep it.

Children

This website is not directed to children, and we do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 16. Applicants must be old enough to work lawfully in the trade they are applying for.

Changes

If we change how we handle any of this, we will update the effective date at the top of the page. The date above applies to both parts of this policy.

Part 2 — The WCI Grade Schedule staff app

The WCI Grade Schedule (the “app”) at schedule.wcilewiston.com is an internal tool operated by Western Construction of Lewiston (“WCI”, “we”, “us”). It exists so our field crew can see the week’s grade schedule and so superintendents can publish it. It is not a consumer product, it is not open to the public, and there is no way to sign up for it from outside the company.

Who this applies to

This policy covers current employees of WCI who have been added to the company crew roster by a supervisor. Nobody else has an account, and nobody else receives messages from us through this app.

What we collect

• Name — so the schedule can show who is working which job.
• Mobile phone number — recorded on the company crew roster as an employment record. It is used to text you only if you opt in yourself in the app; nobody consents on your behalf.
• Email address — optional, used only as a sign-in credential for the app.
• Role — crew, manager, or administrator, which controls what you can see and edit.
• Work assignments — the jobs and days you are scheduled for.

We do not collect location data, device identifiers, contacts, photos, or any information about you outside of work. There is no analytics tracking and no advertising technology in the app.

How we use it

Your information is used for one purpose: running the weekly work schedule. That means displaying the schedule to you and your coworkers, letting superintendents assign and change work, and sending you a text message when a week’s schedule is published.

Text messages

Texts are opt-in. The first time you sign in to the app you are shown a checkbox, unchecked by default, asking whether you would like a text when the weekly schedule is posted. You receive messages only if you tick it yourself. That is the only way to opt in — there is no public sign-up, no web form, and a supervisor cannot opt you in. Messages arrive about once a week. Message and data rates may apply. Reply STOP at any time to stop receiving them, or HELP for help.

Opting out of texts does not affect your access to the app or your employment.

No mobile information will be shared with third parties or affiliates for marketing or promotional purposes. All of the above categories exclude text messaging originator opt-in data and consent; this information will not be shared with any third parties.

Who we share it with

We do not sell your information, rent it, or share it for anyone else’s marketing. We share it only with the service providers that make the app run:

• Supabase — hosts the database and handles sign-in.
• Vercel — serves the web page itself.
• Twilio — delivers the text messages.

Each of these processes data on our behalf in order to provide their service, and for no other purpose. We may also disclose information if we are legally required to.

How it is protected

Access requires a password and an active roster entry. The database enforces row-level security, so a signed-out or deactivated person cannot read anything at all. Traffic is encrypted in transit. Administrative permissions — changing roles or sign-in accounts — are restricted to super administrators and enforced by the database itself, not just by the interface.

How long we keep it

Roster entries are kept while you are employed and for a reasonable period afterward for record keeping. Published schedules are retained as a record of work performed. Text message logs are kept so we can confirm whether a notification actually reached you.

Your choices

You can ask us to correct your name, phone number, or email at any time, and you can ask to see what we hold about you. Reply STOP to any message to end texts. To have your roster entry deactivated, speak to your supervisor or contact us below.

Children

The app is for WCI employees and is not directed to anyone under 16.

Changes

If this policy changes we will update the effective date above.
