Privacy Policy

Information We Collect

• Contact details you provide in our forms: name, email, phone number, and project information (location, square footage, budget range, financing status, land ownership, timeline).
• Calculator inputs: project specifications and design preferences you enter.
• Device and usage data: IP address, browser type, pages visited, and referral sources.
• Public records data we may associate with your contact information, such as property records, to better understand your project (e.g., estimated property values, lot size).

How We Use Your Information

• Responding to your inquiry and providing estimates
• Following up about your project by phone, email, and text
• Matching you with service providers relevant to your project (see "How We Share Your Information" below)
• Improving our services and marketing

How We Share Your Information

Service providers

We share information with companies that process it on our behalf (e.g., our CRM, email delivery, and analytics providers) under contracts that restrict their use of your data.

Partners you choose

Building a custom home involves many service providers. Based on your answers when you submit a form, we may share your contact and project information with the following categories of partners so they can contact you about their services:

• Building suppliers and kit providers (companies that sell steel building kits, barndominium packages, and materials)
• Construction financing partners (lenders who finance custom home and barndominium projects)
• Builders and contractors in your area or project region
• Real estate professionals (agents who specialize in land and lot purchases)

We may receive compensation when we connect you with a partner. We only share with a partner category if you told us you want that kind of help — for example, asking us to help you find financing or connect you with kit suppliers. If you didn't ask, we don't share — period.

We do not sell your information to data brokers, advertising networks, or anyone else not described in this policy.

Under some state laws (including California and Texas), sharing information with partners who compensate us is considered a "sale" or "sharing." You can opt out at any time by emailing [email protected], and you can decline at collection by simply not asking to be connected.

Other disclosures

We may disclose information if required by law, to enforce our terms, or in connection with a business transfer (merger, acquisition, or sale of assets).

SMS / Text Message and Phone Communications

If you agree to receive texts, Barnhaus may contact you by text message and phone regarding your inquiry, using automated technology. Message frequency varies. Standard message and data rates may apply. Reply STOP to opt out or HELP for help.

If you ask us to connect you with a partner, partners in that category may also contact you by phone or text about their services. You can opt out of any partner's communications by replying STOP to their messages or contacting us, and we will stop sharing your information with that category.

Your Rights

You have the right to:

• Opt out of communications at any time (reply STOP, or email us)
• Withdraw partner-sharing consent at any time
• Request a copy of the information we hold about you
• Request deletion of your information
• Correct inaccurate information

To exercise any of these rights, contact [email protected]. We respond within 30 days.

Data Retention

We keep lead information as long as it's useful for our business relationship or as required by law. You can request deletion at any time.

Security

We use industry-standard safeguards, but no system is perfectly secure.

Changes to This Policy

We'll post updates here with a new "Last Updated" date. Material changes will be highlighted on this page.
