Your privacy
Privacy policy
What this website collects, which cookies it uses, and how you stay in control.
Effective and last updated: November 10, 2026
Summary
- We do not use analytics, advertising pixels, session recordings or heatmaps on this website.
- Nothing optional loads until you click “Yes, accept tracking”. No answer, or “No”, means it stays off.
- The only optional content is our TintWiz online scheduler on the Book now page. You can also open it in a new tab or just call us.
- If you send us a message through a form, Formspree delivers it to us so we can reply.
- We do not sell your information. Change your choice anytime with Privacy preferences at the bottom of every page.
Who we are
This website (www.samswindowtinting.com) is run by Sam's Window Tinting, 11 Dumont Ave, Dumont, NJ 07628. Phone: NY (845) 624-9379, NJ (201) 771-7711. In this policy, “we”, “us” and “our” mean Sam's Window Tinting. This policy covers this website only.
What we collect and how
Information you give us in our forms
Our “Send us a message” forms ask for your name, phone number, email address and a message. The form on the Book now page also asks which service you are interested in and for vehicle or project details. The short forms at the bottom of our other pages also send the name of the page they were sent from, so we know which service you were reading about. Nothing is sent until you press the button to send the form.
Information you enter in the online scheduler
If you use the TintWiz scheduler (see Service providers), the details you enter there go to TintWiz and to us so we can arrange your appointment.
Information collected automatically
This website runs on our own web server, a virtual server we rent from Linode (part of Akamai) in the United States. Pages are sent to you directly from that server, not through Cloudflare or any other content delivery network. Like almost every website, the server automatically keeps standard logs of each request: your IP address, browser type (user agent), the page requested, the referring page, the response and the date and time. We use these server logs only to run and secure the site. They are not used for analytics or advertising and are deleted automatically after 14 days.
Your privacy choice
When you click Yes or No in Privacy preferences, the site stores your choice in one small cookie (see Cookies).
Cookies and similar technologies
The website itself sets only one cookie, which is strictly necessary. It does not store any tracking identifiers in your browser's storage. If you click Yes, the TintWiz scheduler loads on the Book now page and its provider sets its own cookies inside the scheduler. These are the cookies we observed when testing the site on November 10, 2026:
| Name | Provider | Purpose | Category | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|---|
tracking_consent | Sam's Window Tinting (this site) | Remembers whether you chose Yes or No, and when. No personal information. | Essential | 180 days |
tintwiz_session | TintWiz (app.tintwiz.com) | Keeps the scheduler working while you fill it in. | Optional: only after Yes | About 2 weeks |
XSRF-TOKEN | TintWiz (app.tintwiz.com) | Security: protects the scheduler form against forged submissions. | Optional: only after Yes | About 2 weeks |
cf_clearance | Cloudflare, for TintWiz (tintwiz.com) | Security: records that your browser passed Cloudflare's automated bot check. | Optional: only after Yes | Up to 1 year |
When the scheduler loads, it also downloads a font from Google Fonts and runs a Cloudflare security check, which sends technical information about your browser to Cloudflare. Third-party providers can change their cookies at any time. Their own policies apply to them.
Your choice: how consent works here
- Nothing optional before Yes. Optional cookies and third-party content are blocked from the first page you load. They load only after you click “Yes, accept tracking”.
- No, or no answer, means off. Clicking “No, reject tracking”, closing or ignoring the banner, scrolling or browsing never counts as consent. If your saved choice is missing, expired or unreadable, everything optional stays off and we ask again.
- Your choice is remembered on every page of this site for 180 days, then we ask again.
- Change your mind anytime with the Privacy preferences link at the bottom of every page.
- What withdrawing does: if you switch from Yes to No, optional content stops (the page reloads if anything optional was running), and the site deletes any tracking cookies and stored identifiers it is able to reach. It cannot delete cookies that a third party set on its own domain, such as the TintWiz and Cloudflare cookies listed above. You can remove those in your browser's settings.
How we use your information
- To answer your questions, prepare quotes and schedule and carry out your appointment.
- To contact you about your request by phone or email, using the details you gave us.
- To keep the website running, secure and protected against abuse (server logs).
We do not use your information for automated decisions or profiling.
Advertising and analytics
This website currently uses no analytics, advertising or remarketing tools, social media pixels, session recordings or heatmaps. If we add any in the future, we will update this policy, and they will load only after you click “Yes, accept tracking”.
Service providers and other websites
- Formspree receives the messages you send through our forms and delivers them to us. When you send a form, your browser sends it directly to Formspree, and you may see a Formspree confirmation page. Formspree privacy policy.
- TintWiz provides our online scheduler (only after Yes, or when you open it in a new tab). TintWiz uses Cloudflare and Google Fonts when the scheduler loads. TintWiz privacy policy, Cloudflare privacy policy, Google privacy policy.
- Links to other sites. Our links to Google Maps, Facebook, Yelp, XPEL and others are plain links. Nothing loads from those sites until you click one. Once you are there, their own policies apply: Google, Facebook (Meta), Yelp.
Hosting. The site, including its fonts, images and video, is served from our own server hosted by Linode (Akamai). Linode provides the server and network, and the server logs described above are stored on it. Akamai/Linode privacy statement.
Sharing and selling
We do not sell personal information collected through this website. We do not share it for cross-context behavioral (targeted) advertising. We share it only with the service providers above, to the extent needed to deliver your message or booking, or if the law requires us to.
How long we keep information
- Messages and booking details: only as long as needed to respond to you, provide our services, and keep our ordinary business records.
- Server logs: deleted automatically after 14 days.
- Your privacy choice: 180 days in your own browser, or until you clear your cookies.
Formspree and TintWiz keep the information they process according to their own policies.
Security
The whole site uses encrypted HTTPS connections, and browsers are told to always use HTTPS for it. No website or online service can be guaranteed to be completely secure, so please do not send highly sensitive information (such as payment card numbers) through our forms.
Your rights
You can ask us to:
- tell you what personal information we hold about you and give you a copy;
- correct information that is wrong;
- delete your information;
- stop contacting you.
You can opt out of optional tracking at any time with Privacy preferences. Since we do not sell personal information, use targeted advertising or profile visitors, there is nothing else to opt out of.
New Jersey and New York visitors: privacy laws such as the New Jersey Data Privacy Act give residents rights to confirm, access, correct and delete their personal data, get a copy of it, and opt out of its sale, targeted advertising and profiling. Whether a particular law applies to us depends on its requirements. Either way, you can make any of the requests above by calling us or writing to us (see Contact us). We may need to confirm your identity before acting on a request. We will not treat you differently for making one.
Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control
We do not need to read Do Not Track or Global Privacy Control (GPC) signals to respect them. Optional tracking on this site never loads unless you click “Yes, accept tracking”, whatever signal your browser sends. Without that click, the result is the same as an opt-out signal. If you do click Yes, we treat that click as your choice for this site, and you can withdraw it anytime with Privacy preferences.
Children
This website is for adults arranging automotive and window film services. It is not directed to children under 13, or to anyone under 16, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. If you believe a child has sent us information, contact us and we will delete it.
Changes to this policy
If our website practices change, for example if we add a new service provider, we will update this page and the date at the top. If a change affects optional tracking, it will still load only after you choose Yes.
