Privacy Policy
Effective Date: September 15, 2026
M. K. Hauling respects your privacy and is committed to protecting the personal information you provide when using our website or contacting us.
This Privacy Policy applies to mkhauling.org and mkhauling.net. MKHauling.org is our primary website. MKHauling.net redirects visitors to MKHauling.org and is covered by this same Privacy Policy.
Information We Collect
We may collect information that you voluntarily provide to us when you contact M. K. Hauling, request information, inquire about products or services, request a quote, submit a form, communicate with us by email or otherwise interact with our website.
This information may include your name, email address, telephone number, delivery or service location, and information you provide concerning the products or services you are interested in.
Our website and hosting systems may also automatically collect certain technical information when you visit the site. This may include your IP address, browser type, device information, referring website, pages visited, date and time of access, and similar technical or usage information.
How We Use Information
M. K. Hauling may use information collected through the website to respond to inquiries, provide estimates or requested services, communicate with customers and prospective customers, arrange deliveries or services, operate and improve our website, maintain website security, prevent fraud or abuse, troubleshoot technical problems, and comply with applicable legal obligations.
We do not sell your personal information.
Website Analytics and Similar Technologies
Our website may use analytics, cookies, server logs, or similar technologies to understand how visitors use the website, measure website performance, improve our services, and maintain the security and reliability of the site.
These technologies may collect information such as IP address, device and browser information, pages viewed, approximate geographic information, referral sources, and interactions with the website.
Your browser may allow you to block or delete cookies. Disabling certain cookies may affect the operation of some website features.
Third-Party Services
M. K. Hauling may use third-party service providers to operate, host, secure, maintain, analyze, or provide functionality for our website and business operations.
Information may be processed by these providers when reasonably necessary to provide their services to us. We do not authorize service providers to use personal information supplied through our website for their own unrelated purposes.
Our website may also contain links to websites or services operated by third parties. M. K. Hauling is not responsible for the privacy practices, security, or content of websites operated by others.
Information Security
We use reasonable administrative and technical measures intended to protect information under our control. However, no website, electronic transmission, or information-storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
Retention of Information
We retain personal information for only as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, to provide requested services, maintain appropriate business records, resolve disputes, enforce agreements, and satisfy applicable legal, accounting, or regulatory requirements.
Your Privacy Choices and Requests
You may contact M. K. Hauling to ask about personal information you have provided to us or to request that information be corrected or deleted, subject to any legal or legitimate business requirement that requires us to retain it.
Where applicable, our website may also provide privacy-request tools through Joomla for requesting access to or removal of personal information associated with an account or email address.
Children's Privacy
Our website and services are intended for a general audience and are not directed toward children for the purpose of collecting personal information. We do not knowingly solicit personal information from children through the website.
Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect changes to our website, business practices, technology, or legal requirements. The effective date displayed at the top of this policy indicates when the policy was most recently revised.

Now hook it into Joomla
Create this as a normal Joomla article titled Privacy Policy and publish it. Then go to System → Plugins → System – Privacy Consent, enable it, and select this article as the Privacy Article. That's the setting Joomla uses for its “Published Privacy Policy” status check.
I would also enable Content – Confirm Consent and point it to the same Privacy Policy if you're using Joomla's contact form; that plugin adds the required consent checkbox to forms such as the core contact form.
One caveat: before we call the policy finished, I'd like to inventory the site's actual analytics/cookies/extensions (for example Google Analytics, embedded maps, CAPTCHA, Facebook integrations, etc.). Then I can tighten the third-party section so the policy describes exactly what MKHauling.org actually does, rather than relying on generic language.
