Do We Use Cookies?
Yes. Cookies are small files that the Sites or our service provider transfers to your computer’s hard drive through your Web browser that enables the Sites’ or service provider’s systems to recognize your browser and capture and remember certain information. We use cookies to help us understand how users use the Sites. For example, cookies gather information about how long you spend on a web page so that we can understand what web pages are of most interest to users.
If you prefer, you can choose to have your computer warn you each time a cookie is being sent, or you can choose to turn off cookies by adjusting your browser settings. If you turn off your cookies, some of the features on the Sites may not function properly.
Google Analytics
We use cookies provided by Google Analytics, a third-party service provider, to assist us in better understanding our Site visitors. These cookies collect data tied to a user’s IP address, such as the length of time a user spends on a page, the pages a user visits, and the websites a user visits before and after visiting the Sites. Based on this information, Google Analytics compiles aggregate data about Site traffic and Site interactions, which we use to offer better Site experiences and tools in the future.

Do Not Track Setting

DNT is a preference you can set in your browser’s settings to let the websites you visit, including the Sites, know that you do not want the websites collecting your personal identifiable information.

6) PRIVACY RIGHTS FOR CALIFORNIA RESIDENTS
a) Your California Privacy Rights
Subject to applicable law, California residents have the following rights:
- Right to Know: You have the right to submit a verifiable request for copies of specific pieces of your personal information and for information about Skanska’s collection, use, and disclosure of your personal information. Please note that the CPRA’s right to obtain “specific pieces” does not grant a right to the whole of any document that contains personal information, but only to discrete items of personal information. Moreover, California residents generally just have a right to know categories, for example, categories of external recipients to which personal information is disclosed, but not the individual recipients.
- Right to Delete: You have the right to submit a verifiable request for the deletion of personal information that you have provided to Skanska.
- Right to Correct: You have the right to submit a verifiable request for the correction of inaccurate personal information maintained by Skanska, taking into account the nature of the personal information and the purposes of processing the personal information.
b) How to Exercise Your Rights
Company will respond to requests to know, delete, and correct in accordance with applicable law if it can verify the identity of the individual submitting the request. You can exercise these rights in the following ways:
- Call (877) 516-3385
- Email
- Complete the intake request form available at Privacy Policy | www.usa.skanska.com
c) How We Will Verify Your Request
If you submit a request through an adequately secure password-protected account that you created before the date of your request, we will use the authentication mechanisms in the account to verify your identity. Otherwise, we match personal data that you provide us against personal data we maintain in our files. The more risk entailed by the request (e.g., a request for specific pieces of personal data), the more items of personal data we may request to verify you. If we cannot verify your identity to a sufficient level of certainty to respond securely to your request, we will let you know promptly and explain why we cannot verify your identity.
d) Authorized Agents
If an authorized agent submits a request to know, correct, or delete on your behalf, the authorized agent must submit with the request either (a) a power of attorney that is valid under California law, or (b) document signed by you that authorizes the authorized agent to submit the request on your behalf. In addition, we may ask you to follow the applicable process described above for verifying your identity. You can obtain an “Authorized Agent Designation” form by contacting us at
