Privacy Policy
Effective date: 2026-10-08. Last updated: 2026-10-14.
This Privacy Policy explains how GCExperts LLC ("we", "us") collects, uses, and protects information when you use Federal Construction Show at federalconstructionshow.com ("the Service"), a website about federal-contracting guides and a member toolkit for construction firms.
Information we collect
- Account information. Your email address and a securely hashed password when you create an account.
- Membership and payment records. The plan you bought, the amount, the currency, the payment status, and the payment provider's transaction identifier. Card numbers are handled by Stripe and never reach our servers.
- Usage and security data. Records needed to keep sessions working and the site safe, such as session tokens and rate-limit counters. Session tokens are stored in a strictly-necessary cookie.
- Cookie choices. The consent choice you make on the cookie banner.
How we use information
- To create and secure your account and let you sign in and reset your password.
- To provide the federal-contracting member-toolkit membership you purchase and to confirm your payment.
- To send service messages, such as password-reset links and payment confirmations.
- To detect abuse, prevent fraud, and meet legal and accounting obligations.
Sharing
We do not sell your personal information. We share it only with service providers that help us run the Service, and only as needed:
- Stripe processes payments and card data.
- Our email provider delivers transactional email such as password resets.
- Our hosting provider operates the servers that run the Service.
- Authorities, where we are legally required to disclose information.
Retention
We keep account and purchase records for as long as your account exists and for the period required for tax, accounting, and legal purposes. Password-reset links expire after 60 minutes and are single-use. When you delete your account, we delete or anonymise your personal information except where we must retain it by law.
Cookies
We use a strictly necessary cookie to keep you signed in; this cookie cannot be switched off without breaking login. With your consent we may also use analytics cookies to understand how the site is used. You can accept all cookies or only the necessary ones on the banner, and you can clear your choice at any time by clearing this site's data in your browser.
Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, delete, or receive a copy of your personal information, and to object to or restrict certain processing. California residents have rights under the CCPA and CPRA, and people in the EU, UK, and Switzerland have rights under the GDPR, the UK GDPR, and related law. To make a request, email support@federalconstructionshow.com or write to GCExperts LLC, 300 Brushy Creek Rd, Cedar Park, TX 78613. We will respond within the time required by applicable law.
Children
The Service is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect their personal information. If you believe a child has given us information, contact us and we will delete it.
Security
Passwords are stored using a modern one-way hash, sessions use secure cookies, and the Service is served over HTTPS. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, but we take reasonable measures to protect your information.
Changes
We may update this policy. When we do, we will revise the "Last updated" date above and, for material changes, provide a prominent notice on the site.

Questions about this policy can be sent to support@federalconstructionshow.com. The Service is owned and operated by GCExperts LLC, 300 Brushy Creek Rd, Cedar Park, TX 78613, which is responsible for your information.
