Miller Valve & Controls, Inc. ("Miller Valve", "we", "us", or "our") respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy describes how we collect, use, and protect information when you visit millervalves.com (the "Site") and use the services, tools, and forms available on it.
1. Information We Collect
Information You Provide
- Quote requests: When you submit a quote request through our quote wizard, contact form, or by emailing us directly, we collect your name, company, email address, phone number, and the technical details of your application (industry, valve type, service conditions, materials, quantity, timeline, and any notes you provide).
- Email and phone correspondence: Any information you provide when contacting us by email, phone, or other communication channels.
Information Collected Automatically
- Server logs: Standard web server logs including IP address, browser type, device type, referring page, and pages viewed. These are retained for security and operational analysis.
- Browser storage: Our quote wizard uses your browser's
localStorageto save your in-progress quote draft so you don't lose it on refresh. This data stays on your device and is not transmitted to us until you submit.
Cookies & Tracking
We do not currently use marketing or advertising cookies. The Site may use essential cookies necessary for basic functionality. We may use privacy-respecting analytics (such as page-view counts) in aggregate to understand which pages are useful — these analytics do not identify individual visitors.
2. How We Use Information
We use information you provide to:
- Respond to your quote requests with valve sizing, pricing, lead times, and engineering recommendations

We do not:
- Sell your personal information to third parties
- Use your information for unrelated marketing without your consent
- Share your information with anyone outside Miller Valve & Controls staff and our manufacturer partners (and only as needed to fulfill your specific request)
3. Sharing With Manufacturer Partners
To fulfill a quote, we may share project specifications with our manufacturer partners (such as Trimteck, A-T Controls, WEY, Quadax, and others listed on our Products page) to obtain pricing and engineering review. We share only the information necessary to spec and price your application — we do not share your contact information unless you specifically request that the manufacturer contact you directly, or unless required to fulfill the order.
4. Service Providers
We use reputable third-party service providers for web hosting (Vercel, Inc.), email, and other operational functions. These providers process information solely on our behalf under standard data-protection terms.
5. Data Retention
We retain quote-related communications for the duration of the customer relationship and as required by applicable business records and tax laws. You may request deletion of your information by contacting us at any time, subject to legal retention requirements.

7. Security
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect information you share with us. However, no system is perfectly secure — please do not send highly sensitive information (financial account numbers, passwords, etc.) through unencrypted email or web forms.
8. Children's Privacy
The Site is intended for business use by industry professionals. It is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect information from children.
