Privacy Policy

Last Updated: February 15, 2026

Texas Business Leads, LLC, a Florida limited liability company ("Company," "we," "our," or "us"), respects your privacy and is committed to protecting it through this policy. This policy describes how we collect, use, and disclose information when you use our website at texasbusinessleads.com and our subscription services (collectively, the "Services").

1. About This Policy

Data Broker Status

Texas Business Leads compiles and provides business lead data derived from publicly available records. We believe our services qualify for exemption from data broker registration requirements under applicable state laws because we exclusively use publicly available records. However, we are committed to transparency and offer opt-out mechanisms as described in Section 6.

Scope

This policy covers information we collect through our website and subscription services. It does not govern the publicly available business data we provide to subscribers, which is derived from public records and not subject to privacy law restrictions on "personal information."

2. Information We Collect

We collect two distinct categories of information:

A. Customer Account Information

When you subscribe to our Services, we collect:

• Contact information: Name, email address, phone number, and mailing address
• Payment information: Credit card details processed securely through Stripe (we do not store full card numbers)
• Account information: Subscription preferences, report configurations, and delivery settings
• Communication records: Emails and inquiries you send us

B. Business Lead Data (Our Product)

The business leads we provide to subscribers are derived exclusively from publicly available records. This data includes:

• Business names and DBA names
• Business addresses
• NAICS industry codes
• Filing dates

This public records data is publicly available information and is exempt from the definition of "personal information" under California Civil Code § 1798.140(v)(2) and similar state privacy laws.

C. Automatically Collected Information

When you visit our website and consent to analytics, we automatically collect:

• Device information: IP address, browser type, operating system
• Usage information: Pages visited, time spent, referring URLs, scroll depth, and button/link clicks
• Interaction events: Form submissions, phone number clicks, and outbound link clicks
• Transaction data: For subscribers, we track successful purchases including transaction value for analytics purposes
• Cookies: Session cookies for website functionality and, with your consent, analytics cookies via Google Analytics

3. How We Use Your Information

We use customer account information to:

• Provide and deliver your subscription services
• Process payments and send invoices
• Send service-related communications (report deliveries, account updates, renewal notices)
• Send promotional communications about our Services (you may opt out at any time)
• Respond to your inquiries and provide customer support
• Improve our Services and develop new features
• Market our Services, including measuring advertising effectiveness and building audiences of similar potential customers through advertising platforms (using hashed or anonymized identifiers)
• Comply with legal obligations

We use automatically collected information to:

• Analyze website traffic and usage patterns
• Measure advertising campaign performance and optimize ad delivery
• Build retargeting and lookalike audiences for advertising
• Maintain website security and prevent fraud
• Improve website performance and user experience

4. How We Share Your Information

We share customer information with the following categories of service providers and partners. Specific providers within each category may change over time; we maintain an up-to-date list at the end of this section.

• Payment processors: To securely handle payments and billing
• Analytics and advertising platforms: To measure website usage, track advertising performance, build retargeting audiences, and create lookalike audiences of similar potential customers. When we share customer data with advertising platforms for audience matching, we use hashed identifiers — the platform never receives your raw email address or personal information in readable form.
• Communications providers: To deliver lead reports, service emails, and promotional communications
• Legal compliance: When required by law, court order, or government request
• Business transfers: In connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets

We do not sell your personal information. The business lead data we provide to subscribers is derived from public records, not from customer information.

5. Data Retention

We retain customer account information for as long as your subscription is active, plus a reasonable period thereafter for legal and business purposes (typically 7 years for financial records). You may request deletion of your account information by contacting us.

6. Data Security

We implement commercially reasonable security measures to protect your information, including:

• Encrypted data transmission (HTTPS/TLS)
• Secure payment processing through PCI-compliant Stripe
• Access controls and authentication requirements
• Regular security monitoring

However, no method of transmission over the internet is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

7. Your Privacy Rights

All Customers

You may:

• Access and update your account information through our customer portal
• Opt out of marketing communications (service communications will continue)
• Request deletion of your account

Business Opt-Out (Lead Database)

If your business appears in our lead data and you wish to be excluded from future reports, you may request removal by emailing privacy@texasbusinessleads.com with "Opt-Out Request" in the subject line. Please include:

• Business name as it appears in public records
• Business address

We will add your business to our suppression list within 30 days. Note that because our data is derived from public records, your information will remain in those public records; we can only exclude you from our compiled reports.

California Residents

Under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), California residents have the right to:

• Know what personal information we collect and how it is used
• Delete personal information we hold about you
• Opt out of the sale of personal information (we do not sell personal information)

Response Timeline: We will respond to verifiable requests within 45 days. If we need additional time (up to 90 days total), we will notify you of the extension and the reason.

Authorized Agents: You may designate an authorized agent to submit requests on your behalf. We may require the agent to provide proof of authorization and may verify your identity directly.

Shine the Light: Under California Civil Code § 1798.83, California residents may request information about disclosure of personal information to third parties for direct marketing purposes. We may share hashed customer identifiers with advertising platforms (such as Meta and Google) for audience matching and ad targeting. You may opt out of this sharing by contacting us at privacy@texasbusinessleads.com.

• Analytics cookies: Google Analytics 4 (via Google Tag Manager) to understand website usage, including page views, scroll depth, click interactions, and conversion events
• Advertising cookies: Meta (Facebook) Pixel for conversion tracking, retargeting, and building lookalike audiences for our advertising campaigns

This data is sent to Meta Platforms, Inc. and is used to measure the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns, show you relevant ads on Facebook and Instagram, and build audiences of users with similar interests. Meta may combine this data with information from your Facebook/Instagram account in accordance with their privacy policy.

You can opt out of Meta's data collection by choosing "Essential Only" on our cookie banner. You can also control ad preferences directly through your Facebook Ad Settings or by using the Digital Advertising Alliance opt-out tool. For more information, see Meta's Privacy Policy.

You can also control cookies through your browser settings. Disabling essential cookies may affect website functionality.

We honor Global Privacy Control (GPC) signals where required by applicable law.

9. Children's Privacy

Our Services are not intended for individuals under 18 years of age. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

• Non-material changes (adding a new provider within an existing category, clarifications, formatting): We will update the "Last Updated" date. No email notification is required.
