Privacy and Information Use
This policy explains how Texas Sisters Press handles information readers and contributors share with the site, including contact forms, optional mobile consent, analytics data, and business submissions.
Text Messaging
SMS and Mobile Communications
If you provide a mobile number, you agree that Texas Sisters Press may send automated text messages related to updates or offers. Message frequency may vary, and message or data rates may apply. To opt out, reply “STOP” to any message.
Mobile opt-in information is not shared with third parties or affiliates for marketing or promotional purposes. Service providers may help support communication or customer service operations, but text messaging originator opt-in data and consent are excluded from other sharing categories.
Information We Collect
Information We Collect From You
We may collect information you choose to provide when you subscribe, send a message, suggest a company, or submit details connected to a Texas business story.
We may also collect limited technical information, such as IP address, browser type, operating system, and site activity through analytics tools. This helps us understand how the site is used and normally does not identify you personally.
You can learn more about how Google Analytics collects and processes data here.
Depending on the form, you may be asked for your name, email address, mailing address, phone number, company details, or story context. You may also browse the site anonymously. If Texas Sisters Press is acquired by or merged with another company, information may transfer as part of that change, and notice will be provided before it becomes subject to a different privacy policy.

Personal information will not be sold, exchanged, transferred, or given to another company without consent, except when needed to provide a requested service, operate the site, or meet a legal obligation.
The email address you provide may be used to reply to your note, follow up on a submission, or send updates when you have asked to receive them.

Disclosure
Do We Disclose Any Information to Outside Parties?
We do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer personally identifiable information to outside parties. This excludes trusted providers who help operate the site, support communications, or provide related services, so long as they agree to keep the information confidential.
Information may also be released when appropriate to comply with law, enforce site policies, or protect rights, property, or safety. Non-personally identifiable visitor data may be used for analytics, advertising, or similar operational purposes.

Third Party Services
Service Providers and Processing

Certain providers, including payment gateways or processors if used, may maintain their own privacy policies for information needed to complete a transaction.
You should review the privacy policies of any third party provider you interact with to understand how your information may be handled.
Some providers may be located in a different jurisdiction than you or Texas Sisters Press. If you proceed with a third party transaction or leave this website, your information may become subject to that provider’s policies and the laws where it operates.
