We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect personal information against unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, destruction, or misuse.

However, no Internet transmission or electronic storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

Accordingly, we cannot guarantee absolute security of information transmitted to or stored by us.

The Texas State Board of Plumbing Examiners similarly recognizes that no Internet transmission or electronic storage system can be guaranteed completely secure and describes the use of reasonable safeguards for information collected through its own website.

17. Data Breach

If we experience a security incident involving personal information, we will investigate the incident and provide notifications required by applicable federal and Texas law.

Texas law includes requirements concerning notification of certain breaches involving sensitive personal information, and the Texas Attorney General states that qualifying breaches affecting 250 or more Texans must be reported to the Attorney General.

Depending on the circumstances and legal requirements, notification may be provided by email, mail, telephone, Website notice, or another legally permitted method.

The Texas Attorney General identifies these rights under the Texas Data Privacy and Security Act.

These rights are subject to applicable statutory exceptions and limitations.

19. How to Submit a Privacy Request

To submit a privacy request, contact us through the contact information published on the Website.

When submitting a request, please provide enough information for us to understand and process the request.

Please identify the original request and explain why you believe our decision should be reconsidered.

We will review qualifying appeals in accordance with applicable law.

21. No Discrimination

The Texas Data Privacy and Security Act specifically recognizes a consumer's right not to be discriminated against for exercising applicable privacy rights.

22. Children's Privacy

The Website is not directed toward children under 13.

We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 for marketing purposes.

25. Do Not Track

Some web browsers provide a “Do Not Track” feature.

Because there is not a universally accepted standard for responding to all browser-based Do Not Track signals, our Website may not respond to such signals in every circumstance.

Where applicable law requires recognition of a browser-based privacy preference signal, we will handle such signals in accordance with applicable law.
