Dallas Media Group LLC ("Dallas Media Group," "DMG," "we," "us," or "our") respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy applies to dallasmediagroup.com, including its pages, forms, and related online services that link to this policy (collectively, the "Site"). It describes the personal information we process, why we process it, the circumstances in which we disclose it, and the choices available to you.
1. Scope
This policy applies to personal information DMG controls through the Site and direct communications arising from the Site. It does not govern information that our clients control and ask us to process on their behalf; that information is governed by the applicable client agreement and the client's privacy notice. It also does not govern third-party websites or services linked from the Site.
2. Information we collect
Information you provide
When you contact us, request information, submit project details, apply for a role, subscribe to communications, or otherwise communicate with us, we may collect your name, email address, telephone number, company, job title, project requirements, message content, files you choose to provide, communication preferences, and related correspondence.
Information collected automatically
When you use the Site, our systems and service providers may collect IP address, browser and device type, operating system, referring and exit pages, pages viewed, approximate location derived from IP address, date and time of access, interaction events, cookie or similar identifiers, and diagnostic, performance, and security logs.
Information from other sources
We may receive business contact information from referral partners, public professional sources, clients, and service providers, and may combine it with information already maintained by DMG when permitted by law.
Sensitive information
The Site is not designed to collect sensitive personal data such as government identifiers, precise geolocation, health information, biometric data, financial account credentials, racial or ethnic origin, religious beliefs, sexual orientation, citizenship status, or children's data. Please do not submit sensitive personal data through general Site forms or email. If a project requires such data, collection and processing will be addressed separately under an appropriate agreement and safeguards.
3. How we use information
We use personal information to:
- respond to inquiries, prepare proposals, and provide requested information;
- evaluate, establish, and manage business relationships;
- operate, maintain, secure, troubleshoot, and improve the Site;
- understand Site traffic, content performance, and user interactions;
- send service-related messages and, where permitted, marketing communications;
- recruit and evaluate potential team members or contractors;
- detect, investigate, and prevent fraud, abuse, security incidents, and unlawful activity;
- enforce our agreements and protect our rights, users, systems, and others; and
- comply with law, legal process, and regulatory obligations.
We limit collection to information that is adequate, relevant, and reasonably necessary for the disclosed purposes.
4. How we disclose information
We may disclose the categories of information described above to the following categories of recipients:
- Service providers and processors that support hosting, content delivery, security, analytics, communications, document storage, customer relationship management, recruiting, and professional services. Our current Site infrastructure includes Cloudflare for hosting, content delivery, and security, and Google Analytics for website measurement.
- Professional advisers such as lawyers, accountants, insurers, and auditors when reasonably necessary.
- Business counterparties in connection with an actual or proposed financing, merger, acquisition, restructuring, sale of assets, or similar transaction, subject to appropriate confidentiality protections.
- Authorities and other parties when we believe disclosure is required by law or reasonably necessary to protect rights, safety, property, users, systems, or the public.
- Other recipients at your direction or with your consent.
We do not sell personal data for monetary consideration. We do not knowingly sell sensitive personal data or biometric data. We do not knowingly process personal data for targeted advertising or profiling in furtherance of decisions producing legal or similarly significant effects. If our practices change, we will update this policy and provide any notice and choice required by law before the changed processing begins.
5. Cookies and analytics
The Site and its providers may use cookies, pixels, local storage, and similar technologies that are necessary to deliver pages, maintain security, remember settings, and understand Site use. Google Analytics may receive online identifiers and usage information and use them to provide measurement and reporting services to us. You can restrict cookies using your browser settings; doing so may affect some Site features. You may also use Google's publicly available Analytics opt-out browser add-on. Browser "Do Not Track" signals are not consistently defined, so the Site does not currently respond to them. Where applicable law requires recognition of a qualifying universal opt-out mechanism for a processing activity we conduct, we will honor it.
6. Your privacy rights
Depending on where you live and subject to legal exceptions, you may have the right to confirm whether we process your personal data; access it; correct inaccuracies; delete it; receive a portable copy of data you provided; and opt out of targeted advertising, sale of personal data, or certain profiling. Texas residents may exercise the rights provided by the Texas Data Privacy and Security Act. We will not discriminate against you for exercising an applicable privacy right.
How to submit a request
Email privacy@dallasmediagroup.com with the subject line “Privacy Rights Request” and describe the right you wish to exercise. Include your name, the email address associated with your interaction, your state of residence, and enough detail for us to locate the relevant information. An authorized agent may submit an opt-out request on your behalf where permitted by law. We may ask for information reasonably necessary to authenticate your identity or the agent's authority. Please do not send sensitive identity documents unless specifically requested through a secure method.
Response and appeal
We will respond without undue delay and within the period required by applicable law. For authenticated requests under Texas law, that generally means no later than 45 days, with one additional 45-day extension when reasonably necessary and with timely notice. If we decline a request, our response will explain the reason and how to appeal. To appeal, email privacy@dallasmediagroup.com with the subject line “Privacy Request Appeal” within 30 days of our decision and include the original request and decision. We will respond to the appeal within the time required by applicable law. You may also submit a complaint to the Texas Attorney General.
7. Data retention and security
We retain personal information only as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy, including to maintain business records, resolve disputes, secure our systems, enforce agreements, and meet legal, tax, accounting, and regulatory obligations. Retention periods vary based on the nature of the information and our relationship with you.
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards appropriate to the volume and nature of the information we process. No internet transmission, storage system, or security control is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
8. Processing in the United States
DMG is based in Texas, and the Site is operated in the United States. If you access the Site from another country, your information may be processed in the United States and other locations where our service providers operate, subject to applicable law and appropriate safeguards.
9. Children's privacy
The Site is intended for business audiences and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 through the Site. If you believe a child has provided personal information to us, contact us so we can investigate and delete it as appropriate.
10. Third-party links
The Site may link to third-party websites, platforms, or social networks. Their privacy practices are governed by their own notices, not this policy. Review those notices before providing personal information.
11. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy as our services, technology, or legal obligations change. We will post the revised version on this page and update the effective date. If a change materially affects how we use information already collected, we will provide additional notice or obtain consent when required by law.
