Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy explains what information Muehlenbeck Center Guide ("we," "us") collects when you visit tommuehlenbeckcenterplano.shop (the "Site"), how it is used, and the choices you have. The Site is an independent information guide; it has no user accounts, sign-up forms or online purchases.
Information we collect
Server logs
Like most websites, our hosting provider automatically records standard request data when you load a page: IP address, browser type and version, operating system, referring page, the pages requested, and the date and time. These logs are used to keep the Site secure, diagnose problems and understand overall traffic. They are retained only as long as needed for those purposes.
Cookies and similar technologies
Cookies are small text files stored by your browser. The Site itself does not need cookies to work. Third parties described below, such as advertising and analytics providers, may set cookies or use similar technologies (pixels, local storage, device identifiers) when you visit.
Information you send us
If you email us, we receive your email address and whatever you include in the message. We use it only to reply and to fix the Site, and we do not add you to any mailing list.
Advertising and Google AdSense
We may use Google AdSense to show ads. When we do:
- Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user's prior visits to this website or other websites.
- Google's use of advertising cookies, including the DoubleClick cookie, enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visits to this Site and/or other sites on the Internet.
- You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google's Ads Settings. You can learn how Google uses information from sites that use its services at policies.google.com/technologies/ads.
- You can also opt out of many third-party vendors' use of cookies for personalized advertising at www.aboutads.info/choices/.
Where required by law, a consent message provided through Google's consent management tools may ask for your choices before personalized ads are shown.
Analytics
We may use a privacy-conscious analytics service to count visits and see which pages are useful. Such services typically collect aggregated information such as pages viewed, approximate location derived from IP address, device type and referral source. We use this data only in aggregate to improve the Site and do not use it to identify individual visitors.
Third-party content and links
Some pages embed a Google Maps map and load fonts from Google Fonts. Loading these may send your IP address and browser information to Google under Google's own privacy policy. Links to other websites, including the City of Plano, are governed by those sites' policies, not this one.
How we use and share information
We use the information above to operate, secure and improve the Site and to respond to messages. We do not sell personal information for money. We share information only with service providers that help run the Site (hosting, analytics, advertising) or when required by law.
Your US state privacy rights (including California)
Depending on where you live, laws such as the California Consumer Privacy Act as amended by the CPRA, and similar laws in Colorado, Connecticut, Virginia, Utah, Texas and other states, may give you the right to know what personal information is collected, to request access to or deletion of it, to correct it, and to opt out of the "sale" or "sharing" of personal information for targeted advertising. To exercise these rights, email contact@tommuehlenbeckcenterplano.shop. You can also use the Google and industry opt-out links above, and browser signals such as Global Privacy Control where supported. We will not discriminate against you for exercising your rights.
Visitors from the EEA, UK and Switzerland
The Site is aimed at US readers, but if you visit from the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom or Switzerland, you have rights under the GDPR (or UK GDPR) to access, correct, delete, restrict or object to the processing of your personal data, and to data portability. Our legal bases are legitimate interests (running and securing the Site) and consent (for non-essential advertising cookies, collected through a consent tool where required). You may also complain to your local data protection authority.
Children's privacy
The Site is a general-audience guide and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13, consistent with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA). If you believe a child has sent us personal information, contact us and we will delete it.
Changes and contact
We may update this policy as the Site changes; the effective date above will change when we do. Questions: contact@tommuehlenbeckcenterplano.shop. See also our Terms of Use and Disclaimer.
