PRIVACY POLICY

This policy describes how Dallas Media Company LLC (“DMC,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) handles personal information collected through dallasmediacompany.com and any related services. By using our site or sharing information with us, you agree to the terms outlined here.

The short version: we collect contact info when you reach out about a project or subscribe to our newsletter, we use it to respond and send updates you’ve opted into, and we don’t sell, rent, or share it with anyone outside our team.

01Information We Collect

We collect the following categories of information:

Information You Provide Directly

• Contact form submissions: name, email address, phone number, service interest, and project details
• Newsletter subscriptions: first name and email address
• Brand & model applications: additional fields on partnership forms (company, role, portfolio links)
• Client correspondence: emails, messages, and project files you share during engagement

Information Collected Automatically

• Site analytics: pages viewed, time on page, referring sites, and aggregate traffic patterns
• Device & browser information: approximate location, browser type, operating system, and IP address

02How We Use Your Information

We use the information you share with us to:

• Respond to project inquiries, quote requests, and general questions
• Deliver services contracted between DMC and you or your organization
• Send newsletter emails you’ve subscribed to (with one-click unsubscribe in every send)
• Invite you to relevant DMC-hosted events, workshops, or open studios — only if you’ve opted in
• Improve our website, content, and service offerings based on aggregate traffic patterns
• Comply with legal obligations and resolve disputes if they arise

03Information Sharing

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties for marketing purposes. We share information only in these limited circumstances:

• Service providers: trusted tools we use to operate the business (email, payments, scheduling, file storage) — each bound by their own privacy obligations
• Project partners: only with your explicit consent, and only when collaboration on your project requires it
• Legal requirements: if compelled by law, court order, or to protect our rights and safety

04Cookies & Tracking

Our website uses cookies and similar technologies to help the site function and to understand how visitors use it. You can disable cookies in your browser settings — most of the site will still work, but some interactive features may be affected.

We use a small number of analytics tools to measure aggregate site traffic. We do not use cookies to track individual users across other websites for advertising purposes.

05Your Rights & Choices

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to:

• Access the personal information we have about you
• Correct inaccuracies in that information
• Delete your information (subject to legal retention requirements)
• Opt out of newsletter or marketing communications at any time
• Object to certain uses of your information

To exercise any of these rights, email us at sean@dallasmediacompany.com. We’ll respond within 30 days.

06Data Retention

We keep your information only as long as needed for the purposes described in this policy, plus a reasonable period afterward for legal, accounting, or business-record obligations. Newsletter subscribers who unsubscribe are removed from active lists within 30 days.

07Security

We use reasonable safeguards — encrypted file transfers, secure email, access controls, and current software — to protect the information you share. No internet transmission is 100% secure, so we can’t guarantee absolute security. If we ever experience a breach affecting your data, we’ll notify affected individuals as required by applicable law.

08Children’s Privacy

Our services are intended for adults and businesses. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe we’ve received information from a child under 13, please contact us and we’ll delete it promptly.

09Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or legal requirements. The “Last Updated” date at the top of this page will reflect any revision. Material changes will be communicated directly to active newsletter subscribers when reasonable.
