Privacy Policy

1. Data controller / operator

The operator of this site is:

Shepherd Park Plaza Civic Club
P.O. Box 10453
Houston, TX 77206-0453
United States
Email: info@shepherdparkplaza.us

2. Information we may collect

Depending on how you use the site, we may process:

• Information you send us — for example, your name, email address, and the content of messages when you email us or submit forms (if offered).
• Technical data — such as browser type, device type, general geographic area derived from IP address, pages viewed, and timestamps. This may come from server logs or analytics tools if you consent to analytics cookies.
• Advertising / conversion measurement — if you consent to marketing cookies, we may use tags such as Microsoft Advertising Universal Event Tracking (UET) to measure whether site visits or actions (for example, contact or signup goals) relate to our ads, and to improve campaign relevance. Microsoft may process data as described in its policies (see below).

We do not use this policy to introduce new data practices beyond what is reasonably implied by operating a public civic-club website and optional measurement you approve via our cookie banner.

3. Cookies and similar technologies

We use cookies and similar technologies for strictly necessary functions (for example, remembering your cookie choices), and—only with your consent—for optional analytics and marketing/measurement. Details are in our Cookie Policy, which should be read together with this notice.

4. Microsoft Advertising (UET) and similar tags

If we enable Microsoft Advertising UET or similar Microsoft tags, they may set cookies or use identifiers to attribute visits and conversions to ads, build audience lists where permitted, and measure performance. Processing is subject to Microsoft’s terms and privacy documentation. You should review:

• Microsoft Advertising Privacy Policy
• Microsoft Privacy Statement

Non-essential Microsoft tags will only load after you provide the applicable consent through our cookie banner (see Cookie Policy).

5. Third-party content (e.g., YouTube)

Some pages may embed content from third parties (for example, a video player). When you interact with that content, the third party may receive technical data (such as IP address and device information) under its own policies. We do not control those services. We recommend reviewing the provider’s privacy notice before interacting with embedded media.

6. How we use information

We use information to operate and improve the site, respond to inquiries, comply with law, understand aggregate use (where permitted), and—if you consent—measure advertising effectiveness.

7. Legal bases (EEA/UK visitors)

If data protection laws such as the GDPR or UK GDPR apply to you, we rely on appropriate bases such as legitimate interests (operating the site, security, responding to requests), consent (non-essential cookies and marketing tags), and legal obligation where required.

8. U.S. state privacy rights

Residents of certain U.S. states may have rights regarding personal information (for example, access, deletion, opt-out of “sale”/sharing or targeted advertising as defined by state law). We do not “sell” personal information for money. Depending on the law, you may submit requests by contacting info@shepherdparkplaza.us. We will verify and respond in line with applicable law.

9. International transfers

If you access the site from outside the United States, your information may be processed in the U.S. and other locations where we or our vendors operate.

10. Retention

We keep information only as long as needed for the purposes above, unless a longer period is required by law.

11. Security

We use reasonable organizational and technical measures to protect information. No method of transmission over the Internet is completely secure.

12. Industry opt-out tools (interest-based advertising)

You may use industry tools to opt out of interest-based advertising from participating companies. Examples include:

• Digital Advertising Alliance (DAA) WebChoices
• Network Advertising Initiative (NAI) opt-out

These tools are provided by third parties; we do not control them. Opt-outs may be stored via cookies and may not block all advertising.

13. Children

This site is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.

14. Changes

We may update this policy from time to time. The “Effective date” at the top will change when we do. Continued use of the site after changes means you accept the updated policy.
