This Privacy Notice explains how AS Consulting Group Texas handles personal information submitted through ascgtexas.com, including information provided through the contact form and related communications.
1. Scope
This notice applies to information collected through ascgtexas.com and its contact process. It does not automatically govern separate AS Consulting Group properties, third-party websites or services with their own privacy notices.
2. Information we collect
When you contact us, we may collect information you choose to provide, such as:
- name and work email;
- company or organization;
- headquarters country or U.S. state;
- Texas market or region;
- stage of Texas expansion or operations;
- the business, finance, reporting or cross-border issue you select or describe;
- preferred language;
- the contents of your message.
To understand where an inquiry came from and maintain consent records, the site may also store the source page, campaign parameters such as UTM values, and the version of the Privacy Notice accepted with the form.
The contact lead record does not require an IP address, hashed IP address or user-agent string. We do not ask visitors to submit Social Security numbers, government identification numbers, financial-account credentials, health information or precise geolocation through the website contact form.
3. How we use information
We use information submitted through the website to respond to inquiries, understand the business context presented to us, direct a request to the appropriate ASCG team or specialist, communicate about a potential or existing business relationship, maintain records of communications and consent, protect the website and contact process, and comply with applicable legal obligations.
We do not use contact-form information for a materially different purpose without an appropriate legal basis or consent where required.
4. When information may be shared
Information may be accessible to authorized AS Consulting Group personnel and service providers that support website hosting, email delivery, security or other business operations where access is reasonably necessary. If an inquiry needs expertise from another ASCG entity or specialist, information may be shared for the purpose of evaluating or responding to that request.
We do not sell personal data. We do not use personal data for targeted advertising or profiling in furtherance of decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects.
5. Cookies and tracking
The website does not use Google Analytics, Meta Pixel, LinkedIn Insight Tag or other non-essential behavioral advertising trackers. Essential technical storage may be used when necessary for security, session management or form protection. If analytics, CRM tracking, advertising technology or other non-essential cookies are introduced later, this notice and any required consent controls must be updated before those technologies are enabled.
6. Retention and security
We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this notice, including inquiry management, business records, legal obligations and security. Information that is no longer needed should be deleted or securely disposed of in accordance with applicable operational and legal requirements.
We use reasonable safeguards appropriate to the website and contact process, including protected lead storage, access-controlled administration, secure sessions, CSRF protection, validation, sanitization, rate limiting and server-level restrictions on sensitive directories. No internet transmission or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
7. Texas privacy rights
The Texas Data Privacy and Security Act, effective July 1, 2024, gives qualifying Texas consumers rights that may include confirming whether personal data is processed, accessing personal data, correcting inaccuracies, deleting personal data, obtaining a portable copy and opting out of certain targeted advertising, sale of personal data or qualifying profiling. The Act also provides a process to appeal certain decisions on privacy requests. Applicability and exemptions depend on the circumstances.
Where the Act applies, a Texas consumer may submit a request using the contact information below. We may need to authenticate the request before acting on it. If a request is declined, you may appeal by replying to the decision or by submitting a new request marked “Privacy Appeal” through the same contact methods. If an appeal is denied, we will provide information about how to submit a complaint to the Texas Attorney General where required.
8. Children
This business-to-business website is not directed to children under 13, and the contact form is not intended to collect personal data from children.
9. Changes to this notice
We may update this notice when the website, data practices, legal requirements or service providers change. The current version and effective date are published on this page.
10. Privacy requests and contact
Privacy questions or requests may be submitted through the website contact page. Requests should clearly identify the privacy right you wish to exercise and provide enough information for us to authenticate and respond to the request.
Texas reference: Texas residents can learn more about the Texas Data Privacy and Security Act through the Office of the Texas Attorney General. This notice is intended to describe ASCG Texas website practices; it is not a statement that every provision of the Act applies to every visitor or circumstance.
