Last update: June 27, 2025

This Privacy Policy contains important information about your personal data, so please read it carefully.

This Privacy Notice outlines the data processing practices of IE Builders, LLC ("The Company," "we," "us," or "our"). It details how we collect, use, protect, and handle user information provided through our website iebuilders.com and the "David Houston" Facebook page. This policy is designed to comply with applicable data privacy laws in the United States, including the Texas Data Privacy and Security Act (TDPSA).

The primary purpose of our data collection is to generate qualified business leads, establish a direct and effective communication channel with users interested in our construction services, and facilitate the sales process. We are committed to ensuring the lawful, controlled, and informed processing of your personal information at all times.

The following ten sections constitute our comprehensive privacy framework, engineered to provide transparency, security, and control to you, the data subject.

1. Identity and Contact Information of the Controller

The entity responsible for the processing of your personal data (the "Controller") is IE Builders, LLC, a limited liability company organized and operating under the laws of the State of Texas. Our foremost commitment is to safeguard the integrity, privacy, and confidentiality of the information you entrust to us. For any matter related to this Privacy Notice or the processing of your personal data, you may contact us using the information provided herein.

Our principal place of business, for the purpose of receiving notices, is located at 2922 Randolph Rd, #8, Pasadena, TX 77503. This address serves as the administrative center for our operations and the location where our data systems are managed. We employ robust physical, technical, and administrative security measures to prevent the unauthorized alteration, loss, access, or use of your personal information.

All official communications regarding your personal data should be directed to our designated contact point via email at davidiebuilders@gmail.com or by telephone at +1 (281) 712-7162. These channels are the formal means for us to provide diligent attention and an appropriate response to your inquiries and requests, in alignment with the principle of accountability that underpins our privacy governance

2. Primary and Secondary Purposes of Data Processing

The personal data we collect through contact forms, registration fields, and direct chat functionalities on iebuilders.com and the "David Houston" Facebook page is utilized for primary purposes that are essential to the business relationship you initiate with us. These purposes strictly include: identifying and contacting you; providing detailed information and estimates for our construction and project development services; and processing your service requests to facilitate pre-contractual and contractual obligations.

As an ancillary function, and only where we have a proper basis to do so, your data may be utilized for secondary purposes that enhance our service and your user experience. These secondary purposes may encompass sending periodic newsletters with industry insights, delivering information about special promotions, or providing marketing and advertising materials we believe are relevant to your interests. We will only engage in such communications in accordance with applicable marketing laws.

You retain the right to opt out of these secondary communications at any time. Your decision to refuse the use of your personal data for these ancillary purposes will not, in any way, hinder our ability to provide the core services and products you request or contract with us. Instructions for opting out are provided within such communications and detailed in Section 9 of this Notice.

3. Personal Data Subject to Processing

To fulfill the purposes described in this Privacy Notice, The Company will collect and process specific categories of personal information, adhering at all times to the principle of data minimization. The information collected includes: identification data (e.g., full name); contact data (e.g., email address, phone number); and information pertinent to your project (e.g., property location for quoting purposes). This data is sourced directly from you through your voluntary interactions with our digital platforms.

We do not intentionally collect or process "sensitive personal information" as defined by the TDPSA, such as data revealing racial or ethnic origin, religious beliefs, health diagnoses, or genetic data. Our data collection is strictly confined to the information that is adequate, relevant, and reasonably necessary to initiate and maintain a business relationship with you as a prospective client.

You are solely responsible for the accuracy and completeness of the data you provide. By submitting your information, you affirm that it is correct, current, and truthful, and you agree to inform The Company of any changes. Maintaining accurate data is crucial for the effective and professional delivery of our services.

4. Legal Basis for Data Processing

The processing of your personal data is performed upon a valid legal basis, primarily your consent, which you grant by affirmatively providing your information through our website or Facebook page after being presented with this Privacy Notice. Your action of submitting a form or initiating a chat constitutes an informed agreement to the data practices described herein, which are necessary for us to respond to your inquiries and provide our services.

Furthermore, data processing is legally justified by business necessity. To fulfill our potential contractual obligations to you—such as preparing a detailed project estimate or a service agreement—we must process the information you provide. Once a business relationship is formalized, continued processing is necessary for the performance of the contract between you and The Company.

We will not process your personal information for purposes other than those disclosed in this document without first providing you with notice and, where required by law, obtaining your consent. Exceptions are limited to compliance with a legal obligation, a court order, or as otherwise expressly permitted by applicable federal or state law.

5. Disclosure of Personal Data

The Company is committed to not sharing, selling, or transferring your personal information to third parties for their own independent use without your consent, except as permitted or required by law. The term "sell" is used here as it is defined in the TDPSA. We do not "sell" your personal data, and we will not do so in the future without providing you with notice and an opportunity to opt out.

We may disclose your personal information to trusted third-party service providers (processors) who perform functions on our behalf, such as cloud hosting, customer relationship management (CRM) platform administration, and communication services. These providers are contractually obligated to maintain the confidentiality and security of your data and are restricted from using it for any purpose other than to carry out the services they are performing for us.

In certain circumstances, we may be legally required to disclose your information, such as in response to a subpoena, court order, or other governmental request. We may also disclose information to protect our rights and property, to prevent fraud, or to ensure the safety of our users, in strict compliance with the due process of law.

6. Data Security and Confidentiality Measures

We have implemented and continuously maintain a comprehensive information security program with reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards. These measures are designed to protect your personal data from foreseeable threats, including unauthorized access, use, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. Our technical controls include the use of encryption protocols for data in transit (SSL/TLS), firewalls, and logical access controls.

All personnel at The Company with access to personal data are bound by confidentiality obligations and receive training on our data protection policies. Access to your information is strictly limited to authorized employees and contractors who have a legitimate business need to know it in order to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Notice. We regularly assess our security protocols to ensure their continued efficacy.

In the event of a data breach that requires notification under applicable law, we will promptly inform affected individuals and the relevant regulatory authorities as mandated. We will take all necessary and appropriate steps to determine the scope of the breach, mitigate its effects, and implement corrective actions to prevent future occurrences.

8. Your Texas Consumer Privacy Rights

Under the Texas Data Privacy and Security Act (TDPSA), residents of Texas have specific, inalienable rights regarding their personal data. These rights empower you to maintain control over your information. They include the Right to Access, which allows you to confirm if we are processing your data and to access that data, and the Right to Correct inaccuracies in your personal information that we hold.

You also possess the Right to Delete the personal data you have provided to us, subject to certain exceptions. Furthermore, you have the Right to Data Portability, which allows you to obtain a copy of your personal data in a portable and, to the extent technically feasible, readily usable format. These rights collectively provide a robust framework for your data privacy.

To exercise any of these rights, you must submit a verifiable consumer request to us by emailing davidiebuilders@gmail.com. Your request must provide sufficient information to allow us to reasonably verify you are the person about whom we collected personal data. We will respond to your request within 45 days of receipt, as required by the TDPSA.

9. Right to Opt-Out and Limit Data Use

In addition to the rights listed above, you have the absolute right to direct us to stop certain uses of your information. This includes the right to opt-out of the processing of your personal data for the purposes of targeted advertising. You also have the right to opt-out of any "sale" of your personal data, as that term is defined under the TDPSA.

If you have previously consented to receive secondary communications from us, such as marketing emails or newsletters, you may revoke that consent at any time. Every marketing email we send includes a clear and conspicuous "unsubscribe" link that allows you to opt out of future messages. Processing your unsubscribe request will be done promptly and at no cost to you.

To exercise your right to opt-out of targeted advertising or to make any other request to limit the use and disclosure of your data, please contact us at davidiebuilders@gmail.com. While we do not currently "sell" personal data, we will honor your choices regarding how your information is used for promotional purposes. Please note that revoking consent for primary data processing may impact our ability to provide you with our services.
