We collect only the necessary personal information to provide our services, which may include:
- Your name
- Contact information (such as address, email, and phone number)
- Details about the services you request
- How We Use Your Information
Your personal information is used solely for:
- Providing and managing HVAC services and support.
- Communicating with you about your service requests, updates, or changes to our services.
- Improving our services based on feedback or service performance.
- Information Security
We take your privacy seriously and have implemented several security measures to protect your data:
- Antivirus Software: We use up-to-date antivirus programs to protect against malware.
- Anti-Phishing and Email Protection: Our email systems are equipped with anti-phishing software and spam filters to prevent unauthorized access or data breaches.
- Data Encryption: Any sensitive data we handle is encrypted both in transit and at rest.
- No Storage of Payment Information: We do not retain any readable credit card or bank information. All payment transactions are processed through secure third-party services.
- Data Sharing and Disclosure
- Non-Disclosure: We do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer your personal information to outside parties. Your data is used exclusively for the purposes described in this policy.
- Third-Party Services: In cases where we need to share data with third-party service providers (e.g., for payment processing), these providers are bound by confidentiality agreements and are only permitted to use your data for the services they provide to us.
- Compliance with Laws and Regulations
Ryan’s AC & Heating is committed to complying with all relevant industry guidelines and regulations concerning data protection and privacy. This includes adherence to:
- State and Federal Laws: We ensure compliance with data protection laws applicable in Texas and the United States.
- Industry Standards: We follow best practices and standards set by the HVAC industry for data security and privacy.
- The TDPSA (Texas Data Privacy and Security Act): As of 2024/2025, most Texas businesses must provide a clear “Privacy Notice” that tells customers they have the right to access, correct, or delete their personal data.
- TDLR License Disclosure: In Texas, HVAC contractors are regulated by the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR).
- Texas Administrative Code (§75.71) requires that the contractor’s license number and company name be visible on the website (usually in the footer or on the Contact/Terms page).
- Consumer Protection: It’s best practice to include a link or mention of the TDLR’s website so customers know where to file grievances—this is a common requirement in Texas service contracts.
- Your Rights
You have the right to:
- Access your personal data.
- Request correction of the personal data that we hold about you.
- Request deletion of your personal data where there is no compelling reason for its continued processing.
