This Privacy Policy explains what personal information we collect when you visit techscoopaustin.com, subscribe to our newsletter, or contact us, how we use it, and the choices and rights you have.

Who is responsible

CGN Entertainment is responsible for personal information collected through this website. For any privacy question or request, reach us through our contact page.

Information we collect

Information you give us

  • Identifiers such as your email address, when you subscribe to our newsletter.
  • Your name, email address, and message, when you contact us with a question, story tip, correction, or complaint.

Information collected automatically

  • Device and browser information, such as browser type and operating system.
  • Internet activity, such as pages viewed, time on page, and the website that referred you.
  • Your IP address and the approximate location derived from it.
  • Server and security logs, such as IP address and the date and time of each request.

Cookies

We use essential cookies that the site needs to work and stay secure, and analytics cookies from services such as Google Analytics that show us how readers use the site. You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings and still read the site. Learn how Google uses data at policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites. Our site does not currently respond to browser “Do Not Track” signals.

How we use your information

  • To send you the newsletter you asked for.
  • To respond to your messages, tips, corrections, and complaints.
  • To understand our readership and improve our coverage and the site.
  • To keep the site secure and prevent spam and abuse.
  • To comply with legal obligations.

We do not sell your personal information, and we do not share it for targeted advertising. Every newsletter includes an unsubscribe link, in line with the CAN-SPAM Act.

Who we share it with

We share personal information only with service providers that help us run the site — web hosting, email delivery, analytics, and security and spam prevention — and only as needed for those services. We may also disclose information where required by law, to protect our rights or the safety of others, or as part of a merger, acquisition, or sale of the publication.

Where your information is processed

CGN Entertainment is based in Canada, and our service providers may process information in the United States, Canada, and other countries.

How long we keep it

  • Newsletter subscriptions: until you unsubscribe.
  • Messages: as long as needed to handle your request and any follow-up, then deleted.
  • Analytics data: for the retention period set in our analytics tools.
  • Server and security logs: for a short period, unless needed to investigate an incident.

Your privacy rights

Depending on where you live — including Texas, California, and other U.S. states with consumer privacy laws — you may have the right to:

  • Know and access the personal information we have about you.
  • Correct inaccurate personal information.
  • Delete your personal information.
  • Get a copy of your personal information in a portable format.
  • Opt out of the sale of personal information, targeted advertising, or profiling. We do not engage in these.

To make a request, use our contact page. We will verify your request and respond within the time required by applicable law, and we will not discriminate against you for exercising your rights. If we decline your request, you may appeal by replying to our decision; if your appeal is denied, Texas residents may contact the Texas Attorney General.

Children

This site is not directed at children, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has given us personal information, contact us and we will delete it.

Security

We use reasonable safeguards, including encrypted (HTTPS) connections, to protect personal information. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure.

Links to other websites

Our stories link to other websites. We are not responsible for their privacy practices, so please read their policies.
