Privacy, Security, & Your Information

Texas SBA Respects your privacy and maintains its website, www.texassba.org, on a secured website with all information being encrytped up to 256-bits for your and our security.

We will not give any information about you to others without your express permission.

Our site uses forms in which you give us contact and financial information (your name, address, daytime telephone number, email address, credit score, annual sales, etcetera) so you can place orders, request information and support, and make product suggestions. We have created a Members Access area where upon membership each Texas SBA member must pass through firewalls that request member id / log-in and password information to access Texas SBA programs and applications. This Member Access will will be your "home base" for receiving information of your direct interest as stated on your membership application / registration form and through discussions with your Texas SBA agent or at Texas SBA's discretion. If you contact us for support, we will keep an internal record of what support was given. We use your customer information only when it will be important for us to contact you regarding functionality changes to our products, our web site, new Texas SBA services, and special offers we think you'll find valuable. If you would rather not receive this information, please notify your Texas SBA agent if your change in preferences. If we present a co-branded offer with our partners or affiliates, it will be clear at the point of collection who is collecting the information and whose privacy statement applies.

We may use third-party advertising companies to serve ads on our behalf. These companies may employ cookies and action tags (also known as single pixel gifs or web beacons) to measure advertising effectiveness. Any information that these third parties collect via cookies and action tags is completely anonymous. If you would like more information about this practice and your choices, please contact your Texas SBA agent.

To service your areas of interest, our partners may require us to share your personal information with them and only such information as needed to facilitate your interest will be given. We will always notify you as to who we have forwarded your information as well as their contact information.

We use information gathered about you from our site statistics (for example your IP address) to help diagnose problems with our server, and to administer our Web site. We also gather broad demographic information from this data to help us improve our site and make your browsing and membership experience more enjoyable. This is not linked to any personally identifiable information, except as necessary to prevent fraud or abuse on our system.

We use cookies to identify you so you don't have to login each time you visit our site. They are linked to your member id / log-in number which is associated with the information for your membership.

This site also contains links to other sites and immediately notifies the user that they will be leaving Texas SBA Secured Website and being forwarded to another website.
