Privacy Policy

Texas Drone Company (txDroneCo, LLC)

Effective date: April 1, 2026

Texas Drone Company ("txDroneCo," "we," "us," or "our") provides aerial data collection, drone mapping, and site documentation services to construction, engineering, and aggregates clients across Texas.

This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect through our website at txdroneco.com (the "Site"), how we use it, and the choices you have.

We keep this simple on purpose.

If anything here is unclear, email us at [email protected] and we will give you a straight answer.

1. Information We Collect

Information you give us

When you request a quote, fill out a contact form, call us, or email us, we collect what you share with us.

That typically includes:

Your name, company name, and job title
Email address and phone number
Project details, such as the site location, acreage, deliverables you need, and timelines
Any other information you choose to include in your message

You are never required to provide personal information to browse the Site, but we need contact and project details to prepare a quote or perform work for you.

Information collected automatically

Like most websites, we collect some technical information automatically when you visit the Site:

IP address and approximate geographic location
Browser type, device type, and operating system
Pages you visit, how you arrived at the Site, and how long you stay
Cookies and similar technologies (see Section 6)

Our Site is hosted on Squarespace and delivered through Cloudflare.

Both platforms collect standard server logs and analytics data as part of operating the Site.

Project and client data

When you hire us, we collect and process data as part of delivering our services.

That includes aerial imagery, photogrammetry data, terrain models, volumetric measurements, and related project files.

This data belongs to the engagement and is handled under the terms of our service agreement with you.

This Privacy Policy covers it only to the extent it contains personal information.

2. Aerial Imagery and Drone Operations

Drones capture imagery from the air, and we take that responsibility seriously.

We operate under Part 107 of the Federal Aviation Regulations, and our pilots hold FAA Remote Pilot certificates.
We fly with the intent to capture only the project site we have been engaged to map.
Aerial imagery may incidentally capture people, vehicles, or neighboring property at the edges of a project area.

We do not use incidental imagery to identify, track, or profile individuals, and we do not sell it or share it outside the project engagement.
We conduct our operations in accordance with Texas Government Code Chapter 423, which governs the use of unmanned aircraft to capture images in Texas.

If you believe one of our flights captured imagery of you or your property and you have a concern, contact us at [email protected].

We will review the imagery in question and respond to you directly.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

Respond to inquiries and prepare quotes
Schedule, plan, and perform aerial data collection and mapping services
Deliver project files and communicate about active work
Send invoices and process payments
Improve the Site and understand how visitors use it
Send occasional service updates or marketing emails, which you can opt out of at any time
Comply with legal obligations, including FAA recordkeeping requirements

We do not sell your personal information.

We do not share your personal information with third parties for their own marketing.

4. How We Share Information

We share personal information only in these situations:

Service providers. We use trusted vendors to run our business, including website hosting (Squarespace), content delivery and security (Cloudflare), email, cloud storage for project data, and payment processing.

These providers process information on our behalf and are not permitted to use it for their own purposes.
Project subcontractors. For some projects we work with licensed professionals or additional pilots.

We share only what they need to perform their part of the work.
Legal requirements. We may disclose information if required by law, subpoena, or court order, or to protect the rights, safety, or property of txDroneCo, our clients, or others.
Business transfers. If txDroneCo is ever involved in a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, information may transfer as part of that transaction.

We would notify you of any change in ownership or in how your information is handled.

5. Data Retention

We keep contact and inquiry information for as long as we need it to respond to you and maintain our business records.

We retain project deliverables and the underlying flight data so we can support our clients over the life of their projects, which in construction and mining can span years.

If you want information about you deleted, see Section 8.

6. Cookies and Analytics

The Site uses cookies and similar technologies for two purposes:

Essential cookies that make the Site function, provided by Squarespace and Cloudflare.
Analytics cookies that help us understand Site traffic, such as which pages visitors view and how they found us.

You can control cookies through your browser settings, including blocking or deleting them.

Blocking essential cookies may affect how the Site works.

7. Data Security

We use commercially reasonable safeguards to protect your information, including encrypted connections (HTTPS) on the Site, access controls on our systems, and reputable cloud providers for storage.

No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, but we work to protect what you share with us.

8. Your Privacy Rights

You can contact us at any time to:

Ask what personal information we have about you
Ask us to correct inaccurate information
Ask us to delete your personal information
Opt out of marketing emails, either by using the unsubscribe link in any message or by contacting us

Texas residents may have additional rights under the Texas Data Privacy and Security Act.

Residents of other states may have similar rights under their own state laws.

To exercise any of these rights, email [email protected] with your request.

We will verify your identity and respond within a reasonable time, and within any timeframe required by applicable law.

We will never treat you differently for exercising your privacy rights.

9. Children's Privacy

Our Site and services are for businesses and professionals.

They are not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

If you believe a child has provided us personal information, contact us and we will delete it.

10. Third-Party Links

The Site may link to other websites, such as client project portals or industry resources.

This Privacy Policy does not apply to those sites, and we are not responsible for their privacy practices.

11. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time.

When we do, we will update the effective date at the top of this page.

If we make a significant change, we will post a notice on the Site.
