Location Data Collection in the United States

While there is no federal law specifically governing the collection and use of location data at the national level, some states have taken steps to regulate this practice.

Texas Laws Regulating Location Data Collection

In 2021, the state of Texas passed its own law regulating the collection and use of location data, known as HB 792 (also referred to as the "Location Information Protection Act"). While not as comprehensive as the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), HB 792 provides some protections for Texas residents.

Key Provisions of HB 792

Under HB 792:
- Businesses Must Disclose Location Data Collection: Companies collecting location data must notify users that their information is being collected, used, or shared.
- Individuals Have the Right to Opt-Out: Consumers can opt-out of having their location data collected and used for commercial purposes, such as targeted advertising.

We may collect data through the following methods:

  • Online forms, such as contact forms or email sign-ups.
  • Cookies and other tracking technologies used by our website.
  • Log files, which record information about visitors to our site.
