Houston in the Now
Effective Date: March 4, 2026
Introduction
Houston in the Now (“we,” “us,” or “our”) is committed to protecting the privacy of our website visitors and clients. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and your rights regarding that information. By accessing or using our website, you agree to the terms of this Privacy Policy.
Information We Collect
Analytics Data (Google Analytics)
We use Google Analytics to collect anonymous, aggregated data about how visitors interact with our website. This may include information such as your IP address (anonymized), browser type and version, operating system, referring website, pages visited and time spent on those pages, geographic location (city/region level), and device type (desktop, tablet, or mobile). Google Analytics uses cookies to collect this information. No personally identifiable information is intentionally collected through Google Analytics. For more information about how Google uses data, please visit Google’s Privacy & Terms page at https://policies.google.com/privacy.
Client Information (Protected Area)
Our website contains a password-protected area that stores client contact information. This information may include client names, email addresses, mailing addresses, phone numbers, website addresses, and social media profiles. This data is entered and managed by authorized personnel only and is not accessible to the general public. Client information stored in the protected area is used solely for the purpose of managing client relationships and is not shared with, sold to, or disclosed to any third parties unless required by law.
How We Use Your Information
We use the information collected through Google Analytics to understand how visitors use our website and to improve our content and user experience. We use client contact information stored in the protected area to manage and maintain our client relationships, communicate with clients as needed, and track referral activity between clients.
Cookies
Our website uses cookies primarily through Google Analytics. Cookies are small text files stored on your device that help us analyze website traffic. You can control or disable cookies through your browser settings. Please note that disabling cookies may affect your experience on our website. We do not use cookies for advertising, remarketing, or tracking across other websites.
Data Sharing and Disclosure
We do not sell, trade, rent, or otherwise share your personal information with third parties for marketing or commercial purposes. Information may be disclosed only in the following circumstances: when required by law, regulation, or legal process; to protect the rights, property, or safety of Houston in the Now, our clients, or others; or with service providers who assist in operating our website (such as Google Analytics), subject to their own privacy policies.
Data Security
We take reasonable measures to protect the information stored on our website. Client contact information is stored in a password-protected area accessible only to authorized users. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect personal information, no method of electronic storage or transmission over the Internet is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

You may opt out of Google Analytics tracking by installing the Google Analytics Opt-Out Browser Add-on, available at https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. You may also adjust your browser settings to refuse cookies or alert you when cookies are being sent.

Children’s Privacy
Our website is not directed at individuals under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If we become aware that we have inadvertently collected personal information from a child under 13, we will take steps to delete that information promptly.
