This Privacy Policy explains how Texas Entertainer of the Year (the “Site”) collects, uses, discloses, and safeguards information when you visit the Site, download materials, submit inquiries, and interact with our content. By using the Site, you agree to this Privacy Policy.

We may collect information you voluntarily provide, including:

• Name, email address, phone number, and mailing address
• Messages you send via contact forms, email, or other communications
• Information you provide when you request information or updates
• Any files or information you submit through the Site (if enabled)

When you visit the Site, we may automatically collect:

• IP address, device type, browser type, and operating system
• Site usage data (pages viewed, time spent, referring/exit pages, clicks)
• Approximate location (city/state) inferred from IP address
• Security and diagnostic logs

We may use cookies and similar technologies to:

• Enable core site functionality
• Remember preferences
• Understand site performance and improve user experience
• Measure the effectiveness of communications or promotions (if enabled)

You can control cookies through your browser settings. Disabling cookies may affect some features.

We may use information to:

• Operate and maintain the Site
• Provide access to downloadable information and resources
• Respond to inquiries and provide customer support
• Communicate about event updates, deadlines, and announcements
• Send email or SMS communications if you opt in (see Section 6)
• Improve the Site, content, and user experience
• Protect against fraud, abuse, and security threats
• Comply with legal obligations and enforce policies

We do not sell your personal information for money. We may share information with:

• Service Providers: Vendors who help us operate the Site (hosting, website tools, analytics, email delivery, security, file delivery). They are permitted to use information only to perform services for us.
• Legal/Compliance: If required by law, court order, or to protect rights, safety, and security.
• Business Transfers: If ZUE is involved in a merger, acquisition, financing, or sale of assets, information may be transferred as part of that transaction.

Tickets may be sold through a third-party ticketing platform. Ticket purchase processing, payment handling, and ticketing terms (including refunds and disputes) are governed by that provider’s policies.

If you purchase tickets through a third party:

• The provider may collect payment and billing information under their own privacy policy
• We may receive limited order information (such as name, email, order status, and event check-in details) to support event operations and customer service

The Site may display photos and videos related to events, contestants, and activities. Any contestant-related permissions, releases, and media terms are handled through the official contestant packet and related documents provided to contestants.

If you appear in event media and are not a contestant, and you believe an image or video on the Site should be removed for a legitimate reason, contact us using Section 10 and include:

• A link to the page where the media appears
• A description of the content
• The reason for the request

We will review and respond in a reasonable timeframe, consistent with applicable laws and operational needs.

We may offer:

• Email updates (newsletters, announcements, deadlines)
• SMS/text updates (if implemented)

If you opt in, you can opt out anytime:

• Email: use the unsubscribe link in the email
• SMS: reply STOP (or follow the instructions provided at sign-up)

We may still send non-marketing messages that are necessary for transactions, event operations, or important notices.

We use reasonable safeguards designed to protect your information. However, no online system is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

We retain information as long as reasonably necessary to:

• Provide services and respond to requests
• Maintain business records
• Comply with legal, tax, and accounting obligations
• Resolve disputes and enforce policies

The Site is not intended for children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we learn we have collected such information, we will delete it.
