1. Introduction

The Rice Organization, Inc. ("we," "us," or "our") is an organic landscaping company based in Houston, TX. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect when you visit www.riceorginc.com , how we use it, and the choices you have.

We do not sell products online or process payments through the Site. The information we collect is limited to what you give us directly and what is gathered automatically through cookies and analytics tools. By using the Site, you agree to the practices described here.

2. Information We Collect

We collect two kinds of information.

Information collected automatically. When you visit the Site, we and our analytics providers may collect:

Your IP address and approximate location (city or region)
Browser type, device type, and operating system
Pages you view, links you click, and how long you stay
The website that referred you to us
Cookie identifiers (see Section 4)

Information you give us. When you submit a quote request, contact form, or email sign-up, or when you email or call us, we receive what you choose to share, such as your name, email address, phone number, property address, and details about your project.

We do not knowingly collect sensitive personal information such as Social Security numbers, financial account numbers, or health information.

3. How We Use Information

We use the information we collect to:

Operate, maintain, and improve the Site
Understand which pages and services interest visitors
Respond to your messages and quote requests, and prepare the estimates you ask for
Protect the Site against fraud, abuse, and security threats
Comply with legal obligations

[If you sign up for our email list, we also use your email address to send you updates, seasonal tips, or offers from The Rice Organization, Inc.. You can unsubscribe at any time using the link in any email or by contacting us.] We do not use your information for automated decision-making that has legal or similarly significant effects on you.

4. Cookies and Analytics

Cookies are small text files stored on your device. We use them to remember your preferences and to measure how the Site is used.

Analytics. We use Google Analytics and Google Search Console to understand Site traffic. It collects information such as pages visited and time on site through cookies and similar technologies. You can learn how Google handles this data at [policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites].

Your cookie choices.

Most browsers let you block or delete cookies in their settings. Blocking cookies may affect how parts of the Site work.
You can opt out of Google Analytics by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
If your browser sends a Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal, we treat it as a request to opt out of sharing for advertising purposes where required by law.

[If you use advertising pixels such as Meta Pixel or Google Ads, add them here and tell me, since they change your disclosures.

5. How We Share Information

We do not sell your personal information. We share it only in these situations:

Service providers. Companies that help us run the Site, such as our analytics provider, web host, and wix , who may use the information only to perform services for us.
Legal reasons. When required by law, subpoena, or legal process, or to protect our rights, property, or safety or that of others.
Business transfers. If we merge with, or sell all or part of our business to, another company, your information may transfer as part of that deal.

Because analytics cookies can count as "sharing" under some state laws, see Section 7 for how to opt out.

6. Data Retention and Security

We keep personal information only as long as needed for the purposes in this policy, unless the law requires longer. Analytics data is typically retained for [14 months], matching the setting in your Google Analytics account.

We use reasonable safeguards, such as secure hosting and access controls, to protect information. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

7. Your Choices and US State Privacy Rights

Depending on where you live (for example California, Colorado, Connecticut, Virginia, or Texas), you may have the right to:

Know what personal information we collect and how we use it
Request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal information
Opt out of the sale or sharing of your personal information for targeted advertising
Not be treated unfairly for exercising these rights

To make a request, email us at laura@riceorginc.com. We may need to verify your identity, and we will respond within the time required by law (generally 45 days). You can also opt out of analytics cookies using the steps in Section 4.

8. Children, Third-Party Links, Changes, and Contact

Children. The Site is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect their personal information. If you believe a child has given us information, contact us and we will delete it.

Third-party links. The Site may link to other websites. We are not responsible for their privacy practices.
