Your Privacy, Our Responsibility

How We Protect Your Information

Privacy Policy

Effective date: January 1, 2026

The International Management District (IMD) is committed to protecting your privacy. This policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your information when you visit our website or interact with our services.

Information We Collect

We collect information you provide directly, such as your name, email address, and phone number when you register for events, apply for grants, or submit forms. We also collect information automatically through website analytics, including your IP address, browser type, pages visited, and time spent on our site. Cookies and similar tracking technologies help us understand your preferences and improve your experience.

How We Use Your Information

Your information helps us deliver services, send event notifications, process grant applications, and respond to your inquiries. We use analytics to understand how residents and businesses interact with our site so we can make improvements. We may share information with city and state partners where required by law or to fulfill our mission.

Third-Party Services

Our website uses third-party tools for analytics, mapping, and form management. These services may collect data according to their own privacy policies. We encourage you to review them before providing information. We do not control how third parties use your data, but we require them to maintain nationwide security standards.

Your Rights and Choices

You have the right to access, correct, or request deletion of your personal information. You can opt out of marketing communications at any time. You may disable cookies through your browser settings, though this may limit some website features. Residents of Texas have specific rights under state privacy laws, which we respect fully.

Data Security

We use encryption, firewalls, and secure servers to protect your information from unauthorized access. Our team regularly reviews security practices and updates systems to address emerging threats. However, no method of transmission over the internet is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute protection.

Children’s Privacy

Our website is not intended for children under thirteen. We do not knowingly collect information from children. If we discover we have collected data from a child, we will delete it promptly. Parents who believe their child has provided information should contact us immediately.

Policy Changes

We may update this privacy policy to reflect changes in our practices or legal requirements. We will notify you of significant changes by posting the updated policy on this page with a new effective date. Your continued use of our website constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
