Last Updated: January 1, 2025

Welcome to Plano Discount Taxi! We protect your data under Texas law. Contact us at 469-422-3454 or [email protected].

Who We Are

Our website address is: https://taxiinplano.com. We are Plano Discount Taxi, serving Plano and beyond with 24/7 taxi and limo services.

We comply with Texas privacy laws to safeguard your information while ensuring reliable rides.

Comments

When visitors leave comments on the site we collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection.

An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.

Media

If you upload images to the website, you should avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) included. Visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from images on the website.

For ride bookings, we collect pickup and drop-off locations but do not request media uploads.

Cookies

If you leave a comment on our site you may opt-in to saving your name, email address and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so that you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies will last for one year.

If you visit our login page, we will set a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.

When you log in, we will also set up several cookies to save your login information and your screen display choices. Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies last for a year. If you select "Remember Me", your login will persist for two weeks. If you log out of your account, the login cookies will be removed.

If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be saved in your browser. This cookie includes no personal data and simply indicates the post ID of the article you just edited. It expires after 1 day. We also use analytics cookies to improve site performance.

Embedded Content from Other Websites

Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.

These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.

Who We Share Your Data With

If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email. We also share data to provide our taxi services:

  • Drivers: Name and pickup/drop-off locations to fulfill bookings.
  • Third-Party Processors: Payment platforms (e.g., Stripe) for secure transactions, analytics tools (e.g., Google Analytics) for site improvement.
  • Partners: Hotels or venues for coordinated pickups, only with your explicit consent.
  • Legal Authorities: If required by law, court order, or for safety (e.g., accident investigations).

We do not sell your data, per TDPSA restrictions.

How Long We Retain Your Data

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.

For users that register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information. Booking data (e.g., name, phone, trip details) is kept for 3 years for service and legal purposes. Payment data is deleted after processing; third-party processors may retain it longer. Analytics data is anonymized and retained indefinitely.

What Rights You Have Over Your Data

If you have an account on this site, or have left comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

Under the Texas Data Privacy and Security Act (TDPSA), Texas residents can also: Confirm if we process your data and access it; Correct inaccuracies; Opt out of targeted advertising, data sales, or profiling with significant effects; Appeal refusals within 45 days. Submit requests to [email protected]; we respond within 45 days (extendable by 45 days if needed). Starting January 1, 2025, use universal opt-out tools (e.g., Global Privacy Control)—we’ll honor them.

Where Your Data Is Sent

Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service. Booking and personal data are stored in the U.S., processed by secure servers and trusted third-party providers (e.g., payment gateways). Using our site from outside the U.S. means you consent to this transfer.

Texas Data Privacy and Security Act (TDPSA) Compliance

We comply with TDPSA, effective July 1, 2024: No data sales without consent, assessments for risks, strict processor contracts.

Texas AG may impose $7,500 fines per violation after a 30-day cure period—your rights are our priority.

Additional Taxi-Specific Information

Booking data (name, phone, email, trips) via 469-422-3454 or online, used only for rides and communication.

Location data for pickups, brief unless required; kids’ data with COPPA consent; encrypted payments.

Data Security

Encryption, secure servers, and audits protect your data—Texas law mandates prompt breach notifications.

Your Choices

Opt out of marketing via email links or contact us; manage cookies; use global opt-out from 2025.
