- Legal requirements: when required by law, court order, or to protect the rights and safety of our users.

5. Cookies and analytics
We use first-party analytics to understand how visitors use the site. We do not use Google Analytics or Meta Pixel by default. If you are a Own the Works customer who has enabled Google Tag Manager, your site's cookie behavior is governed by your own privacy policy and GTM configuration.
You can disable cookies in your browser settings. Disabling cookies will not affect your ability to read the site, but will prevent session-based features (booking, account login) from working.
6. TCPA and telephone communications
If you provide a phone number through any form on this site, you will be presented with explicit, unbundled consent language before submission. Consent to receive autodialed calls or text messages is never a condition of purchase. You may opt out of text messages at any time by replying STOP. You may opt out of calls by requesting removal from our call list at hello@owntheworks.com.
We record the timestamp, IP address, and consent language version for each TCPA consent submission. These records are retained for a minimum of 5 years.
7. Data retention
We retain personal data for as long as necessary to provide services and comply with legal obligations. Lead records are retained for 3 years. Customer records are retained for 7 years (tax and accounting requirements). You may request deletion of your data at any time; we will comply within 30 days except where retention is required by law.
8. Your rights
Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the right to access, correct, delete, or port your personal data, and to object to or restrict certain processing. To exercise these rights, contact us at hello@owntheworks.com. Texas residents: see the Texas Data Privacy and Security Act (TDPSA) for applicable rights.
9. Children
This site is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe we have done so, contact us immediately.
10. Changes to this policy
We will post material changes to this policy with at least 14 days' notice before they take effect. The effective date at the top of this page will be updated. Continued use of the site after the effective date constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
