Gulf Coast Containers LLC ("Gulf Coast Containers," "we," "us," or "our") takes the protection of your personal data seriously. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, why we collect it, how we use it, and what choices you have. It applies to our website, our quote request and contact forms, our email newsletter, and our text messaging (SMS) program.
Personal information is any data by which you could be personally identified. We treat your personal data as confidential and handle it in accordance with applicable data protection law and this policy. Please note that data transmitted over the internet, including by email, may be subject to security breaches; complete protection against third-party access is not possible.

The data collected on this website is processed by the website operator:
Gulf Coast Containers LLC
59 Balcones Drive #23766
Austin, TX 78731
Phone: 281-400-5225
The responsible party is the natural or legal person who alone or jointly with others determines the purposes and means of processing personal data.
Some data is collected when you provide it to us directly, for example through a quote request or contact form:
Other data is collected automatically by our systems when you visit the website. This is primarily technical data:
This data is collected as soon as you enter our website and is not combined with data from other sources.
No mobile information will be shared with third parties or affiliates for marketing or promotional purposes.
Information sharing to subcontractors in support services, such as customer service, is permitted. All other use case categories exclude text messaging originator opt-in data and consent; this information will not be shared with any third parties.
You may opt in to receive text messages from Gulf Coast Containers by checking the SMS consent box on our quote request form. The box is never pre-selected and must be actively checked by you. Consent to receive text messages is not a condition of requesting a quote or purchasing any product or service from us.
If you opt in, you may receive text messages regarding your quote, order confirmations, delivery scheduling and driver ETA updates, invoice and payment reminders, and responses to questions you send us. We do not send promotional or marketing text messages.
Message frequency varies based on your order activity.
Message and data rates may apply. Gulf Coast Containers does not charge for text messages, but your mobile carrier's standard rates apply.
You may cancel messages at any time by replying STOP to any message you receive from us. After you reply STOP, we will send a single confirmation message and will not send you further text messages unless you opt in again by replying START.
Reply HELP to any message for assistance, or contact us using the details in Section 22.
Mobile carriers are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages. Delivery is subject to effective transmission by your carrier and is not guaranteed.
If you would like to receive our newsletter, we require a valid email address and information that allows us to verify that you own that address and consent to receive it. No additional data is collected, or it is collected on a voluntary basis only. We use this data solely to send the requested information and do not pass it on to third parties.
You may revoke your consent to the storage of your data and email address, and to their use for the newsletter, at any time, for example through the unsubscribe link in any newsletter. Data we hold for other purposes, such as order records, is unaffected. Data processed before we receive your request may still have been lawfully processed.
Some of our web pages use cookies. Cookies do not harm your computer and do not contain viruses. They are small text files stored on your device by your browser, and they help make our website more user-friendly, efficient, and secure.
Most of the cookies we use are session cookies, which are deleted automatically after your visit. Others remain on your device until you delete them and allow us to recognize your browser on your next visit.
You can configure your browser to notify you when cookies are set so you can accept or reject them case by case, to accept them only under certain conditions, to reject them entirely, or to delete them automatically when you close your browser. Disabling cookies may limit the functionality of this website.
Cookies that are necessary to enable electronic communications or to provide functions you have requested are stored on the basis of our legitimate interest in providing an optimized, technically reliable service. Cookies used to analyze visitor behavior are addressed in Section 8.
The website provider automatically collects and stores the information your browser transmits to us in server log files, listed in Section 2. This data is retained for security, troubleshooting, and abuse prevention, and is not combined with data from other sources.
When you visit our website, statistical analysis may be performed on your browsing behavior, primarily using cookies. This analysis is generally pseudonymized or anonymized, meaning we cannot identify you personally from it. We use it to understand how the site is used so we can improve it and our advertising.
IP addresses are anonymized before storage where our analytics tooling supports it. The information generated about your use of this website is not disclosed to third parties for their own purposes. You can prevent analytics cookies from being stored by adjusting your browser settings, though doing so may limit site functionality. Where the analytics provider offers an opt-out, an opt-out cookie will be stored in your browser; deleting your cookies will also delete the opt-out cookie, and you would need to opt out again.
If you send us questions through a contact or quote request form, we collect the data you enter, including the contact details you provide, in order to answer your question and any follow-up questions. We do not share this information without your permission.
We process the data you enter in these forms on the basis of your consent, which you may revoke at any time by contacting us. Data processed before we receive your request may still have been lawfully processed.
We retain the data you provide until you request its deletion, revoke your consent to its storage, or the purpose for storing it no longer applies, for example once your request has been fulfilled. Mandatory statutory retention periods remain unaffected.
We collect, process, and use personal data only to the extent necessary to establish, perform, or modify our contractual relationship with you. We collect and use usage data generated when you access our website only to the extent required to provide our service to you or to bill you for it.
Customer data is deleted after completion of the order or termination of the business relationship, subject to legal retention periods.
We do not sell your personal information, and we do not disclose it to third parties for advertising purposes without your express consent. We share information only as described below:
As stated in Section 4, mobile opt-in information and SMS consent are excluded from all sharing and are never provided to third parties or affiliates for marketing or promotional purposes.
If you enter into a contract that requires you to send us payment information, we require that data to process your payment. Payment transactions using common payment methods are made only over encrypted SSL or TLS connections. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the "https://" prefix in your browser's address bar and the lock icon. On an encrypted connection, the payment details you submit to us cannot be read by third parties.
We retain personal information for as long as needed to provide our services, maintain business and accounting records, resolve disputes, and comply with our legal obligations. Records tied to completed transactions are generally retained for the period required by applicable tax and commercial law.
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect the information we hold. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
We will respond as required by applicable law. Note that we may need to retain certain records to meet legal, tax, and accounting obligations. Texas residents and residents of other states with applicable privacy laws may have additional rights; contact us to exercise them.
Many data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. You may withdraw your consent at any time with future effect. A request using the contact details in Section 22 is sufficient. Data processed before we receive your request may still have been lawfully processed.
Gulf Coast Containers is a Texas company serving customers in the United States. If you access our website from the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom, the following applies to the extent the GDPR governs our processing of your data.
Our legal bases for processing are: performance of a contract or pre-contractual measures (Art. 6(1)(b)) for customer and contract data; your consent (Art. 6(1)(a)) for contact forms, newsletter, and marketing communications; and our legitimate interests (Art. 6(1)(f)) for server log files, security, necessary cookies, and analytics.
Right to data portability. You have the right to receive data we process on the basis of your consent or in performance of a contract, delivered to yourself or a third party in a standard machine-readable format. Direct transfer to another controller will be carried out only where technically feasible.
Right to lodge a complaint. If you believe there has been a breach of data protection law, you may file a complaint with the competent supervisory authority.
We expressly prohibit the use of contact data published on this website for the purpose of sending promotional or informational material that has not been expressly requested. We reserve the right to take legal action if unsolicited advertising material, such as email spam, is received.
Our services are directed to businesses and adult consumers. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 13. If you believe a child has provided us information, contact us and we will delete it.
Our website may link to sites we do not operate. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those sites, and we encourage you to review their policies.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The revised version will be posted on this page with an updated effective date. Material changes affecting our text messaging program will be reflected here before taking effect.
