Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy describes how Hadassah Enterprises Incorporated, operating the Texas LLC Service brand ("Company," "we," "us," or "our"), collects, uses, protects, and discloses your personal information when you use our website at Texasllcservice.com and our services. By using our Services you agree to this Privacy Policy.

1. Why Privacy Comes First Here

Privacy is foundational to how we operate. Texas requires LLCs to name their governing persons on the annual Public Information Report. We hold privacy as a first principle: we collect only what state law requires, file with privacy-respecting defaults, and never sell or share what we collect.

As your registered agent, we are required by Texas law to maintain certain records about your entity. Those records are protected by Texas confidentiality law. We hold the same privacy principles you are choosing today — privacy matters and it is worth protecting.

Texas confidentiality law requires the Texas Secretary of State to hold all records obtained from registered agents confidential. That information may only be released pursuant to a court-ordered subpoena or to a bona fide law enforcement agency for use in a criminal investigation. It cannot be released in response to civil lawsuits, creditor inquiries, or private investigator requests.

2. Information We Collect

2.1 Information You Provide

• Entity Information: LLC name, entity type, mailing address, principal office address
• Member/Manager Information: Names and addresses of directors, officers, LLC managers, or managing partners (required by Texas state law — see Section 3 below)
• Contact Information: Name, phone number, and email address of your authorized communications contact
• Filing Information: Information necessary to prepare and file state and federal forms, such as business purpose, entity structure, and tax elections you have chosen
• Payment Information: Billing name and billing address. Credit card numbers are processed by our PCI DSS-compliant third-party payment processor and are never stored on our systems.

2.2 Information We Collect Automatically

• Website Usage: Pages visited, time on page, and referring URLs — used in aggregate to improve our site, not to identify you individually
• Technical Data: Browser type, device type, and IP address — collected for security purposes only

2.3 What We Do NOT Collect

We do not collect Social Security Numbers unless you specifically request an EIN filing service that requires one. If an SSN is provided for EIN purposes, it is used solely for that purpose, transmitted securely to the IRS, and not retained after the filing is complete. We do not use advertising tracking pixels from third-party advertising networks.

3. Why We Collect Member and Manager Information

4. How Texas Law Protects Your Information

Under Texas confidentiality law, your member and manager information is protected as follows:

• The Texas Secretary of State holds all records obtained from registered agents CONFIDENTIAL
• This information may only be released pursuant to:
  • A court-ordered subpoena, or
  • A bona fide law enforcement agency conducting a criminal investigation

Your member and manager information does not appear on:

• Any public filing with the Texas Secretary of State
• Annual reports filed with the state
• Any searchable public database
• Any document available through public records requests
• Any record available to civil litigants, creditors, or private investigators

5. How We Use Your Information

We use your information solely to:

• Prepare and file documents with state and federal agencies on your behalf
• Provide registered agent services, including accepting and forwarding service of process
• Send you compliance calendar reminders and filing deadline notifications for your entity
• Communicate with you about your account and services you have purchased
• Comply with our legal obligations under Texas law
• Process your payments through our secure payment processor
• Respond to your questions and customer service requests

We do not use your information to build marketing profiles, sell advertising, or share your data with anyone whose purpose is to sell you something unrelated to the services you purchased from us.

6. What We Will NEVER Do With Your Information

7. How We Protect Your Data

• Authorized Service Providers: With our trusted processing partners who assist in delivering your services (e.g., state filing platforms, payment processors), who are contractually bound to protect your information and use it only for the purpose you directed

We will notify you if we receive a subpoena or other legal demand for your information, unless we are legally prohibited from doing so.

If we become aware that we have inadvertently collected information from a minor, we will delete it promptly. If you believe we may have collected information from a child, please contact us immediately through our contact form.

14. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technology, legal requirements, or for other legitimate business reasons. When we make material changes, we will update the effective date at the top of this page and — where feasible — notify active customers by email. Your continued use of our services after any change constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy.

15. Frequently Asked Questions

Does Texas LLC Service sell my personal information?

No. We never sell, rent, trade, or exchange your personal information with any third party. Ever. Your data exists to serve you — period.

Why do you need my name and address as an LLC member or manager?

Texas state law requires registered agents to keep the names and addresses of each LLC's managers on file. This is a legal obligation, not our preference. We collect only what the law requires, and that information is protected from public disclosure under Tex. BOC § 5.201.

Will my name appear on any public filing?

Texas requires the names of your LLC's governing persons on the annual Public Information Report. The information we collect under Texas state law is held confidential by the Texas Secretary of State and may only be released pursuant to a court-ordered subpoena or a law enforcement criminal investigation — not in response to creditor requests, civil lawsuits, or private investigators.

What happens to my data if I cancel?

When you terminate services, we retain your records for the minimum period required by applicable law. After that period, your records are securely deleted. We do not sell or share your data after you leave — we never did in the first place.

How do I request a copy of my data or ask for it to be deleted?

Use our contact form and include "Data Request" in your message. We will acknowledge your request within 3 business days and fulfill it within 30 days. Deletion requests are honored subject to our obligation to retain records for entities we currently represent as registered agent.

Do you use my email address to spam me?

No. We send compliance reminders and account communications related to your services. We may occasionally share news about our company or services that might be useful to you. You can opt out of any communication at any time by clicking unsubscribe or emailing us. We're here to serve you, not fill your inbox.
