Privacy Policy
How M&L HVAC collects, uses, shares, and protects your personal information — and the choices you have.
Last updated: August 26, 2026
M&L HVAC, LLC ("M&L HVAC," "we," "us," or "our") is a heating, cooling and refrigeration contractor based at 1317 N San Patricio St, Goliad, TX 77963, serving Goliad and the surrounding South Texas communities. This Privacy Policy explains what personal information we collect when you visit mlhvacllc.com, call us, or request service; why we collect it; who we share it with; and how you can exercise your privacy rights. It applies to this website and to the service, sales and employment relationships that begin here.
By using this site or submitting a request through it, you acknowledge the practices described below. If you do not agree with this policy, please do not use the site — you are always welcome to reach us directly at (361) 419-1837.
1. Information We Collect
We collect only what we need to quote, schedule, perform and stand behind HVAC and refrigeration work. In the twelve months before the date above, we have collected the following categories of personal information:
- Identifiers — your name, service and billing address, email address, phone number, and (if you contact us from this site) your IP address and device identifiers.
- Customer records — the equipment at your property, its make, model and age, the work we performed, warranty status, maintenance-plan enrollment, and your service history with us.
- Commercial information — estimates, invoices, the services you purchased, and records of payment. We do not store full payment card numbers; see “Payment Security” below.
- Internet and network activity — the pages you view on this site, the page that referred you, your browser type and operating system, and general (city-level) location inferred from your IP address.
- Geolocation data — the service address you give us, so we can dispatch a technician. We do not collect precise location from your device.
- Audio and electronic communications — the content of emails, text messages and form submissions you send us, and notes from our phone conversations.
- Professional information — if you apply for a job through our Careers page: your work history, the position you are seeking, and anything else you choose to tell us.
We do not knowingly collect sensitive personal information such as government identifiers, precise geolocation, health data, biometric data, or information about your race, religion, union membership or sexual orientation. Please do not send us that information through this website.
2. How We Collect It
We obtain personal information from three places:
- Directly from you — when you complete a form on this site, call or text us, email us, apply for a job, or let a technician into your home or business.
- Automatically from your device — through cookies and similar technologies as you browse, described in section 4.
- From service providers — for example, our spam-screening and hosting providers pass along the submission they processed on our behalf, and equipment manufacturers may share warranty registration details for equipment we installed.
3. How We Use Your Information
We use the information described above to:
- Respond to your inquiry and provide a quote or estimate
- Schedule, dispatch and complete service, installation and repair work
- Process payments, issue invoices, and administer financing applications
- Send appointment confirmations, technician-on-the-way notices, maintenance reminders and warranty notices
- Honor warranties and maintenance-plan commitments, and keep the service records that make that possible
- Answer questions, resolve complaints and provide customer support
- Evaluate employment applications
- Understand how this website is used so we can make it faster, clearer and more accessible
- Detect and prevent fraud, spam and abuse of our forms, and protect the security of our systems
- Comply with our legal obligations, including Texas contractor licensing, refrigerant handling and tax recordkeeping requirements
We do not use your personal information to make automated decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects about you, and we do not use it to train machine-learning models.
4. Cookies and Similar Technologies
Cookies are small files your browser stores when you visit a site. We use strictly necessary cookies to keep this site secure, to protect our forms from automated abuse, and to remember the privacy choice you make in our consent banner. Those cannot be switched off without breaking the site.
Optional cookies are governed by the banner shown on your first visit. Until you make a choice, visitors in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and Switzerland have analytics and advertising storage denied by default. Elsewhere, including in the United States, optional cookies operate on an opt-out basis and you may decline at any time.
The third parties that receive information through this website, and what each one does, are:
- Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics — Measures how visitors find and use this site — pages viewed, approximate location, referring source, and device type — so we can improve it. These are the cookies your consent choice controls.
- Google reCAPTCHA Enterprise — Screens our contact and careers forms for automated abuse. Google receives your IP address, browser and device signals, and interaction data in order to score the submission.
- Google Fonts — Serves the typefaces used across this site. Your browser requests the font files from Google, which receives your IP address as part of that request.
- CI Web Group (hosting and form delivery) — Hosts this website and receives the contents of any form you submit so it can be routed to us by email and stored in our customer records.
- Optimus Financing / EGIA — Operates the financing application we link to from our Financing page. If you choose to apply, you leave our site and their privacy policy governs the application.
You can also block or delete cookies through your browser settings. Doing so may limit parts of the site.
5. Calls and Text Messages
If you give us your phone number, we will use it to reach you about the service you asked for. We only send SMS or text messages to a number when you have checked the separate, unchecked consent box next to that request — consent to receive texts is never bundled into anything else and is never a condition of purchasing any service.
Message frequency varies. Message and data rates may apply. Reply STOP to any message to unsubscribe, or HELP for help. We do not sell or share mobile phone numbers or SMS consent with third parties for their own marketing.
6. How We Share Information
We do not sell your personal information for money. We share it only in these situations:
- Service providers — the vendors listed in section 4, plus our payment processor and accounting provider. Each is permitted to use your information only to perform work for us.
- Equipment manufacturers and distributors — to register a warranty or order the correct part for your system.
- Financing partners — only if you choose to apply for financing, and only the information you submit to them.
- Legal and safety — when required by law, subpoena or court order, or to protect the rights, property or safety of our customers, our team or the public.
- Business transfer — if our business is sold or merged, customer records may transfer as part of that transaction.
Advertising cookies, if you allow them, may constitute “sharing” for cross-context behavioral advertising under California law even though no money changes hands. Declining optional cookies, or sending a Global Privacy Control signal, stops that.
7. Your Privacy Choices
Your California Privacy Rights — Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information
This section applies to California residents under the California Consumer Privacy Act as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA). We extend the same choices to every visitor, wherever you live.
Categories of personal information we collect. Identifiers; customer records; commercial information; internet and network activity; geolocation limited to the service address you provide; audio and electronic communications; and, for applicants, professional or employment information. Section 1 describes each in detail, section 3 explains why we collect it, and section 4 names every third party that receives it.
Sale and sharing. We do not sell personal information, and we have not sold personal information in the preceding twelve months. We do not knowingly sell or share the personal information of anyone under 16. If you allow advertising cookies, the resulting disclosure to our advertising vendors may count as “sharing” for cross-context behavioral advertising under the CPRA — which is precisely what the opt-out below turns off.
Your rights. Subject to verification, you have the right to:
- Opt out of the sale or sharing of your personal information, including for cross-context behavioral advertising
- Know what personal information we have collected about you, where it came from, why we collected it, and who we disclosed it to
- Delete the personal information we hold about you, subject to the records we must keep for warranty, tax and licensing purposes
- Correct personal information you believe is inaccurate
- Limit our use of sensitive personal information — noting that we do not collect it in the first place
Non-discrimination. We will never deny you service, charge you a different price, give you a lower level of service, or penalize you in any way for exercising any of these rights. Our pricing does not change based on your privacy choices.
How to opt out. You have three ways, and none of them requires you to create an account:
- Use the control on this page. Select the button below to reopen your privacy preferences and switch advertising and analytics cookies off. Your choice is stored on your device and re-applied on every future visit.
- Send a Global Privacy Control signal. We honor GPC. If your browser or an extension transmits the GPC signal, we treat it as a valid opt-out of sale and sharing automatically — you do not need to do anything else, and no banner interaction is required.
- Contact us directly. Email [email protected] or call (361) 419-1837 and tell us you want to opt out, or that you want to know, delete or correct your information. We will respond within 45 days and may ask you for information sufficient to verify your identity before we act on a know, delete or correct request.
You may use an authorized agent to submit a request on your behalf; we may ask the agent for written proof of authorization.

8. Payment Security
We never ask for and never accept credit or debit card numbers through this website. No page on mlhvacllc.com contains a card-entry field.
Payment for completed work is taken in person or over the phone through our payment processor's own PCI-DSS compliant systems, and financing applications are completed on our financing partner's secure, externally hosted application — you leave this site to do it. Card numbers, security codes and expiration dates are handled by those providers and are not stored on our servers. We retain only the non-sensitive record of a transaction, such as the amount, date and the last four digits of the card, that we need for invoicing and warranty purposes.
9. Data Retention
We keep service and warranty records for as long as we support the equipment we installed or serviced, and for as long afterward as Texas law requires us to retain business and tax records. Inquiries that do not become jobs are kept only as long as needed to follow up. Job applications are retained for a reasonable period after the position is filled. When information is no longer needed for any of these purposes, we delete it or render it unreadable.
10. How We Protect Your Information
This site is served over encrypted HTTPS connections, and form submissions are transmitted over encrypted channels and screened for automated abuse before they reach us. Access to customer records is limited to the people who need it to do their jobs. No method of transmission or storage is perfectly secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security — but if a breach affecting your personal information occurs, we will notify you as required by Texas law.
11. Children's Privacy
This website is intended for adults arranging HVAC and refrigeration services. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13, and we do not knowingly sell or share the personal information of anyone under 16. If you believe a child has given us personal information, contact us and we will delete it.
12. Third-Party Websites
Our site links to places we do not control — our financing partner's application, our Google Business Profile, our Facebook page, and manufacturer websites. This policy does not cover them. Review the privacy policy of any site you visit from ours.
13. Changes to This Policy
We may update this policy as our practices, our tools or the law change. The “Last updated” date at the top of this page always reflects the current version. Material changes will be posted here before they take effect, and your continued use of the site afterward means you accept the updated policy.
