This document was drafted by Clay with AI assistance as a working starting point. It has not been reviewed or approved by a licensed attorney, and nothing in it should be treated as legal advice or as a binding promise by Cactus Containers.
Anywhere a real decision is still outstanding, the text says so explicitly with a highlighted
[NEEDS CLAY'S INPUT: …] marker rather than guessing at an answer.
Every one of those markers is collected in LEGAL-TODO.md in the private docs folder.
This page carries a noindex tag and is not linked from the site navigation, so search
engines will not list it while it remains a draft.
1. Who we are
Cactus Containers sells, rents and custom-builds shipping containers from three yards in Texas — Decatur, Amarillo and Midland. This notice is meant to describe, in plain language, what personal information the website at cactuscontainerstx.com collects, why, and who else sees it.
This notice is published by Cactus Containers LLC, a Texas limited liability company, at P.O. Box 326, Decatur, TX 76234. We operate yards in Decatur, Amarillo and Midland, Texas.
2. What we collect
Information you give us
The main way we collect personal information is the quote request form. When you fill it in we receive the details you type, which include your name, phone number, email address, delivery ZIP code and whatever you write in the message field.
The quote form asks for: first name, last name, phone number, email address, delivery ZIP code, container type, whether you want to buy or rent-to-own, and a free-text description of your project. It also carries two separate consent tick boxes for text messages — see section 6. Nothing on the form is pre-ticked.
You also give us information when you call a yard or email us directly. We keep what you tell us so we can quote the job and follow up on it.
Information the price estimator handles
The instant price estimator on the home page asks for a delivery ZIP code. The ZIP is matched against a static list of ZIP codes and freight rates that is downloaded into your browser, so entering a ZIP on its own does not send anything to us.
If you then click through from an estimate to the quote form, the site passes your ZIP code and a short summary of what you priced — the container you picked, the estimated total, the destination city and state, and the yard it would ship from — into the quote form so you are not asked the same questions twice. That summary travels to GoHighLevel as part of the form's web address.
Information collected automatically
Like nearly every website, ours is delivered by a web host that records ordinary technical details of each request, which typically include your IP address, browser and device type, the pages you viewed and the page that referred you.
The site is hosted by Netlify. Like any web host, Netlify keeps server access logs containing IP addresses, request times and pages requested, used to serve the site and to investigate abuse. Those logs are Netlify’s, kept under their retention policy, not ours.
The site's typefaces are loaded from api.fontshare.com. Loading a font from another company's servers means that company receives your IP address and basic browser information as part of that request.
3. How the quote form works
The quote form is not built into this website. It is an embedded form provided by GoHighLevel (HighLevel, Inc.), the customer relationship system Cactus Containers uses to manage sales enquiries. When you submit the form, your details go directly to GoHighLevel and are stored there in our account, where our sales team works them.
We use GoHighLevel as a service provider: it processes this information on our behalf so we can respond to you and manage the enquiry. Because the form is embedded from GoHighLevel's own servers, GoHighLevel also sees ordinary technical information about your visit to the page the form sits on.
4. Analytics and advertising technologies
What is running today
As this draft is written, the only outside services this website contacts are the font service at api.fontshare.com and the GoHighLevel form described above. No analytics tag, advertising pixel or call-tracking script is installed in the site's code yet.
What is planned
Cactus Containers intends to add the following, and this section is written so it is ready when they go live:
- Google Tag Manager, a container that loads and manages the tags below, and the Google analytics and advertising products loaded through it. These typically set cookies or similar identifiers in your browser and collect a randomly assigned identifier, your IP address, the pages you view, how you arrived and how you interact with the page.
- Meta Pixel, which lets us measure how many people who saw a Facebook or Instagram advert went on to request a quote, and lets us show adverts to people who have visited the site. It collects an advertising identifier, your IP address, page views and actions such as submitting the quote form, and it can be matched by Meta against a Facebook or Instagram account.
- CallRail, which tracks phone calls. CallRail works by showing different phone numbers to different visitors so we can tell which advert or search brought in a call. It collects the phone number you call from, the number you dialled, the date, time and length of the call, and the browsing session it links the call to.
Google Tag Manager, a Meta advertising pixel and CallRail are in use on this site from launch.
Through Google Tag Manager we load Google Ads conversion tracking, which tells us which advertisements led to a quote request, and basic analytics about which pages people visit and what they click. We do not sell your information.
How to switch advertising tools off
You can opt out at any time. Use the Your privacy choices link in the footer of any page on this site. Opting out stops Google Ads conversion tracking and the Meta pixel from loading at all — it does not merely record a preference while they carry on running. The page reloads when you opt out, which is how we make sure they have actually stopped.
Your choice is stored in your browser, so you will need to set it again on a different device or browser, or if you clear your browsing data.
We honour the Global Privacy Control signal. If your browser sends GPC, we treat that as an opt-out automatically and you do not need to do anything else. Where GPC is switched on, it overrides an earlier choice to allow.
Opting out does not affect a quote you have already sent us, and it does not stop us replying to you. It only concerns advertising measurement.
5. Calls and call tracking
When you call one of our yards we see your phone number and we keep notes on what you need so we can quote the job. Once CallRail is running, we will also have a record of which advert, search or page the call came from, along with the date, time and length of the call.
Yes. Calls to our tracked numbers are recorded. Callers are told at the start of the call by an automated announcement before the call connects.
Recordings are kept indefinitely and are accessible to Cactus Containers staff with an account on our customer system.
6. Text messages and phone consent
The quote form asks you to give consent to be contacted, using two separate tick boxes:
- one for non-marketing messages — texts and calls about the specific quote you asked for, such as confirming a delivery window or sending a price;
- one for marketing messages — texts and calls about promotions, new stock and offers.
These are separate on purpose. Ticking the first does not sign you up for the second, and you can ask for a quote without agreeing to marketing messages. Consent is not a condition of buying or renting anything from us — you can always just call the yard.
To stop text messages, reply STOP to any message you receive from us. You can also reply HELP for help, or email sales@cactuscontainerstx.com and ask us to take you off the list. Message and data rates may apply, and message frequency varies.
7. How we use information
We use the information described above to:
- answer your quote request, price the container and the freight to your site, and get back to you;
- schedule and carry out delivery, and handle anything that comes up afterwards;
- follow up on enquiries that have gone quiet, and — where you have agreed to it — send you marketing texts, calls or emails;
- understand which adverts, searches and pages actually bring in enquiries, so we spend the advertising budget sensibly;
- keep our own business records, and deal with disputes or legal obligations if they arise.
We do not sell personal information for money.
9. Rent-to-own applications
Cactus Containers offers rent-to-own on containers. Rent-to-own applications are handled through a rental partner, not by us directly, and applying means your information goes to that partner so they can process the application and set up the agreement.
Cactus Containers is a referrer, nothing more. If you want rent-to-own, we introduce you to Rental Partners, who run the application, the agreement and the payments. We sell you the container.
That means the application is theirs, not ours. What it asks for, what they do with it and how long they keep it are governed by Rental Partners’ own privacy notice — ask them for it before you apply. We pass on the contact details you have already given us so they can reach you.
If you ask us about rent-to-own we pass your contact details to Rental Partners so they can reach you. Their application, and anything they do as part of it, is theirs — ask them for their privacy notice before you apply.
10. How long we keep information
We keep enquiry and customer information for as long as we need it to do the job you asked for and to run the business afterwards.
11. Your choices and rights
Whatever else applies, these are always available to you:
- Stop texts — reply STOP to any message from us.
- Stop marketing emails — use the unsubscribe link, or email us and ask.
- Ask us what we hold, or ask us to delete it — email sales@cactuscontainerstx.com and we will deal with the request.
- Browser and device controls — most browsers let you block or clear cookies, and mobile operating systems let you limit ad tracking. Blocking cookies may stop parts of the site working normally.
- Advertising opt-outs — Google and Meta each provide their own advert settings and opt-out controls in their account settings.
We offer the same rights to everyone. Rather than working out which state’s law applies to you, Cactus Containers extends the same choices to every visitor regardless of where you live — access to what we hold, correction, deletion, and opting out of advertising-related sharing.
We honour the Global Privacy Control signal. If your browser sends GPC we treat it as an opt-out from advertising-related sharing automatically, for every visitor, without you having to ask. See section 4.
12. Children
This site sells shipping containers to businesses and adults. It is not aimed at children and we do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 13. If you believe a child has given us information, email us and we will remove it.
13. Security
Enquiries submitted through the quote form are stored in our GoHighLevel account, which is protected by the account credentials and security controls that GoHighLevel provides. We take reasonable steps to protect the information we hold, but no website or system can be guaranteed completely secure.
Confirmed as at the date of this notice: two-factor authentication is enabled on the customer system that holds this information, each member of staff has an individual login rather than a shared one, and access is removed when someone leaves.
14. Changes to this notice
We may update this notice as the business changes or as new tools are added to the site. When we do, we will change the effective date at the top of the page.
