Tuerff-Davis EnviroMedia is the advertising/public relations agency of record
for the Texas Department of State Health Services. Tuerff-Davis EnviroMedia (EnviroMedia)
has a policy to respect and protect the privacy of its users. This privacy
policy statement tells you how we collect information from you and how we
use it. Using the Internet should be a fun experience and we want to help
you make it so.
The information you provide to us will not be disclosed to third parties
without your consent. We may share aggregate information about our users to
others (for example, our website developer), however, to customize the content
on our site and to deliver a better experience for our users.
There are cases where EnviroMedia may request personal information such as
your name, e-mail address and birth date. For example, we request personal
information when you request information, brochures or information, or for
services that require registration (for example, entrance in a sweepstakes).
We need to collect this information for complying with your requests, fulfilling
prizes and for tracking/verifying compliance with EnviroMedia’s policies
as well as federal, state and local laws. We will not use any personal information
for any purpose except for its intended use, which shall be disclosed at the
time such information is requested.
In case you change your mind or some personal information changes (such as
your ZIP code), we will endeavor to provide a way to correct, update or remove
the personal data you give us. You can do this by contacting our Webmaster
through the ducktexas.com website.
We may disclose user information in special cases when we have reason to
believe that disclosing this information is necessary to identify, contact
or bring legal action against someone who may be causing injury to or interference
with (either intentionally or unintentionally) our rights or property, or
anyone else that could be harmed by such activities. We may also disclose
user information when we believe in good faith that the law requires it.
OPTING OUT
To keep you in control of your personal information and the communications
directed to you, you may opt out of receiving communications from this website
about new features or services or updates to the website. If you object to
such use for any reason, you may ask to be removed from our lists by replying
to the address contained in each communication.
POLICY FOR MINORS
EnviroMedia encourages parents and guardians to spend time online with their
children and to participate in the activities offered on the sites.
EnviroMedia does not provide any personally identifying information, regardless
of its source, to any third party for any purpose whatsoever from our guests,
including minors. When a minor registers for a sweepstakes or contest, we
will only use any personally identifiable information for internal purposes
and for purposes of awarding the prize. Although minors may be allowed to
participate in some contests and promotions, if such a guest wins, prizes
will be awarded to the entrant’s parent or legal guardian. Publication
of names, ages or images for promotion winners who are minors requires parental
or guardian consent.
We encourage our guests who are under 18 years of age to seek parental consent
before providing any personal identifying information on our site.
USE OF IP ADDRESSES
An IP address is a number that's automatically assigned to your computer
whenever you're surfing the Web. Web servers -- the big computers that "serve
up" Web pages -- automatically identify your computer by its IP address.
We may collect IP addresses for the purpose of system administration, to review
aggregate information and to audit the use of our site. When guests request
pages from this website, our servers may log the guests' IP addresses. We
do not normally link IP addresses to anything personally identifiable, which
means that a user's session will be logged, but the user remains anonymous
to us. We can and will use IP addresses to identify a user when we feel it
is necessary to enforce compliance with our house rules or terms of service
or to protect our service, site, customers or others.
USE OF COOKIES
What are cookies? Cookies are pieces of information that a website transfers
to an individual's hard drive for record-keeping purposes. Cookies make Web-surfing
easier for you by saving your preferences while you're at our site. The use
of cookies is an industry standard -- you'll find them at most major websites.
By showing how and when guests use a site, cookies may help us see which areas
are popular and which are not. Many improvements and updates to the site are
based on such data as total number of visitors and pages viewed. This information
is most easily tracked with cookies. We may use the information from cookies
to provide services better tailored to our users needs.
We have two primary uses for cookies. First, we may use them to specify unique
preferences. This way you don't have to tell us over and over again about
the kinds of information you want to see. Secondly, we use cookies to track
user trends and patterns. This helps us better understand and improve areas
of the website that our users find valuable. While both of these activities
depend on the use of a cookie, visitors to this website always have the option
of disabling cookies via their browser preferences. Most browsers are initially
set up to accept cookies. You can reset your browser to refuse all cookies
or indicate when a cookie is being sent.
LINKS TO OTHER SITES
Users should be aware that when they are on this website, they could be directed
to other sites that are beyond our control. There are links to other sites
from our pages that take you outside our service. These other sites may send
their own cookies to users, collect data or solicit personal information.
Please keep in mind that whenever you give out personal information online,
that information can be collected and used by people you don't know. While
we strive to protect users' personal information and privacy, we cannot guarantee
the security of any information you disclose online and you do so at your
own risk. Our policy does not extend to anything that is inherent in the operation
of the Internet, and therefore beyond our control, and is not to be applied
in any manner contrary to applicable law or governmental regulation.
SECURITY
The importance of security for all personally identifiable information associated
with our guests is of utmost concern to us. We exercise great care in providing
secure transmission of your information from your PC to our servers. Unfortunately,
no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure.
As a result, EnviroMedia cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information
you transmit to us or from our online products or services, and you do so
at your own risk.
Remember to sign out and close your browser window when you have finished
visiting our site. This is to ensure that others cannot access your personal
information and correspondence if your computer is accessible to others or
if you share a computer with someone else or are using a computer in a public
place like a library or Internet café.

Please note that it is our policy not to accept or consider unsolicited creative,
production-related or other materials of any kind. We appreciate your cooperation
