Privacy Policy

Plain language. No legalese. Here's exactly what we collect, how we use it, and what your rights are.

Who we are

Permian Produced Water

We operate PermianProducedWater.com — the Permian Basin's service provider network for produced water, connecting operators with disposal, recycling, logistics, and beneficial reuse providers. We also publish free regulatory guidance and market intelligence. We're based in Midland, Texas. You can reach us at info@permianproducedwater.com.


Section 1

What we collect

We collect information in two ways — directly from you when you fill out a form, and automatically when you visit the site.

Information you give us directly

When you sign up for our newsletter, request PDF or regulatory alerts, contact us, submit a produced water need, get listed, or purchase a membership, we collect whatever you provide — which may include your name, company, email address, phone number, service area, listing details, and details about your produced water situation. We only collect what you voluntarily enter. Nothing is required beyond what's marked on the form.

Information collected automatically

When you visit the site, Google Analytics 4 automatically collects standard web analytics data — pages visited, time on site, browser type, device type, and approximate location (city/region level, not your exact address). This is standard practice for every website you visit. We use it to understand how people use the site and improve it over time.


Section 2

How we use it

We use your information only for the purpose you submitted it for:

  • Newsletter and PDF alert signups — we send you regulatory updates, PDF-related rule adoption alerts, and market intelligence. You can unsubscribe at any time by replying to any email with "unsubscribe" or emailing us directly.
  • Contact form submissions — we respond to your message. We don't add you to any list unless you ask us to.
  • RFQ submissions — your need is routed to relevant confirmed service providers matching your category and selected service areas. They contact you directly. We do not follow up on your behalf or act as an intermediary.
  • Membership payments — Stripe processes checkout and recurring billing. We use payment status and checkout details to activate listings, manage subscriptions, and route matching RFQs.
  • Analytics data — we use it to understand which pages are most useful, where visitors come from, and how to improve the site. We don't use it to identify individuals.

Section 3

Who we share it with

We do not sell your information. We do not share it with advertisers. The only third parties that touch your data are the tools we use to operate the site:

Service What they receive Why
Make.com Form submission data Automation — routes submissions to our Google Sheet and sends us email alerts
Google Sheets Form submission data We store submissions here to manage follow-up and track leads
Google Analytics Anonymous web analytics Site traffic and usage analysis
Stripe Checkout and subscription data Payment processing, subscription billing, invoices, and payment status
Bluehost Standard web server logs Website hosting

Each of these services has their own privacy policy governing how they handle data. We've chosen tools with strong privacy practices and do not authorize them to use your data for their own purposes.


Section 4

How long we keep it

We keep form submission data as long as it's useful for the purpose it was submitted — typically as long as there's an active business relationship or inquiry. Newsletter subscribers remain on our list until they unsubscribe. If you'd like your data removed at any time, email us at info@permianproducedwater.com and we'll delete it promptly.


Section 5

Cookies

Google Analytics sets cookies in your browser to track visits and behavior across sessions. These are standard analytics cookies — they don't store personal information and don't track you across other websites for advertising purposes. You can disable cookies in your browser settings at any time, though this may affect how some parts of the site function.


Section 6

Your rights

You have the right to:

  • Access — ask us what information we have about you
  • Correction — ask us to correct inaccurate information
  • Deletion — ask us to delete your information
  • Unsubscribe — opt out of the newsletter at any time

To exercise any of these rights, email info@permianproducedwater.com. We'll respond within 5 business days.


Section 7

Changes to this policy

If we make material changes to this policy we'll update the "last updated" date at the top of this page. We won't reduce your rights under this policy without giving you the chance to opt out first.


Questions
