7. Data Security
PPA maintains reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect personal and business information against unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, loss, or destruction.

9. Texas Privacy Rights
PPA is committed to complying with applicable Texas privacy requirements.
The Texas Data Privacy and Security Act provides certain Texas residents with rights regarding their personal data, subject to applicable exemptions, limitations, and verification requirements. Depending on applicability, these rights may include:
- The right to confirm whether personal data is being processed;
- The right to access personal data;
- The right to correct inaccuracies;
- The right to request deletion of personal data;
- The right to obtain a copy of personal data in a portable format where applicable;
- The right to opt out of certain processing activities, including the sale of personal data, targeted advertising, or certain forms of profiling; and
- The right not to be discriminated against for exercising applicable privacy rights.
PPA does not sell customer personal information.
Certain businesses and information are exempt from the Texas Data Privacy and Security Act, and the availability of particular rights depends on whether the Act applies to the individual, the information, and the processing activity.
How to Submit a Privacy Request
A customer or other individual may submit a privacy-related request by email:
To protect privacy and prevent unauthorized disclosure, PPA may require reasonable information to verify the identity and authority of the person submitting a request.
PPA will respond to verified requests within the time periods required by applicable law. Under the TDPSA, covered businesses generally must respond without undue delay and no later than 45 days after receiving an authenticated request, subject to applicable extensions and exceptions.
10. Appeals
If PPA is subject to the Texas Data Privacy and Security Act and denies a verified privacy request, an individual may have the right to appeal the decision.
Appeals may be submitted using the same contact information provided above.
PPA will review the appeal and respond within the time period required by applicable law.
11. Children’s Privacy
PPA’s website and business services are intended for businesses and adults.
PPA does not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 years of age through its website for purposes unrelated to legitimate business operations.
If PPA becomes aware that personal information from a child under 13 has been collected improperly, PPA may take reasonable steps to delete the information.
12. Regulatory and VOC Compliance
PPA operates in the coatings and warehouse distribution industry and may handle, distribute, or sell products subject to federal, state, and local environmental requirements.
PPA is committed to complying with applicable environmental and product regulations, including applicable federal requirements concerning volatile organic compounds (“VOC”) and applicable state and local requirements.
Where applicable to products distributed or sold by PPA, the company will maintain reasonable procedures intended to support compliance with applicable VOC requirements, product labeling requirements, documentation requirements, and other applicable environmental regulations.
Federal EPA regulations establish national VOC emission standards for certain architectural coatings under 40 CFR Part 59, including requirements concerning VOC content for regulated products. Applicability depends on the product, category, manufacturer/importer status, and other regulatory factors.
This Privacy Policy does not replace or modify any applicable environmental regulation, product specification, Safety Data Sheet (SDS), product label, technical data sheet, or other regulatory requirement.
13. Data Breach
PPA maintains reasonable security procedures designed to protect personal information.
If PPA experiences a security breach involving personal information, PPA will investigate the incident and provide notices to affected individuals and governmental authorities when required by applicable law.
Texas law requires businesses experiencing a qualifying data breach affecting 250 or more Texas residents to notify the Texas Attorney General as soon as practicable and no later than 30 days after discovery of the breach, subject to applicable requirements.
14. Third-Party Websites
Our website may contain links to third-party websites or services.
PPA is not responsible for the privacy practices, security, content, or policies of third-party websites. We encourage users to review the privacy policies of any third-party website they visit.
15. Changes to This Privacy Policy
PPA may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our business practices, technology, applicable laws, or regulatory requirements.
