Privacy Policy

Last updated: November 10, 2026

The National Black MBA Association® Austin Chapter ("NBMBAA Austin," "we," "us"), a 501(c)(3) nonprofit operating as Central Texas Leaders of Tomorrow, respects your privacy. This policy explains what information we collect through austinblackmba.org, how we use it, and the choices you have.

Information we collect

We collect information you choose to give us, such as your name, email address, phone number, and the details you include when you subscribe to our newsletter, contact us, volunteer, apply for membership, ask about partnering with us, or register for an event. We may also receive limited technical information when you visit the site, such as your IP address, browser type, device, pages viewed, and referring page, collected through cookies and similar technologies.

How we use your information

  • To respond to your questions and requests.
  • To send newsletters, event invitations, and chapter updates you have asked to receive.
  • To manage memberships, volunteer activity, partnerships, and event registrations.
  • To send text messages if you have agreed to receive them (see "Text messages" below).
  • To keep the site secure, understand how it is used, and improve it.
  • To meet legal, accounting, and nonprofit compliance obligations.

Text messages

If you check a consent box on one of our forms and provide your mobile number, you agree to receive text messages from NBMBAA Austin of the type described next to that box, such as appointment reminders and account notifications, or marketing and promotional messages. Message frequency may vary. Message and data rates may apply. You can reply HELP for help or STOP to opt out at any time. Consent to receive text messages is not a condition of any purchase, membership, or donation. We do not sell, rent, or share your mobile phone number or text messaging opt-in information with third parties or affiliates for their marketing or promotional purposes.

Service providers we use

We use trusted service providers to run our programs and website, and they process information on our behalf. These include our customer relationship management and email and text messaging platform (GoHighLevel), our website host and website tools, Zeffy for donations, and Eventbrite for some event registrations. Donations are processed by Zeffy and we do not receive or store your payment card details. These providers have their own privacy practices, and we encourage you to review them.

Who we share information with

We do not sell your personal information. We share it only with the service providers described above, with chapter leaders and volunteers who need it to carry out chapter activities, with the National Black MBA Association when required for membership or chapter administration, or when the law requires it. If you register for an event with a sponsor or partner, we will tell you before sharing your details with them.

Cookies and embedded content

Our site uses cookies and similar technologies to work properly, remember preferences, and understand site use. Embedded content from other websites, such as forms, videos, maps, or social media links, may set their own cookies and collect data about you, as if you had visited those sites directly. You can control cookies through your browser settings.

How long we keep information

We keep information for as long as needed for the purposes above and to meet legal and record-keeping requirements, then delete or anonymize it.

Your choices and rights

You can unsubscribe from emails using the link in any message, and opt out of text messages by replying STOP. You may ask us to access, correct, or delete the personal information we hold about you by contacting us at the address below. We will respond as required by applicable law.

Children

Our site is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. Our youth programs are run with the involvement of schools, parents, or guardians.

Security

We take reasonable steps to protect your information, but no website or online service can be completely secure.

We may update this policy from time to time. The "Last updated" date above shows when it last changed. See also our Terms of Use.
