Privacy Policy
This explains what happens to your information when you visit rioautoelectric.com. We have tried to write it in plain English rather than the usual wall of legal text.
Last updated September 19, 2026
The short version
- This website has no forms, no logins and no online payments, so there is nothing for you to fill in and nothing for us to store.
- We use Google Analytics to count visits and see which pages get read. That uses cookies.
- The maps on our contact and service area pages are loaded from Google.
- We do not sell your information. We have nothing to sell.
- If you would rather not be counted, there is a way to opt out further down.
Who we are
Rio Auto Electric, LLC, 400 W Main St, Rio Grande City, TX 78582. You can reach us at (956) 487-2143 or rioautoelectric@gmail.com.
What we do not collect
There are no contact forms, quote forms, newsletter signups, customer accounts or online payments anywhere on this website. We never ask you to type anything in, so we hold no names, email addresses, phone numbers or payment details from anyone who visits.
If you call us or email us, we obviously then have whatever you chose to tell us. We use that to help with your vehicle and nothing else.
What is collected automatically
Three services run in the background of this site. Each one is listed below with what it does and why it is there.
Google Analytics
We use Google Analytics (GA4) to understand whether the website is doing its job. It tells us things like how many people visited, which pages they read, roughly what part of the country they were in, what kind of device they used, how they found us, and whether anyone tapped the phone number. It sets cookies in your browser to do this.
We see this as totals and trends, not as individuals. We cannot use it to work out who you are, and we do not try to.
Google Maps
The contact page and the service area pages embed a map from Google so you can see where the shop is. When that map loads, Google may set cookies and receive information about your visit, in the same way it would if you had opened Google Maps yourself. That part is governed by Google's own privacy policy, not ours.
Cloudflare
The website is hosted and protected by Cloudflare. Like any web host, their servers keep short-term logs that include IP addresses, in order to serve pages and block malicious traffic. We do not use these logs for marketing.
Cookies
Cookies are small files a website stores in your browser. The only cookies this site is responsible for are the Google Analytics ones described above, used to tell a returning visit from a new one. Google Maps may set its own when a map loads.
We do not use advertising cookies, and we do not track you across other websites.
How to opt out
You have a few options, and none of them stop the website working.
- Install the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on, which blocks Analytics on every site you visit, not just ours.
- Block or clear cookies in your browser settings.
- Turn on your browser's tracking protection or use a private browsing window.
Do we share or sell anything
We do not sell, rent or trade information about visitors to this website. The only companies that receive anything are Google and Cloudflare, as described above, and only because they provide the analytics, maps and hosting that make the site work.
Children
This is a website about automotive repair. It is not aimed at children and we do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 13.
Your choices and questions
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to ask what information is held about you, or to ask for it to be deleted. Since this site collects nothing that identifies you, there is usually nothing to hand over or delete. If you would like to ask anyway, call (956) 487-2143 or email rioautoelectric@gmail.com and we will do our best to help. Se habla español.
Changes to this policy
If we add anything to the website that changes what is collected, a contact form for example, we will update this page and change the date at the top.
