Privacy
Policy.
How we handle your information, in plain language, because you should not need a lawyer to read a privacy policy.
What we collect,
and why.
Last updated 7 August 2026
Mata Hari House is an event venue at 154 Leslie Street, Dallas, Texas. This policy covers mataharihouse.com and the inquiries we receive through it. We collect the minimum we need to answer you and host your event, and we do not sell your information to anyone.
Information you give us
- Inquiry and tour requests. Your name, email address, phone number, event type, guest count, and preferred dates.
- Booking and event details. If you book, the details needed to run your event, including billing information, vendor contacts, floor plan preferences, and timelines.
- Correspondence. Emails, texts, and call notes exchanged while planning.
- Guest list sign-ups. Your email address, if you subscribe to venue updates.
Information collected automatically
- Usage data. Pages viewed, time on page, referring site, approximate location, browser and device type.
- Cookies and similar technologies. Described in the next section.
How we use it
- To answer inquiries, schedule tours, and prepare proposals.
- To plan, staff, and run your event, and to coordinate with the vendors you choose.
- To process payments and issue invoices.
- To send venue updates, but only if you asked for them. Every email has an unsubscribe link.
- To understand how the site is used so we can improve it.
Who we share it with
We share information only where it is needed to do the job, and only with:
- Service providers who operate parts of our business, including our booking and invoicing platform, email provider, form provider, and website analytics.
- Vendors on your event, and only the details relevant to their part of it, such as guest count, timing, and access.
- Authorities, where the law requires it.
We do not sell your personal information, and we do not share it for cross-context behavioural advertising.
How long we keep it
Inquiries that do not become bookings are kept for up to two years, in case you come back to us. Booking and financial records are kept for seven years to meet tax and accounting obligations. Guest list subscriptions are kept until you unsubscribe.
Security
We use reputable providers, limit access to the people who need it, and keep payment processing with established platforms so that full card details never sit on our systems. No method of transmission is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Children
The site is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect their information. Minors are of course welcome at events, subject to our security requirements.
The small print
on cookies.
A cookie is a small file your browser stores. We use them sparingly.
- Essential. Needed for the site to work, such as remembering form progress. These cannot be switched off.
- Analytics. Help us see which pages are useful and where people get stuck. Aggregated, not used to identify you personally.
- Marketing. Used only if we run an advertising campaign, to measure whether it worked.
You can clear or block cookies in your browser settings. Blocking essential cookies may stop parts of the site working, most noticeably the inquiry form.
Your information,
your call.
Texas residents have rights under the Texas Data Privacy and Security Act, and we extend the same courtesy to everyone who contacts us. You may ask us to:
- Confirm and access the personal information we hold about you.
- Correct anything inaccurate.
- Delete your information, subject to records we must keep by law.
- Obtain a copy in a portable format.
- Opt out of marketing email, or of any sale or targeted advertising. We do not do the former, and will honour the latter regardless.
To make a request, email privacy@mataharihouse.com with the subject line Privacy Request. We will respond within 45 days. If we decline, you may appeal by replying to our response.
