Information Submitted Directly
A name, phone number, or address entered into a search form is submitted to the third-party provider that operates the results flow. Our servers do not keep a separate copy of those searches. A message sent to us contains the information supplied in that message and is used to respond.
Automatic Technical Data
Hosting services create standard logs such as an IP address, browser type, viewed pages, and timestamps. We review that information in aggregate for security, site operation, and broad readership patterns. Cookies or similar tools may also support basic analytics and, where applicable, advertising measurement.
How Information Is Used
Limited data helps operate the reference, diagnose problems, measure aggregate traffic, and improve pages. We do not sell visitor lists or create individual visitor profiles.
External Websites
Links may lead to county and state portals, archives, library collections, and third-party search services. Their own policies control information submitted after leaving this reference. That includes sponsored search results supplied by another company.
Service Providers and Disclosure
Hosting and support providers process the server logs needed for this reference. Analytics and advertising partners may receive the automatic technical information described above. We disclose information when valid legal process requires it and otherwise only as described here.
Security and Retention
The reference uses an encrypted connection, and logs are retained only for the operational purposes described above. Because there are no user accounts, the reference does not maintain a visitor password or account profile.
Visitors Under 18
This reference is intended for adults and is not directed to children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from a person under 18. Contact us if a minor has sent information, and we will remove it.
Your Privacy Choices
Depending on the law that applies, visitors may have rights to seek access, correction, deletion, or an opt-out for personal data held by a covered business. The Texas Data Privacy and Security Act is the relevant Texas consumer-privacy statute for covered businesses. Because this reference retains little data, a request normally involves the contact mailbox and available server logs. Use the Contact page to make a request. Texas state, county, and city public records remain under the control of their own custodians.
Policy Changes
Any revision will appear on this page. Continued use after a posted revision indicates acceptance of the updated policy.
