Information You Submit
A name, phone number, or address entered into a search form is sent to the outside provider that supplies that result service. Our servers do not retain a copy of those search entries. A message sent to us contains the information included in that message and is used to respond.
Technical Data Collected Automatically
Hosting systems create standard logs, including an IP address, browser type, pages requested, and time of request. We use aggregate patterns to maintain the service and understand use of its pages. Cookies or comparable tools may support basic measurement and, when applicable, advertising measurement.
How We Use Limited Data
That limited information helps operate the reference, diagnose faults, measure traffic, and improve content. We do not sell lists of visitors or create individual visitor profiles.
Links to Other Websites
Links may lead to county or state record portals, library collections, archives, and outside search services. Information given to those destinations is governed by their policies, not this policy. That includes sponsored search results supplied by a third party.
Parties That May Process Data
Providers that host or support the reference process the necessary server logs. Analytics or advertising partners may receive the automatic data described above. Disclosure occurs when valid legal process requires it and not otherwise.
How We Protect Your Data
The reference uses an encrypted connection, and logs are retained only for the purposes described here. There are no user accounts, passwords, or resident profiles maintained by this site.
Visitors Under 18
This reference is intended for adults and is not directed to children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from a visitor under 18. Contact us if you believe a minor sent personal information, and we will remove it.
Your Privacy Choices
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to request access, correction, or deletion of personal data a website holds. Because we retain very little, we can check the contact mailbox and server logs and remove information found there. Use the Contact page for that request. Records held by Texas state, county, or city custodians are outside our control, so requests about those records must go to the custodian.
Updates to This Policy
Changes will appear here. Continued use after a posted revision signifies acceptance of the revised policy.
