Information You Submit
A name, phone number, or address entered in a search form is sent to the outside provider that delivers its results. Our servers do not retain those search entries. When you contact us, we receive the contents of your message and use them to respond.
Routine Technical Information
Like most hosted services, the site generates ordinary server logs, such as IP address, browser type, pages viewed, and times of access. We review aggregate information to maintain the service and understand use of its pages. Cookies or comparable tools may support basic analytics and, where applicable, advertising measurement.
How Information Is Used
The limited information described here is used to operate the reference, address technical issues, measure aggregate visits, and improve content. We do not sell visitor lists or build individual visitor profiles.
External Services
Links lead to county and state portals, library collections, archives, and third-party tools. The privacy practices of those services govern information submitted there, including information submitted through sponsored results.
Who Might See Your Data
The service providers that host and support the site process server logs for us. Analytics and advertising partners may receive the automatic data described above. We disclose data when a valid legal process requires it, and not otherwise.
How We Protect Your Data
The site runs over an encrypted connection and logs are kept only as long as the purposes above need them. There are no accounts here, so no password or profile of yours exists on this site to be exposed.
Users Under 18
The site is meant for adults and is not directed at children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18; if you believe a minor has sent us information, contact us and we will delete it.
Your Privacy Choices
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to ask about access, correction, or deletion of personal data held by a website. The Texas Data Privacy and Security Act may apply to covered businesses, subject to its exemptions. Because this reference keeps very little, a request usually concerns the contact mailbox or server logs. Use the Contact page to make that request. Records held by Texas, Fort Bend County, or Missouri City agencies remain under the control of their respective custodians.
Updates to This Policy
Changes will appear here when posted. Continuing to use the reference after a revision means you accept the updated policy.
