Information You Provide
Names, phone numbers, and addresses entered into a search form are sent to the provider that delivers the resulting service. Our servers do not retain a copy of those searches. If you contact us, we receive the information in your message and use it to respond.
Automatically Collected Details
Like most hosted services, the host may create routine logs containing an IP address, browser type, visited pages, and timestamps. We review aggregate patterns to maintain the service and understand page use. Cookies or similar tools can support basic analytics and, where applicable, advertising measurement.
How Limited Data Is Used
We use this limited information to operate the service, address technical problems, measure traffic, and improve the reference material. We do not sell visitor lists or create individual visitor profiles.
External Websites and Portals
Brazoria County, Texas, library, archive, and search-provider links lead to services with their own privacy practices. Their policies control any information submitted after leaving this service. The same is true of sponsored search results supplied by an outside provider.
Service Providers and Disclosure
Hosting and support providers process ordinary service logs for us. Analytics or advertising partners may receive the automatic data described above. Information is disclosed only when a valid legal process requires it or as otherwise stated here.
Safeguards for Data
The service uses an encrypted connection, and logs are retained only for the operational purposes described above. There are no visitor accounts, passwords, or account profiles maintained here.
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 you believe a minor has provided information, and we will remove it.
Your Privacy Choices
Depending on your location, you may have rights to request access, correction, or deletion of personal data a service keeps. Research for this project did not identify a general Texas universal deletion or data-broker opt-out statute applicable to this reference. Because we retain very little, a request normally concerns a contact message or service log. Use the Contact page to ask. Public records held by Texas, Brazoria County, or city custodians are outside our control; requests about those records belong with the custodian under the applicable procedure, including the Texas Public Information Act, Tex. Gov't Code ch. 552.
Changes to This Policy
We will post updates to this policy here. Continued use after an update indicates acceptance of the revised policy.
