Information You Submit
A name, telephone number, or address entered into a search box is sent to the third-party results provider. Our servers do not retain a copy of those searches. If you contact us, we receive the contents of your message and use them to respond.
Automatically Collected Data
Routine hosting logs may record an IP address, browser type, pages requested, and time of visit. We review this in aggregate to maintain the service and understand general use. Cookies or comparable technology can support basic analytics and, where present, advertising measurement.
How We Use Information
Information supports operation, troubleshooting, traffic measurement, and improvement of the reference pages. We do not sell visitor lists or create individual visitor profiles.
External Services and Links
Links may lead to Galveston County and Texas portals, library collections, archives, or third-party search tools. The policy of the destination service controls information submitted there. This includes sponsored result services supplied by another company.
Who Can Process Data
Hosting and support providers may process server logs for us. Analytics or advertising partners can receive the automatic information described above. We disclose information only when required by valid legal process.
Security and Retention
The service uses an encrypted connection, and logs are retained only for the purposes described here. There are no user accounts, passwords, or user profiles stored by this service.
Visitors Under 18
This reference is intended for adults and is not directed to children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. Contact us if a minor has sent information, and we will remove it.
Your Privacy Choices
You may ask to access, correct, or remove personal information that this service keeps about you. Texas Business & Commerce Code Chapter 510 governs data-broker registration and related obligations, while this reference minimizes retained visitor data. Requests usually involve the contact mailbox or server logs. Use the Contact page. Galveston city, Galveston County, and Texas public records are controlled by their custodians, so a request about an official record must go to that office.
Changes to This Policy
Updates to this policy will appear here. Continued use after a posted change means acceptance of the revised policy.
