Information You Provide
We may receive information you submit through a search form or a message, such as a name, phone number, address, email address, or the contents of your inquiry. Do not send Social Security numbers, government-ID numbers, financial data, protected addresses, or other sensitive personal information to us.
Automatic Technical Data
Like most web services, the site and its service providers may collect limited technical information, including browser type, device information, IP address, referring page, pages viewed, and approximate timing. This data helps operate, secure, and improve the service.
How We Use Information
Information is used to operate search features, respond to messages, maintain security, measure performance, and improve the reference. We do not use submitted information to create, update, or correct Harris County, Texas, court, library, or other public records.
Outside Services and Links
The reference links to independent government portals, libraries, archives, and search providers. Their collection, use, pricing, cookies, availability, and privacy practices are governed by their own notices. Review the policy of a linked service before entering information there.
Sharing of Information
We may disclose information to vendors that help operate the service, when needed to comply with law or protect rights and security, or in connection with a business transfer. We do not sell personal information in a way that overrides rights provided by applicable law.
Security Measures
We use reasonable administrative and technical safeguards, but no internet transmission or storage system is completely secure. Avoid submitting information that is sensitive, restricted, or unnecessary for the purpose of your request.
People Under 18
The site is not designed to collect personal information from children under 18. If you believe a child has supplied personal information, contact us so the matter can be reviewed.
Your Privacy Rights
Texas residents may have privacy rights under the Texas Data Privacy and Security Act, Business & Commerce Code chapter 541, when its terms apply to a covered business. Requests concerning county-held records, protected voter information, or vital records must go to the actual custodian under its governing law. Texas Address Confidentiality Program and voter-confidentiality protections are not waived by use of this reference.
Changes to This Policy
We may revise this policy by posting an updated version here. Continued use after a revision means that you accept the updated policy to the extent allowed by law.
