Information You Provide
A name, phone number, or address entered in a search form is sent to the third-party service that provides those results. Our own servers do not retain a copy of those search terms. If you contact us, we receive the details included in that message and use them to respond.
Automatic Technical Data
Hosting services may create routine logs, such as an IP address, browser type, pages requested, and timestamps. We review aggregate patterns to maintain the service and understand which reference pages are used. Cookies and similar tools can support basic analytics and, when relevant, advertising measurement.
How Limited Data Is Used
That information supports operation, troubleshooting, traffic measurement, and improvements to the reference material. We do not sell visitor lists or create individual visitor profiles.
External Services and Links
Links can lead to Ellis County, Texas, library, archive, and third-party search resources. The privacy terms of the destination govern information sent there, including information entered into sponsored search results supplied by another company.
Service Providers and Disclosures
Companies that host or support the service may process the described technical logs. Analytics and advertising providers can receive the automatic data described above. We disclose information only when valid legal process requires disclosure.
Safeguards and Retention
The service uses an encrypted connection, and logs are retained only for the operational purposes stated here. Because the site has no visitor accounts, it does not hold a visitor password or account profile.
Visitors Under 18
The service is intended for adults rather than children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from a person under 18. If a minor has sent us information, contact us so it can be deleted.
Texas Privacy Rights
Texas Business & Commerce Code chapter 541, the Texas Data Privacy and Security Act, describes access, correction, deletion, portability, and certain opt-out rights for covered businesses. Because this service keeps little visitor information, a request generally concerns the contact mailbox or server logs. Send a request through the Contact page. Government records held by Texas, Ellis County, or Midlothian custodians are outside our control, and questions about their removal belong with the relevant office.
Policy Changes
Changes will appear here when they take effect. Continued use after publication means the revised policy applies.
