Information You Submit
A name, phone number, or address entered in a search form is sent to the third-party provider that supplies results. Our servers do not retain a copy of those searches. If you contact us, we use the contents of the message only to respond.
Automatic Technical Data
Our host may log an IP address, browser type, pages requested, and timestamps. We review this information in aggregate for operations and readership patterns. Cookies or comparable tools may support basic analytics and advertising measurement where used.
How Limited Data Is Used
We use limited technical information to operate the service, resolve issues, measure aggregate traffic, and improve pages. We do not sell visitor lists or create individual visitor profiles.
External Services and Links
Dallas County, Texas, library, archive, and third-party search links lead to services with their own privacy practices. Their policies govern information submitted on those services, including sponsored-result tools supplied by another company.
Who Might See Your Data
Hosting and support providers process server-log information for us. Analytics or advertising partners may receive the automatic data described above. We disclose information only when valid legal process requires disclosure.
How We Protect Your Data
The service uses an encrypted connection, and logs are retained only for the operational needs described here. No visitor account, password, or profile is created by this service.
Users Under 18
This service is intended for adults and does 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
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, or delete personal data a service holds. The Texas Data Privacy and Security Act, House Bill 4, took effect July 1, 2024 and provides covered consumers with access, correction, deletion, and certain opt-out rights. Because Dallas Residents Directory keeps very little, a request usually involves the contact mailbox and relevant server logs. Send a request through the Contact page. Texas Public Information Act records held by a city, county, or state custodian are outside our control, and requests about those records belong with that office.
Updates to This Policy
We will post revisions to this policy here. Continued use after a posted revision indicates acceptance of the updated policy.
