Information You Provide
A name, phone number, or address entered in a search form is sent to the outside provider that delivers results. Dallas Residents Directory does not retain a copy of those search terms on its own servers. A contact message is used only to address the message you send.
Automatic Technical Data
Hosting systems may create standard logs containing an IP address, browser type, pages viewed, and timestamps. Those records are reviewed in aggregate for reliability and readership patterns. Cookies or comparable tools may support basic analytics and, where applicable, advertising measurement.
What We Do With This Data
That limited data helps operate the service, address errors, measure traffic, and improve reference pages. We do not sell visitor lists or create individual visitor profiles.
Links to Other Websites
Links may lead to Dallas County or Texas portals, library collections, archives, and external search tools. Information submitted to those destinations is governed by their policies, including the provider of sponsored results.
Who Might See Your Data
Hosting and support providers process server logs for the service. Analytics and advertising partners may receive the technical data described above. Disclosure occurs only when valid legal process requires it.
How We Protect Your Data
The service uses an encrypted connection, and logs are retained only for the purposes described here. There are no visitor accounts, passwords, or user profiles maintained by Dallas Residents Directory.
Users 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 you believe a minor has submitted information, and we will remove it.
Your Data Rights
Texas residents may have access, correction, deletion, and opt-out rights under the Texas Data Privacy and Security Act, effective July 1, 2024. Because we retain very little, a request normally concerns the contact mailbox or technical logs. Use the Contact page to make a request. Dallas County, City of Dallas, and Texas government records are outside our control; questions about correction, suppression, or removal belong with the actual custodian.
