Privacy Policy

This policy describes the limited information DeSoto Residents Directory receives, how it is handled, and the choices available to visitors. The service is a private reference to DeSoto and Texas record sources. It requires no account and does not host government records or a personal resident database.

Information You Submit

A name, phone number, or address entered in a search form is sent to the third-party provider that delivers the result service. Our servers do not retain a separate copy of those searches. When you contact us, we receive the contents of your message and use them only to respond or address the issue raised.


Automatically Collected Details

Like most hosted sites, the service may generate ordinary logs such as IP address, browser type, pages viewed, and timestamps. We use aggregated information to maintain the service and understand which reference pages are useful. Cookies or comparable technology can support basic analytics and, where applicable, advertising measurement.


What We Do With This Data

We use that limited information to run the service, resolve technical problems, measure traffic, and improve its reference material. We do not sell visitor lists or create individual visitor profiles.


Links to Other Websites

Links may lead to Dallas County and Texas records portals, library collections, archives, or third-party search tools. Their own privacy notices govern information submitted there. That includes sponsored results supplied by a separate provider.


Who Might See Your Data

The service providers that host and support the site process server logs for us. Analytics and advertising partners may receive the automatic data described above. We disclose data when a valid legal process requires it, and not otherwise.


How We Protect Your Data

The service uses an encrypted connection, and logs are retained only for as long as the purposes described here require. There are no accounts, passwords, or visitor profiles maintained by this site.


Users Under 18

The site is meant for adults and is not directed at children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18; if you believe a minor has sent us information, contact us and we will delete it.


Your Data Rights

Texas residents may have rights under the Texas Data Privacy and Security Act, Business and Commerce Code chapter 541, including rights to know, access, correct, delete, and opt out in the circumstances the statute covers. Because this service retains little visitor data, a request usually concerns a contact message or limited log data. Use the Contact page to submit a request. DeSoto, Dallas County, and Texas public records are held by their custodians, so requests about those records must go to the responsible office.


Updates to This Policy

Updates will appear on this page. Continued use after a posted change indicates acceptance of the revised policy.
