Privacy Policy

This policy explains the limited information handled by Hidalgo County Residents Directory and the choices available to visitors. The reference needs no user account and does not host government records. It links to records and directory collections for Hidalgo County, Texas.

Information You Submit

A name, telephone number, or address entered in a search form is sent to the provider that supplies those results. Our servers do not retain a separate copy of the search terms. A message sent to us contains the information in that message and is used to respond.


Automatic Technical Data

Hosting services may create routine logs, including an IP address, browser type, pages viewed, and timestamps. Aggregate review helps maintain the service and understand use of its pages. Cookies or similar tools may support basic analytics or advertising measurement where used.


How Technical Data Is Used

That information supports operation, troubleshooting, traffic measurement, and page improvements. We do not sell visitor lists or build individual visitor profiles.


Links to Other Websites

Links can lead to county and state portals, libraries, archives, and third-party search services. Their policies govern information submitted after leaving this reference, including information submitted through sponsored result tools.


Service Providers and Disclosure

Hosting and support providers process routine logs for the service. Analytics or advertising partners may receive the automatic data described above. Information is disclosed when valid legal process requires disclosure, and otherwise only as described here.


How We Protect Your Data

The reference uses an encrypted connection and retains logs only for the operational purposes described above. It has no visitor accounts, passwords, or user profiles for this service to expose.


Users Under 18

This reference is intended for adults and is not directed to children. We do not knowingly collect a minor's personal information. Contact us if you believe a minor sent information so it can be removed.


Your Privacy Choices

The Texas Data Privacy and Security Act, effective July 1, 2024, provides qualifying Texans rights concerning certain covered personal data, subject to statutory exemptions. A request can be sent through the Contact page; we will review the contact information and logs held for this service. The Texas Public Information Act, Government Code Chapter 552, separately controls public-record requests. Government records held by Texas, Hidalgo County, or city custodians are outside our control, so a request about one belongs with that custodian.


Policy Changes

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