Privacy Policy

This policy describes data handled by Port Arthur Residents Directory. The site is a private reference to public sources in Port Arthur, Texas, and does not require an account or maintain a resident-record database.

Information You Send

A name, phone number, or address entered in a search box is sent to the outside provider that serves results. Our servers do not retain a copy of those searches. If you contact us, we receive the details you include and use them to respond.


Automatically Collected Data

Routine hosting logs may include an IP address, browser type, page requests, and time information. We use aggregate log information for security, operation, and basic traffic measurement. Cookies or comparable tools may support analytics or advertising measurement where used.


How Data Is Used

Data supports operation, troubleshooting, traffic measurement, and improvement of the reference. We do not sell visitor lists or build individual visitor profiles from site use.


External Services and Links

Official record portals, library collections, archives, and sponsored result providers have their own terms and privacy practices. Their policies apply to information submitted on their screens, including a search-provider result form.


Who Can Process Data

Hosting and support providers may process the routine logs needed to operate the site. Analytics or advertising partners may receive the automatic data described above. We disclose information when required by valid legal process.


Safeguards and Retention

The site uses an encrypted connection. Logs are kept only for the operational purposes described here. Because there are no user accounts, the site does not hold a visitor password or account profile.


Visitors Under 18

This service 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 has sent information so that it can be addressed.


Your Privacy Choices

The Texas Data Privacy and Security Act, effective July 1, 2024, describes rights for Texas residents over covered business-held personal data, including access, correction, deletion, portability, and certain opt-out rights, subject to its terms and exceptions. It does not erase public records maintained by government offices. Because this reference keeps very little personal data, a request generally concerns contact correspondence or routine logs. Use the Contact page. Requests about a deed, court file, voter record, or other public record belong with its custodian.


Policy Updates

Changes to this policy will appear here. Continued use after a posted revision indicates acceptance of the revised policy.
