What We Collect

Texas Property Tax Guide collects minimal data to operate this website:

• Analytics: We use Plausible Analytics, a privacy-first analytics tool that does not use cookies, does not track users across sites, and does not collect personal information. Aggregate page view statistics help us understand which content is most useful.
• Address search: When you use the address search feature, your input is sent to the Google Places API (via our proxy) and the U.S. Census Geocoder to identify your Texas county. We do not store your search queries.
• Server logs: Standard server logs (IP addresses, user agents, request timestamps) are retained by Cloudflare Pages for up to 30 days for security and debugging purposes.

What We Do Not Collect

• We do not require account registration or login.
• We do not use advertising cookies or tracking pixels.
• We do not collect, store, or sell personal information.
• We do not use behavioral advertising or retargeting.

Third-Party Services

This site uses the following third-party services, each with their own privacy policies:

• Google Places API — used for address autocomplete. Requests are proxied through our server; your IP is not forwarded. See Google Privacy Policy.
• U.S. Census Geocoder — a free federal government API used to identify your Texas county from an address. See Census Privacy Policy.
• Plausible Analytics — privacy-first, GDPR-compliant analytics. No cookies. See Plausible Privacy Policy.

Cookies

This site does not set first-party cookies. Cloudflare may set a security cookie (__cf_bm) for bot detection purposes. No advertising or tracking cookies are used.

Your Rights

Because we do not collect personal information, there is generally no personal data to access, correct, or delete. For questions about data held by Cloudflare or Google, consult their respective privacy policies.
