Texas County Map

Privacy Policy

Effective date: October 3, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how Texas County Map ("we", "us", "our"), operated by Colton Boudreau in Austin, Texas, collects, uses and protects information when you visit https://texascountymap.net (the "Site"). By using the Site you agree to the practices described here.

1. Information we collect

Information you give us. If you use our contact form or email us, we receive your name, email address and the content of your message. We use this only to respond to you and keep a record of corrections.

Information collected automatically. Like most websites, our servers and service providers automatically receive technical information such as your IP address, browser type, device type, referring page, pages viewed and the date and time of your visit. You do not need an account to use the Site, and we do not ask for sensitive personal information.

2. Cookies and similar technologies

Cookies are small text files stored on your device. We and our partners use cookies, web beacons and similar technologies to keep the Site working, measure traffic and serve advertising. You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings; blocking some cookies may affect how the Site works.

3. Advertising and Google AdSense

We use Google AdSense to display advertisements on the Site. In connection with this:

  • Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user's prior visits to this Site and other websites.
  • Google's use of advertising cookies, including the DoubleClick (DART) cookie, enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to this Site and/or other sites on the Internet.
  • You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings. Alternatively, you can opt out of some third-party vendors' use of cookies for personalized advertising by visiting www.aboutads.info or, in the EU/UK, youronlinechoices.eu.
  • Other third-party vendors or ad networks may also use cookies to serve ads on the Site. You can learn more about how Google uses information from sites that use its services at policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.

If you opt out, you will still see ads, but they will not be personalized based on your browsing.

4. Analytics

We use aggregated analytics to understand which pages are useful and how visitors find us. These tools may use cookies and collect information such as pages visited and approximate location derived from IP address. We use this information only in aggregate and do not use it to identify you personally.

5. Maps and other third-party services

Some maps load background tiles from third-party providers (such as Esri and Google Maps). When those tiles load, your browser connects directly to the provider, which may receive your IP address and browser information under its own privacy policy.

6. How we use information

  • To operate, maintain and improve the Site;
  • To respond to messages and apply corrections;
  • To display advertising that funds the Site;
  • To detect and prevent abuse, fraud and security problems;
  • To comply with legal obligations.

We do not sell your personal information for money. We do not share contact form messages with advertisers.

7. Consent for visitors in the EEA, UK and Switzerland (GDPR)

Where required by law, visitors in the European Economic Area, United Kingdom and Switzerland are asked for consent before personalized advertising cookies are used, through a Google-certified consent message. Our legal bases for processing are your consent (advertising cookies), our legitimate interests (operating and securing the Site, analytics), and responding to your requests. You have the right to access, correct, delete, restrict or object to processing of your personal data, to data portability, and to withdraw consent at any time. You may also complain to your local data protection authority.

8. Your California privacy rights (CCPA/CPRA) and other U.S. states

California residents and residents of other states with similar laws (including Texas, Virginia, Colorado and Connecticut) have the right to know what personal information we collect, to request deletion or correction, and to opt out of the "sale" or "sharing" of personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising. The use of advertising cookies may be considered "sharing" under these laws. To opt out, use Google Ads Settings or aboutads.info as described above, enable Global Privacy Control in your browser, or email us. We will not discriminate against you for exercising these rights.

9. Data retention and security

Contact messages are kept only as long as needed to respond and to maintain a record of corrections, and normally no longer than 24 months. We use reasonable technical measures, including encrypted connections (HTTPS), to protect information, but no method of transmission over the Internet is completely secure.

10. Children's privacy

The Site is a general-audience educational resource and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has sent us personal information, contact us and we will delete it.

11. Links to other websites

The Site links to government and third-party websites. We are not responsible for their privacy practices and encourage you to read their policies.

12. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. Changes take effect when posted on this page with a new effective date.
