Privacy policy

This privacy policy explains what information DFW Car Accidents collects on dfwcaraccidents.com, how we use it, and the choices you have. We try to collect as little as we can.

The short version #

• We collect only what you send us through our contact form or email, plus basic technical information that websites use to run, including simple visit counts.
• We don't use third-party analytics, and we don't use cookies for analytics or advertising.
• We never ask for details about your crash, your injuries or your health.
• We do not sell your personal information.
• We do not share your information with lawyers, doctors, clinics, tow companies, repair shops or insurance companies.
• We will never call or text you. We only reply by email to messages you send us.

Information you give us #

When you use our contact form or email us, we collect:

• your name
• your email address
• what you write in your message

When you use the "Was this page helpful?" buttons on a guide, we collect your answer (yes or no) and the address of the page. The site keeps your IP address and browser user agent with it, to stop spam. Your answer stays with this site.

Please don't send sensitive information. That includes details about your crash, anything about injuries, health or medical care, driver's license numbers, insurance numbers, and financial information. Information about a health diagnosis is "sensitive data" under Texas privacy law. We don't ask for it and don't want it. If you send it anyway, we will not use it for anything except replying to you, and we will delete it after we reply.

Information collected automatically #

Like most websites, our site and hosting services collect basic technical information when you visit, such as:

• your IP address
• your browser and device type
• the pages you visit and when
• the page that sent you to our site

To see which guides are most helpful, we use only the visit counts built into our website platform. They come from the basic technical information above. We don't use any third-party analytics service, and we don't use analytics cookies. We do not use visit counts to identify you.

How we use information #

We use information to:

• read and reply to your messages
• run, fix and protect the website
• understand which guides are helpful, so we can improve them
• follow the law

What we don't do #

• We don't sell personal information, including sensitive data.
• We don't use your information for targeted advertising.
• We don't use your information for profiling that leads to legal or similarly important decisions about you.
• We don't use crash reports, and we never reach out to people who were in a crash. We only reply to people who write to us first.

Who we share information with #

We share information only:

• With service providers that help us run the site, such as web hosting, email delivery and security. They may use the information only to provide their services to us.
• When the law requires it, such as a valid subpoena or court order, or to protect the safety of a person or the security of the site.
• If the site changes owners. A new owner would have to follow this policy for information collected under it.

How long we keep information #

We keep contact messages, and our replies, for 12 months. Then we delete them, including copies in our email. If a message includes sensitive information, we delete it sooner, after we reply. Technical logs are kept for a limited time and then deleted.

Your privacy rights #

Texas law gives Texas residents rights over their personal data. We offer these rights to every visitor. You can ask us to:

• confirm whether we have personal data about you, and see it
• correct personal data that is wrong
• delete personal data about you
• give you a copy of the personal data you gave us, in a format you can use
• opt out of the sale of personal data, targeted advertising, and certain profiling (we don't do any of these)

How to ask: Email [email protected] with the subject line "Privacy request," or use the form on our contact page and start your message with "Privacy request." Tell us what you'd like us to do. We may need to ask a few questions to confirm the request is really from you.

When we will answer: We will respond within 45 days. If we need more time, we will tell you why within those 45 days, and we may take up to 45 more days. Requests are free at least twice a year.

If we say no: We will explain why. You can appeal by emailing [email protected] with the subject line "Privacy appeal," or by using our contact form and starting your message with "Privacy appeal." We will answer your appeal in writing within 60 days. If we deny your appeal, you can file a complaint on the Texas Attorney General's consumer complaint page.

Cookies #

We don't use cookies for analytics or advertising. You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings. Our guides will still work.

Children #

This site is for a general audience, including teen drivers. It is not meant for children under 13, and we don't knowingly collect information from them. If you think a child under 13 has sent us information, email us and we will delete it.

Security #

We use reasonable steps to protect information. But no website or email system is perfectly secure, so please don't send sensitive information.

Links to other websites #

Our guides link to official sites such as TxDOT and the Texas Department of Insurance. Those sites have their own privacy policies. We are not responsible for how they handle information.

Changes to this policy #

If we change this policy, we will post the new version here and update the date below.
