Privacy Policy

Effective Date: January 1, 2025
Last Updated: August 23, 2026

SAFE SAPCR Texas ("we," "us," or "our") operates the website safesapcrtx.org. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information when you visit our site.

Information We Collect

Information You Provide

• Contact forms: If you contact us via email or a contact form, we collect your name, email address, and message content.
• Petition signatures: If you sign our petition, we collect your name, email, and optional location.
• Membership: If you join as a member, we collect your name, email, and any information you voluntarily provide.
• Newsletter: If you subscribe to our newsletter, we collect your email address.
• Email we send you: Messages we send to a list you opted into contain a single invisible 1x1 image unique to your copy. When your mail program loads that image, we record that the message was opened, when, and how many times. We do this to judge whether an update was worth sending. It tells us nothing about what you read or clicked inside the message, and nothing about you when you are not reading our mail. Many mail programs -- Apple Mail and Gmail among them -- load or block that image on their own, so the record is approximate by nature. If you would rather not be counted, turn off remote or external images in your mail program and the request is never made.

Information Collected Automatically

• Analytics: We use Google Analytics to collect anonymous usage data such as pages visited, time on site, browser type, and general geographic location. This data is aggregated and does not personally identify you.
• Server logs: Our hosting provider (Netlify) may collect standard server log data including IP addresses, browser type, and pages requested.
• A second analytics property we do not control. The Google Analytics tag served to this site also reports to a second measurement property that is not ours and that we did not add. It is not referenced anywhere in this site's code; it is attached at Google's end, so it loads for every visitor regardless of what we publish, and we cannot remove it from here. We are disclosing it rather than leaving it undisclosed. It receives the same category of data described above — pages viewed, approximate location, browser — and it is not covered by the assurances we give elsewhere on this page, because we do not control it. The Google Analytics opt-out linked under Your Rights blocks that property as well as ours.
• Meta (Facebook) Pixel. Added 22 August 2026. This is advertising technology, and it is a different kind of thing from the analytics above, so we are describing it plainly. On every page that carries it, the pixel reports to Meta that a browser loaded that page, together with the page address, the referring page, your IP address and your browser details. Meta can match that against a Facebook or Instagram account, and it can be combined with what Meta already knows about you from other websites. That means visiting this site is information Meta may hold, and this site is about family law — consider that before browsing here on a shared or monitored device. The pixel is not present on the eight translated homepages or on /perjury. To block it, use the tracker blocking in your browser's private mode or an extension such as uBlock Origin, or adjust your Meta ad preferences; opting out of Google Analytics does not affect it. If your browser sends a Global Privacy Control signal, the pixel does not load at all — nothing is sent to Meta and no further action is needed from you.

Data this site collected in early 2026, and still holds

Between 7 January and 12 April 2026 this site ran software that recorded technical details of visits to its own database, separate from the hosting provider’s logs described above. It recorded IP address, user agent, referring and visited page, screen resolution, timezone, HTTP headers, scroll depth, time on page, form interaction, and browser fingerprints including canvas and audio fingerprints. A companion table recorded requests to decoy paths, including IP address, user agent and the raw request body.

Canvas and audio fingerprints identify a browser by properties of the device rather than by cookies, which means they can work when private browsing or Tor is in use. Given who reads this site, that should not have been done without saying so, and this policy did not say so at the time.

Collection stopped on 12 April 2026 and the software that performed it was removed. Nothing on this site collects fingerprints today, and no code in it is capable of doing so.

The records are retained. They are restricted to server-side access; the public key used by this site’s own pages cannot read them, which was verified from outside on 26 August 2026. They are not deleted because the operator is a party to pending litigation and is subject to a duty to preserve records that may be relevant to it — a duty he has himself invoked against an opposing party in one of those cases. If you believe a record of your visit is among them and you want to know what it contains, write to info@safesapcrtx.org.

A fuller account, including the period during which one of these tables was readable by anyone holding this site’s public key, is in the corrections log.

How We Use Your Information

• To respond to your inquiries and communications
• To process petition signatures and membership requests
• To send newsletters and updates (only if you opt in)
• To measure whether the emails we send are opened, so we can send fewer and better ones
• To improve our website and understand how visitors use it
• To support our legislative advocacy efforts with aggregate data (e.g., total petition signatures by region)

Information We Do Not Collect

• We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties
• We do not collect payment or financial information
• We do not fingerprint your browser. This was not true between January and April 2026 — see “Data this site collected in early 2026” above.

Third-Party Services

We use the following third-party services:

• Netlify: Website hosting and serverless functions
• Google Analytics: Anonymous website usage analytics
• Meta (Facebook) Pixel: Advertising measurement. See Information Collected Automatically for what it sends and how to stop it.
• Supabase: Database services for petition signatures and membership data

Each of these services has its own privacy policy governing how they handle data.

That list covers the services we chose. It is not the complete set of parties receiving data about your visit — see the second analytics property described under Information Collected Automatically, which we did not add and cannot remove.

Data Security

We take reasonable measures to protect your information, including:

• HTTPS encryption on all pages
• Database access controls, reviewed 26 August 2026. Every table is restricted to server-side access except where a public form must write to it.
• Limited access to personal data

Your Rights

You have the right to:

• Request a copy of any personal information we hold about you
• Request correction or deletion of your personal information
• Unsubscribe from our newsletter at any time
• Opt out of Google Analytics by using the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on

Children's Privacy

Our website is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us so we can remove it.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last Updated" date.
