Who publishes this site?

Century House, of Houston, Texas, publishes centuryhouse.net. This policy covers this site only.

What information does Century House collect?

The site collects information in two ways.

  • Forms. The Suggest a correction and Contact forms collect what you type: your message, the page you are writing about and any source link. Your name and email address are optional. Submissions are stored in the site’s administration area and emailed to the editors.
  • Server logs. The web host records standard request data, such as IP address, browser type, the page requested and the time. These logs are used to run and secure the site.

To limit spam, each form allows one submission per minute from the same connection. The check uses a scrambled form of your IP address that expires after one minute.

Does Century House use cookies or tracking?

Century House runs no advertising, analytics or social media trackers, and it sets no cookies for visitors who read the site. Editors who sign in to manage the site receive WordPress login cookies.

Which outside services load on this site?

Pages with a map load the Leaflet map library from unpkg.com and map tiles from OpenStreetMap. Those services receive your IP address and browser details when the map loads, under their own privacy policies. Fonts are served from this site, not from an outside font service.

Entries link to outside sources, such as government sites. Once you follow a link, that site’s own policy applies.

Century House uses form submissions to review and fix entries and to answer messages. It does not sell, rent or share personal information for marketing, and it shows no ads.

How long is it kept?

Messages are kept as long as needed to review and answer them and to keep a record of corrections. Server logs are kept by the host for its standard period.

What choices do you have?

You can send a correction without giving your name or email address. To ask for a message you sent to be removed, use the Contact page and say which message it was.
