Information We Collect Automatically

When you visit our Site, we automatically collect certain information about your device and your interaction with our Site. This information is primarily used for statistical purposes to help us improve the functionality and content of the Site. The information collected may include:

  • IP Address: Your Internet Protocol (IP) address, which is a unique numerical label assigned to your device when it connects to the internet. This helps us understand the geographic location of our users (at a broad level) and diagnose server issues.
  • Browser Type: Information about the web browser you are using (e.g., Chrome, Firefox, Safari), which helps us ensure our Site functions correctly across different browsers.
  • Operating System: Information about the operating system of your device (e.g., Windows, macOS, Android, iOS), which helps us optimize the Site for various platforms.
  • Pages Visited: Details about the specific pages you visit on our Site, the time and date of your visit, and the duration of your visit. This helps us understand which parts of our Site are most popular and how users navigate our content.

We do not collect personal identifying information (such as names, addresses, or email addresses) directly through these automatic means unless you voluntarily provide it through forms or other interactive elements on the Site where such collection is clearly indicated and necessary for a specific service (e.g., program registration).

Cookies

Our Site may use "cookies" to enhance your experience. Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device by websites that you visit. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, as well as to provide information to the owners of the site.

  • We may use essential cookies for the proper functioning of the Site (e.g., maintaining user sessions for application forms).
  • We may also use analytics cookies to collect information about how visitors use our Site, which helps us to improve its design, content, and overall user experience.

You have the option to accept or decline cookies. Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline cookies if you prefer. However, if you choose to disable cookies, some parts of our Site may not function properly or some features may be inaccessible.

Third-Party Services

We may use third-party services, such as web analytics services (e.g., Google Analytics), to help us understand how visitors engage with our Site. These services may collect information directly from your browser when you visit our Site and may use cookies or other tracking technologies.

The information collected by these third-party services is used to analyze website traffic, trends, and user behavior to improve the functionality and user experience of our Site. These third parties have their own privacy policies governing how they use such information, and we encourage you to review them.

Please be aware that any third-party services used by the Impact Texas Drivers Program adhere to the data privacy and security standards set forth by the State of Texas.
