2. What do we not gather?
The Virtual Court Kiosks does not track usernames or passwords. Any data collected is intended to be anonymized and is based on sessions, meaning individual users are not identified in the data. While we take steps to keep all data anonymous, i.e., we do not ask for your name or any other personal information to identify you as a user of the Virtual Court Kiosks, it is possible to glean some of those details through your usage of the kiosk to access publicly accessible pages, such as accessing social media profiles or other personal pages.
Should you have further questions or comments about this policy or if you want to know more about how Texas Legal Services Center collects and uses your information, your choices and rights regarding such use, please contact us at kiosks@tlsc.org.
