Welcome to Ethnic Texan! While we love sharing the Texan heritage, we believe that privacy is just as important as history. Our motto is: "Document the dead, but protect the living."

Here is how we keep our fellow Texans data safe:

• Living People are Private: If a person was born after 1925, we assume they are living. Their profiles are hidden or anonymized unless they have given us permission to share their details.
• No Personal Data: We do not publish sensitive information such as Social Security Numbers (for anyone) or full birth dates for the living.
• Photo Etiquette: We love old photos, but we will not post pictures of living relatives without asking them first.
• Sensitive Sources: Occasionally, a public document might mention a living person. In these cases, we mention the document existed but keep the personal details confidential.
