Information You Submit
Search entries
A name or location entered into a search tool is sent to the independent provider that operates that tool. We do not retain or log those search terms on our own systems.
Messages
If you send an email or another contact message, we keep the information needed to respond or address the request. It is not shared outside our organization unless disclosure is required by law.
Technical Data and Cookies
Like most websites, we may receive routine technical details when a browser requests a page. This information helps operate and troubleshoot the service.
- The IP address used to connect.
- Browser type and version.
- Device type and operating system.
- Pages viewed and time spent on them.
- The referring website, when supplied.
- Request dates and times.
Cookie choices
Cookies help measure how visitors use the site. Your browser settings may block or remove them, although some features can work differently after cookies are disabled.
How Information Is Used
We use submitted and technical information for ordinary site operations and to understand whether its navigation and tools function as intended.
- Maintain and improve site performance.
- Send a search request to the selected partner service.
- Assess which reference pages are useful.
- Identify and correct technical problems.
- Deliver advertising that may be based on interests.
External Services and Links
Links can lead to official sheriff, jail, court, corrections, and custody resources, as well as independent search tools. Those destinations apply their own privacy practices after you leave this site. For example, Texas Government Code Chapter 552 governs public-information access through government custodians, not the handling of data by this private reference site.
Advertising providers may track activity across different websites for interest-based advertising through their own systems. Their collection and choices are governed by their own notices.
Parties That May Receive Data
We do not sell personal data. Depending on the service involved and applicable law, information may be received by the following categories of recipients.
- Search partners that process a submitted query.
- Analytics services that measure site activity.
- Advertising networks that deliver ads.
- Law enforcement or government bodies responding to a valid legal order.
Security Practices
We use reasonable safeguards intended to protect information in our control. No online system is completely secure, however, and we cannot guarantee that unauthorized access, loss, or disclosure will never occur.
