Information You Submit
Search entries
A name, place, or other term entered in a search box passes to the third-party provider operating that tool. This site does not separately store or log those search terms on its own systems.
Messages
Information sent by email or a contact form is retained as needed to answer the message. It is not shared outside the organization unless disclosure is required by law.
Technical Data Received Automatically
Normal web operations can record limited technical details when a page loads, including:
- Internet Protocol address;
- browser name and version;
- device category and operating system;
- pages viewed and time spent;
- the referring page, when supplied; and
- date and time stamps.
Cookies
Cookies help measure how visitors use the site and support site functions. Most browsers allow cookies to be blocked or deleted. Some features may work differently when cookies are disabled.
Reasons Data Is Used
Collected information supports ordinary operation and improvement of the service. It may be used to:
- operate the site and maintain performance;
- send a search request to the selected partner;
- understand which pages visitors find useful;
- diagnose faults and security issues; and
- display advertising that may reflect user interests.
Other Websites and Advertising
Links lead to sheriff and corrections pages, public-record portals, release resources, and outside search tools. Once a visitor follows a link, the destination's privacy notice controls its collection and use.
Some advertising partners may use their own systems to measure activity across websites and tailor ads. Their tracking takes place under their policies, not this one.
When Information Is Shared
Personal information is not sold. Limited data may be disclosed to:
- search partners that process submitted queries;
- analytics providers that measure site performance;
- advertising networks that deliver ads; and
- law-enforcement or government authorities responding to a valid legal order.
Security Measures and Limits
Reasonable, standard safeguards are used for information under the site's control. No internet-connected service is completely secure, so protection against every breach, interception, or unauthorized act cannot be guaranteed.
Visitors Under Eighteen
This service is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under eighteen. A parent or guardian who believes a minor submitted information may use the Contact Us page to request deletion.
Your Privacy Choices
Subject to applicable law and verification of the request, a person may ask to:
- receive a copy of personal data held;
- correct inaccurate personal information;
- delete eligible personal data; or
- opt out of certain processing where that right applies.
Changes to This Notice
This privacy notice may be revised as practices or legal duties change. A new version takes effect when posted here with its updated effective date.
Requests under this notice concern data held by this private site. Texas Government Code Chapter 552 governs requests for Kaufman County or Texas agency records and must be directed to the government custodian.
