Information You Submit
Queries Sent to Search Providers
A name, location, or other term entered in a search tool is transmitted to the third-party provider operating that tool. We do not retain or log those search terms on our own systems. The provider's policy governs its handling of the query.
Messages Sent to Us
If you email us or use a contact form, we keep the message and contact details as needed to respond. We do not disclose the message outside our organization unless the law requires it.
Technical Data Collected Automatically
Ordinary server and measurement systems may record technical information when a page loads, including:
- Internet Protocol address
- Browser name and version
- Device type and operating system
- Pages viewed and time spent on them
- The referring website, when available
- Date and time stamps
Cookies
Cookies help measure how visitors use the site. You can block them through browser controls, though doing so may change how some functions perform.
How Information Is Used
- Operate the site and maintain its performance
- Send a search request to the selected partner service
- Measure which pages are useful to visitors
- Diagnose and repair technical problems
- Display advertising that may reflect visitor interests
Websites Beyond Our Control
Links may lead to Carson County offices, Texas corrections resources, government record portals, and independent search services. Once you leave this site, the destination's own privacy terms apply.
Some advertising partners may use their own technology to measure activity across different websites and select interest-based ads. That processing occurs on their systems, not ours.
Parties That May Receive Data
We do not sell personal information. Data may still be shared with limited recipients when needed:
- Search partners that process a submitted query
- Analytics providers that measure site use
- Advertising networks
- Law enforcement or another government body acting under a valid legal order
Reasonable Security Measures
We use standard safeguards suited to an internet reference site. No connected system is perfectly secure, however, and we cannot promise that data will never be intercepted, lost, or accessed without permission.
Use by Minors
This site is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. A parent or guardian who believes a minor submitted information may contact us to request its deletion.
Your Privacy Choices
- Ask for a copy of personal data we hold about you
- Ask us to correct inaccurate personal data
- Request deletion where applicable
- Opt out of certain processing where that right applies
These site-level choices do not alter a public record maintained under the Texas Public Information Act. Requests about an official record must go to the government office that keeps it.
Changes to This Notice
We may revise this privacy notice as our practices or legal duties change. A revised version becomes effective when it is posted here with its updated effective date.
