Data You Give Us Directly
Search Queries
A name or place entered in a search tool is transmitted directly to the outside provider operating that tool. The provider processes the query and supplies its results. We do not keep a separate log of those search terms.
Messages and Contact Submissions
Messages sent directly to us may be retained long enough to respond and maintain the exchange. We do not disclose them outside the organization unless the law requires disclosure.
Data We Gather Automatically
Normal server and analytics logs can collect technical details when a page loads:
- The IP address assigned to your device
- Which browser you are using and its version
- Your device type and operating system
- The pages you visited and how long you stayed on each
- The site that sent you here, if any
- Timestamps for each page view
Cookies and Analytics
Cookies are small device files that help measure page use, traffic patterns, and navigation. Analytics providers may combine those measurements into reports. A browser can reject cookies, though doing so may change how parts of the website function.
What We Do With This Data
- Keeping the site up, running, and loading quickly
- Sending your search requests to the right partner service
- Figuring out which pages people find useful and which need work
- Tracking down and fixing technical issues
- Showing ads that may line up with your interests
No Criminal-Record Data on File
We do not maintain, compile, or sell a database of personal criminal records. The site explains how Briscoe County records may be requested from the sheriff, courts, Texas Department of Public Safety, and Texas Public Sex Offender Registry. We are not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, and visitor data is not assembled into consumer reports or third-party dossiers.
Third-Party Search Partners
Outside companies operate the search boxes. Their privacy policies, retention periods, and sharing rules govern information submitted to them. Review the provider's terms before sending a query because this policy does not control that processing.
Links to Other Websites
Links may lead to courts, the sheriff, Texas agencies, public legal resources, or private search services. Once a visitor leaves this site, the destination's privacy policy applies. Read it before providing personal information.
Certain advertising partners may track your activity across sites to show targeted ads. That tracking runs on their systems, not ours.
Who Might See Your Data
We do not sell personal data. Limited information can be available to:
- Search partners that handle queries you run on our site
- Analytics services we use to track traffic and performance
- Ad networks that place ads on our pages
- Law enforcement or government bodies when a valid legal order requires it
How We Protect Your Data
Reasonable technical and organizational safeguards are used for collected data. No internet system is completely secure, so uninterrupted protection or the absence of a breach cannot be guaranteed.
Users Under 18
The website is intended for adults, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. Verified information submitted by a minor will be removed when identified.
Your Data Rights
Rights can vary by residence. Texas consumers may also have protections under the Texas Data Privacy and Security Act, Texas Business and Commerce Code Chapter 541, and the Texas Deceptive Trade Practices Act, Business and Commerce Code Chapter 17. Subject to applicable exceptions, you may:
- Ask for a copy of what we have on file about you
- Have us fix information that is wrong
- Request that we erase your data
- Opt out of certain kinds of data processing
