Data You Give Us Directly
Search Queries
A name or location entered in a search box is sent directly to the outside company operating that tool. The provider processes the query and supplies its results. We do not retain or log those search terms on our systems.
Messages and Contact Submissions
An email sent to us may be kept so that we can respond. It remains within our organization unless disclosure is required by law.
Data We Gather Automatically
When a page loads, server systems may automatically receive technical visit data:
- 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 traffic and general use patterns. Analytics providers may combine this activity into reports. A browser can block cookies, though some site functions may then work differently.
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
Terrell County Criminal History does not maintain, assemble, or sell a database of personal criminal records. It identifies official routes such as the Terrell County sheriff and courts, the Texas Department of Public Safety Crime Records Division, and the Texas Public Sex Offender Registry. We are not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, and visitor information is not compiled into consumer reports or third-party criminal profiles.
Third-Party Search Partners
Outside companies power the search boxes. Their own privacy terms, retention rules, and sharing practices govern any query submitted to them. Review the provider's policy before using its search.
Links to Other Websites
Links may lead to the sheriff, courts, Texas agencies, legal resources, or outside search services. Once a visitor follows a link, the destination's privacy policy applies. Read it before providing personal data.
Advertising companies may use their own systems to track activity across websites and select targeted advertisements.
Who Might See Your Data
We do not sell personal data. Information may be received by:
- 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
Standard safeguards are used for collected data, but no internet service can promise perfect security or guarantee that a breach will never occur.
Users Under 18
The service is intended for adults, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from a person under 18. If such information is identified, it will be deleted.
Your Data Rights
Applicable privacy and consumer-protection law may provide further rights. The Texas Public Information Act governs access to Texas government records, while Government Code Chapter 411 limits dissemination of criminal-history record information. Those laws do not convert this private site into a government records custodian. Subject to applicable law, 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
