Information You Submit
Search Terms
A name, location, or other query entered in an embedded search tool is sent to the outside provider that operates the tool. We do not store or log those search terms on our own systems. The provider's policy governs its handling of the query.
Messages
If you send an email or contact-form message, we retain the information needed to review and answer it. We do not share that message outside the organization unless disclosure is legally required.
Technical Information Collected Automatically
Routine web systems may record technical data when a page loads, including:
- Internet Protocol address
- Browser name and version
- Device type and operating system
- Pages viewed and time spent on them
- Referring website, when supplied
- Date and time stamps
Cookies
Cookies may be used to understand visits and site performance. Browser controls can reject or remove cookies, although some site or partner features may then work differently.
How Information Is Used
Collected information supports limited operational purposes:
- Operating the site and improving speed
- Sending search requests to the selected partner service
- Understanding which pages visitors find useful
- Diagnosing errors and security problems
- Displaying advertising that may reflect visitor interests
Websites and Services Outside Our Control
Links may lead to Terrell County records pages, sheriff or corrections sites, government portals, and third-party search services. Once you leave this site, the destination's own privacy terms apply.
Advertising providers may use their own systems to measure activity across websites and select targeted advertising. Their collection occurs under their policies, not this notice.
Parties That May Receive Data
We do not sell personal information. Data may be handled by:
- Search partners processing a submitted query
- Analytics providers measuring use
- Advertising networks delivering or assessing ads
- Law-enforcement or government authorities acting under a valid legal order
Texas Government Code Chapter 552 governs requests for information held by Texas government bodies. This private site's records are not Terrell County public records merely because the site links to county sources.
Security Practices
We use customary safeguards appropriate to a public website. No internet-connected service, storage system, or transmission method is completely secure, so we cannot promise that a breach or unauthorized access will never occur.
Visitors Under Eighteen
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 use the Contact Us page to request review and deletion.
Your Privacy Choices
Subject to applicable law and verification, you may ask for a copy of personal data we hold, request correction of inaccurate data, request deletion, or object to certain processing. A request can be submitted through the Contact Us page. Browser settings and provider controls may offer additional cookie or advertising choices.
Changes to This Notice
We may revise this privacy notice as site practices or legal requirements change. A new version becomes effective when posted here with its updated effective date.
