Data You Give Us Directly
Search Queries
A name or location entered in a search tool is transmitted directly to the outside provider that operates it. That provider processes the query and supplies the response; we do not retain or log those search terms on our systems.
Messages and Contact Submissions
We retain an email or other direct message as needed to answer it. It remains within our organization unless disclosure is required by law.
Data We Gather Automatically
When a page loads, the servers automatically receive certain technical and usage details:
- Page-view timestamps and the pages visited
- Your device type and operating system
- The referring site, when one is available
- Your browser type and version
- The device's IP address
- Approximate time spent on individual pages
Cookies and Analytics
Cookies are small device files that help show how the site is used, including popular pages and typical exit points. Analytics providers combine this traffic information for us. You may block cookies through your browser settings, although doing so can change how some site features behave.
What We Do With This Data
- Diagnosing and resolving technical problems
- Operating the site and maintaining its performance
- Understanding which pages are useful and which require improvement
- Routing a query to the selected search partner
- Displaying advertising that may reflect your interests
No Criminal-Record Data on File
We do not maintain, assemble, or sell a database of personal criminal-record information. The site provides general directions to records held by the Borden County Sheriff, the combined District/County Clerk, the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS), and the Texas Public Sex Offender Registry. We are not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, and visitor data is not compiled into consumer reports or third-party criminal profiles.
Third-Party Search Partners
Outside companies operate the search boxes. Information submitted there is governed by that partner's privacy policy, including its retention and disclosure practices, rather than this policy. Review those terms before running a query because we do not control them.
Links to Other Websites
Links may lead to county offices, Texas agencies, court portals, legal-aid resources, and external search services. Once you leave this site, the destination's privacy policy applies; read it before providing personal information.
Some advertising providers may use their own systems to follow activity across websites for targeted advertising.
Who Might See Your Data
Personal data is not sold. It may be disclosed to:
- Analytics providers measuring traffic and performance
- Search partners processing a query you choose to submit
- Government or law-enforcement bodies acting under a valid legal order
- Advertising networks serving ads on the site
How We Protect Your Data
We use customary safeguards for information we collect, but no internet-connected system is completely secure. We take reasonable protective measures without guaranteeing that a breach can never occur.
Users Under 18
This website is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone younger than 18. If we learn that a minor supplied such data, we will delete it.
Your Data Rights
Rights may vary by residence and applicable law. The Texas Data Privacy and Security Act, Texas Business & Commerce Code Chapter 541, provides qualifying consumers with specific rights and exceptions. The Texas Public Information Act, Government Code Chapter 552, and criminal-history access and dissemination rules in Government Code Chapter 411 govern government-held information; they do not turn this private site into an official records custodian. Subject to applicable law, you may:
- Request deletion of eligible personal data
- Ask to correct inaccurate personal information
- Request access to or a copy of eligible data associated with you
- Opt out of processing where the governing law provides that choice
Updates to This Policy
This policy may be revised. Any replacement will be posted here with an updated effective date, so review this page periodically for changes.
Effective date: August 9, 2026
