Data You Give Us Directly
Search Queries
A name or location entered in a search tool is sent directly to the outside company operating that tool. The partner processes the query and supplies its result. We do not keep a separate log of those terms.
Messages and Contact Submissions
An email may be retained long enough to respond and manage the exchange. It remains within the organization unless disclosure is required by law.
Data We Gather Automatically
A page request can produce routine technical records such as:
- Page-view timestamps and duration
- The referring site, when one is reported
- Browser name and version
- Device type and operating system
- Pages requested during the visit
- The device's assigned IP address
Cookies and Analytics
Cookies are small files that help measure visits, popular pages, and points where a session ends. Analytics providers may aggregate that traffic. Browser controls can block cookies, although doing so may alter how some functions behave.
What We Do With This Data
- Diagnosing technical faults
- Maintaining speed and availability
- Routing a submitted search to the selected partner
- Measuring which pages are useful
- Displaying advertising that may reflect visitor interests
No Criminal-Record Data on File
No database of personal criminal-record information is maintained, compiled, or sold here. The content identifies how to reach Newton County Sheriff, the criminal court clerks, the Texas Department of Public Safety, and the Texas Public Sex Offender Registry. Visitor data is not assembled into consumer reports or third-party criminal histories, and the site is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act.
Third-Party Search Partners
Outside companies operate the search boxes. Their privacy terms govern query processing, retention, and disclosure once information is submitted. Review the selected provider's policy first because those practices are outside this operator's control.
Links to Other Websites
Links to a sheriff, court, Texas agency, legal-aid group, or search provider lead to a separate website. Its policy applies after the link is opened and should be reviewed before personal information is supplied.
Advertising providers may use their own systems to recognize activity across websites for ad selection. That processing occurs under their controls.
Who Might See Your Data
Personal data is not sold. Limited information may be available to:
- Analytics services measuring traffic and performance
- A search partner processing a query
- Advertising networks serving page ads
- A government or law-enforcement body acting under a valid legal demand
How We Protect Your Data
Reasonable, standard safeguards are used for collected data. No internet service can guarantee perfect security, so a breach or unauthorized access cannot be ruled out.
Users Under 18
The site is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone younger than 18. A verified report of such data will be handled with a deletion request.
Your Data Rights
Texas Government Code Chapter 552 governs public-information access, while Government Code Chapter 411 limits criminal-history dissemination by public bodies. Those laws do not turn this private site into a government record custodian. Subject to applicable law and technical limits, a visitor 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
Updates to This Policy
This policy may be revised as practices or legal requirements change. The replacement text becomes available on this page together with its current effective date.
