Data You Give Us Directly
Search Queries
A name or place submitted through a search tool is sent directly to the outside provider operating that tool. The provider processes the entry and supplies its result. We do not keep a separate log of those search terms.
Messages and Contact Submissions
An email or other direct message may be retained long enough to review and answer it. It remains within our operation unless disclosure is required by law.
Data We Gather Automatically
Ordinary server and analytics logs may receive these technical details when a page loads:
- Page-view times and the pages visited
- Device and operating-system type
- The referring website, when supplied
- Browser name and version
- The device's assigned IP address
- Approximate visit duration
Cookies and Analytics
Cookies are small device files used to understand aggregate traffic, such as popular pages and common exit points. Analytics providers help compile those patterns. A browser can reject or remove cookies, although doing so may change how some features behave.
What We Do With This Data
- Route a submitted search to the provider that operates it
- Maintain site availability and page performance
- Detect and repair security or technical problems
- Measure which resources visitors use
- Support relevant advertising
No Criminal-Record Data on File
We do not build, store, or sell a database of personal criminal records. The published material explains how to reach Castro County clerks, the sheriff, Texas DPS Crime Records Service, and the Texas Public Sex Offender Registry. Visitor information is not assembled into a consumer report or a record about another person, and this resource is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act.
Third-Party Search Partners
Outside companies supply the search boxes. Their own privacy terms, retention schedules, and sharing practices apply to data entered there. Review the provider's policy before submitting information because this policy does not govern the provider's systems.
Links to Other Websites
Links may lead to Castro County offices, Texas agencies, court systems, legal resources, or commercial tools. Once a visitor leaves this website, the destination's privacy policy controls. Read it before providing personal details.
Advertising companies may use their own systems to recognize activity across websites and select ads. Their practices are outside our control.
Who Might See Your Data
Personal data is not sold by us. Limited information may be received by:
- Analytics services measuring traffic and performance
- Outside search providers handling a submitted query
- Advertising networks serving page content
- A government or law-enforcement body acting under valid legal process
How We Protect Your Data
Reasonable security practices are used for information under our control. No internet service can guarantee absolute protection, so a breach or unauthorized access cannot be ruled out.
Users Under 18
This resource is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from a person under 18. If such data is identified, a deletion request may be made.
Your Data Rights
Applicable privacy and consumer law may provide rights beyond this policy. The Texas Public Information Act governs public information held by government bodies, and Texas Government Code Chapter 411 governs criminal-history dissemination; neither turns this private site into a government records custodian. Subject to applicable law, you may:
- Request deletion of data linked to you
- Ask what personal information is held
- Seek correction of inaccurate information
- Object to processing where applicable
Updates to This Policy
A revised policy may be posted when these practices change. The date below identifies the version currently in effect.
