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 provider processes the request and supplies its result. We do not keep a separate log of the search terms entered there.
Messages and Contact Submissions
An email may be retained as needed to prepare and document a response. It remains within our organization unless disclosure is required by a valid legal duty.
Data We Gather Automatically
When a page loads, the server can collect routine technical details about that visit:
- Page-view dates and timestamps
- Browser name and version
- Device type and operating system
- IP address assigned to the device
- Pages viewed and approximate time on each
- The referring website, when available
Cookies and Analytics
Cookies are small device files that help measure how people move through the site, including popular pages and common exit points. Analytics services combine that traffic information. A visitor may block cookies through browser controls, although doing so can change how some features behave.
What We Do With This Data
- Delivering a search request to the selected partner
- Maintaining reliable and efficient site operation
- Finding and correcting technical problems
- Measuring which pages serve readers well
- Displaying advertising that may reflect visitor interests
No Criminal-Record Data on File
We do not build, keep, or sell a database of personal criminal records. The content identifies how to request Jim Hogg County material from the Sheriff's Department, the County and District Clerk, Texas Department of Public Safety, and the Texas Public Sex Offender Registry. Visitor information is not assembled into third-party criminal dossiers or consumer reports, and this 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, retention schedules, and disclosure practices govern information submitted to a tool. Review the applicable provider policy before beginning a search because those practices are outside our control.
Links to Other Websites
Links lead to public offices such as Jim Hogg County, Texas DPS, and the courts, as well as independent search providers. Once a visitor leaves, the destination's privacy policy controls. Read that policy before providing personal details.
Advertising companies may use their own systems to measure activity across websites for targeted advertising. Their collection does not occur on systems we control.
Who Might See Your Data
We do not sell personal data. Limited information may be available to:
- Analytics providers measuring traffic and performance
- Search partners processing a visitor's query
- Advertising networks placing ads on site pages
- Government authorities acting under a valid legal order
How We Protect Your Data
Reasonable, commonly used safeguards protect collected data. No internet service can promise absolute security, however, and this policy does not guarantee that a breach can never occur.
Users Under 18
This resource is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone younger than 18. If data from a minor is identified, a deletion request may be submitted.
Your Data Rights
The Texas Public Information Act, Government Code Chapter 552, applies to records held by public bodies, not visitor data held by this private site. Government Code Chapter 411 separately controls dissemination of Texas criminal-history information. For data maintained by us, a visitor may:
- Request access to personal information on file
- Ask that inaccurate information be corrected
- Seek deletion of retained personal data
- Object to certain forms of processing
Updates to This Policy
Revisions will be posted here and identified by a new effective date. Visitors should review the current version when they want to understand how information is handled.
Effective date: August 9, 2026
