Information You Submit
A name, location, or other term entered in a search box is transmitted to the independent provider that operates the tool. We do not store or log those search terms on our own systems. The provider's privacy terms apply to the query and any account or payment information entered after leaving this site.
If you send an email or contact message, we retain the information needed to read and answer it. We do not share that message outside our organization unless a legal duty requires disclosure.
Technical Information Collected Automatically
Ordinary web services can record technical details when a page loads. Those details may include:
- Internet Protocol address;
- browser name and version;
- device category and operating system;
- pages viewed and time spent on them;
- the referring page or site, when supplied; and
- the date and time of a request.
Cookies and similar tools help measure how visitors move through the site. A browser can reject or remove cookies, though some functions may then behave differently.
How We Use Collected Data
Collected information supports a limited set of operational purposes:
- keeping pages available and responsive;
- sending a search request to the selected partner;
- learning which Erath County topics are useful;
- detecting faults and resolving technical problems; and
- displaying advertising that may reflect a visitor's interests.
Privacy After Leaving This Site
Links lead to Erath County release-record sources, sheriff and corrections pages, government portals, and independent search services. Once a visitor follows a link, the destination's privacy policy and technical practices govern that visit.
Some advertising companies can use their own systems to recognize activity across multiple websites and tailor advertisements. That cross-site processing occurs through their technology, not through a separate database of search terms maintained by this site.
Organizations That May Receive Data
We do not sell personal information. Data may nevertheless be handled by:
- search partners that process a submitted query;
- analytics providers that measure site use;
- advertising networks that deliver or measure ads; and
- law-enforcement or government authorities acting under a valid legal order.
Security Practices
We use reasonable, commonly accepted safeguards for the information under our control. No site connected to the internet can promise perfect security, and we cannot guarantee that a breach, interception, or technical failure will never occur.
This Site Is for Adults
Erath County Released Inmates is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If a parent or guardian believes a minor submitted personal data, use the Contact Us page to request review and deletion.
Your Privacy Choices
Subject to applicable law and the limits of records we actually hold, a person may ask to:
- receive a copy of personal data held about them;
- correct inaccurate personal information;
- erase information that no longer must be retained; or
- opt out of certain processing when that right applies.
These choices concern data controlled by this site. A government record held under the Texas Public Information Act, Government Code Chapter 552, remains under the control of its government custodian. Requests about a partner must go to that provider.
Changes to This Privacy Notice
We may revise this notice as services or legal obligations change. A revised version takes effect when posted here with its new effective date.
