Information You Choose to Send
Terms Entered in Search Tools
A name, place, or other term entered in a search box is transmitted to the third-party provider that operates the tool. Collingsworth County Released Inmates does not store or log those search terms on its own systems. The provider may process the query under its own privacy notice, terms, and retention practices.
Messages Sent to Us
If you send an email or contact-form message, we keep the message and contact details long enough to review and answer it. We do not share that correspondence outside the organization unless disclosure is required by law or a valid legal process.
Technical Details Collected Automatically
Normal website operations may record limited technical and activity data when a page loads. This data helps deliver pages, spot faults, measure use, and protect the service. It may include:
- The internet protocol address used for the request
- Browser name, type, and version
- Device category and operating system
- Pages viewed and time spent on them
- The referring page or site, when supplied
- Date and time stamps for visits and requests
Cookies and Similar Storage
Cookies may be used to understand site use and support advertising or analytics functions. Most browsers let a visitor block, limit, or delete cookies. Some features may load or behave differently when cookies are disabled.
Reasons We Use Information
Collected information is used only for routine site and service needs. Those needs include:
- Keeping the website available and responsive
- Sending a search request to the selected partner tool
- Learning which pages visitors find useful
- Finding, diagnosing, and correcting technical faults
- Displaying advertising that may reflect visitor interests
Privacy Beyond This Website
Links may lead to the Collingsworth County Sheriff, TDCJ, parole and probation sources, federal locators, court resources, or outside search tools. Official records held by Texas governmental bodies may be subject to Texas Government Code chapter 552 and its exceptions, but that public-records law is distinct from this site's privacy practices. Each destination controls its own data and applies its own policy after a visitor follows a link.
Advertising partners may use their own technology to recognize activity across sites and select interest-based advertisements. That processing occurs through their systems, not through a record database hosted by Collingsworth County Released Inmates.
Parties That May Receive Data
We do not sell personal information. Limited data may reach the following parties when needed to operate the site or comply with law:
- Search partners that receive and process submitted queries
- Analytics providers that measure website use
- Advertising networks that deliver or measure advertisements
- Law enforcement or another governmental body acting under a valid legal order
Steps Used to Protect Data
We use ordinary administrative and technical safeguards suited to this type of website. No service connected to the internet can promise perfect security. We therefore cannot guarantee that unauthorized access, loss, or disclosure will never occur.
Visitors Younger Than Eighteen
This site is intended for adults. We do not knowingly seek or collect personal information from anyone under eighteen. If a parent or guardian believes a minor submitted personal data, contact us so the material can be reviewed and deleted where appropriate.
Choices About Your Data
Subject to applicable law and the information we actually hold, a visitor may:
- Ask for a copy of personal data held by us
- Request correction of inaccurate personal information
- Ask that personal data be erased
- Object to or opt out of certain processing
These choices apply to information controlled by this site. A government agency, search partner, analytics service, or ad network must address requests about data in its own custody.
Changes to This Privacy Notice
We may revise this notice as site practices or legal requirements change. The current version will be posted on this page with a new effective date when an update is made.
