Data You Give Us Directly
Search Queries
A name or place entered in a search tool is sent directly to the outside company operating that feature. The provider processes the query and supplies its result. Terry County Criminal History does not keep or log those search terms on its own systems.
Messages and Contact Submissions
An email message may be retained long enough to respond and maintain the related correspondence. It remains within the site team unless disclosure is required by a valid legal duty.
Data We Gather Automatically
Ordinary server and analytics logs may collect these technical details when a page loads:
- Page-view dates and times
- Browser name and version
- Device category and operating system
- Visited pages and approximate time on them
- A referring website, when supplied
- The device's assigned IP address
Cookies and Analytics
Cookies are small device files that help measure aggregate use, such as popular pages and where visits end. Analytics providers assist with that measurement. A browser can block or remove cookies, although doing so may change how some site functions behave.
What We Do With This Data
- Route a submitted query to the selected search provider
- Maintain performance, availability, and security
- Diagnose faults and other technical problems
- Understand which resources visitors use
- Display advertising that may reflect visitor interests
No Criminal-Record Data on File
Terry County Criminal History does not build, keep, or sell a database of personal criminal records. It publishes general directions to the Terry County Sheriff, local court clerks, the Texas Department of Public Safety, and the Texas Public Sex Offender Registry. Texas Government Code Chapter 552 supplies the public-information request process, while Government Code Chapter 411 governs state criminal-history dissemination. Visitor information is not compiled into a third-party criminal file or consumer report. This website is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act.
Third-Party Search Partners
Outside companies supply the search tools. Information submitted to a tool is governed by that company's privacy policy, retention schedule, and sharing rules. Those practices are outside our control, so review the provider's terms before running a query.
Links to Other Websites
Links may lead to Terry County offices, Texas agencies, courts, legal resources, or commercial search services. Once a reader leaves this website, the destination's own privacy terms apply. Review them before providing personal information.
Advertising companies may use their systems to recognize activity across websites for interest-based ads. We do not operate those tracking systems.
Who Might See Your Data
Personal data is not sold. Limited information may be available to:
- Analytics vendors measuring traffic and performance
- Search providers processing a query
- Advertising networks serving page content
- Government or law-enforcement bodies acting under a valid legal order
How We Protect Your Data
Reasonable, commonly used safeguards protect information under our control. No internet service can guarantee absolute security, and this policy does not promise that an intrusion or loss can never occur.
Users Under 18
The website is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone younger than 18. Data known to have been provided by a minor will be removed after notice and verification.
Your Data Rights
Texas consumer protections, including the Texas Data Privacy and Security Act in Business and Commerce Code Chapter 541, may provide rights that depend on the law's scope and exceptions. A visitor may ask to:
- Confirm or obtain qualifying personal data
- Correct inaccurate qualifying information
- Delete data when the law requires it
- Opt out of covered forms of processing
