Data You Give Us Directly
Search Queries
A name or place entered in a search box is sent directly to the outside company operating that tool. The provider processes the query and supplies its results. We do not keep or record those search terms on our own systems.
Messages and Contact Submissions
An email sent to us may be retained so we can answer it. We keep that correspondence within our organization unless a binding legal duty requires disclosure.
Data We Gather Automatically
Our servers receive basic technical details whenever a visitor loads a page:
- Page-view dates and times
- Visited pages and the time spent on them
- Device type and operating system
- Browser name and version
- The referring site, when one is reported
- The device's assigned IP address
Cookies and Analytics
Cookies are small device files that help measure how people use the site, such as which pages draw visits and where a visit ends. Analytics providers combine that activity into traffic reports. A browser can reject cookies, although blocking them may change how some features work.
What We Do With This Data
- Routing a query to the selected search provider
- Maintaining site availability and page speed
- Diagnosing faults and other technical problems
- Measuring which pages serve visitors well
- Displaying advertising that may reflect visitor interests
No Criminal-Record Data on File
We do not keep, assemble, or sell a personal criminal-record database. The site explains where Throckmorton County records are maintained and how to approach the sheriff, the criminal court clerk, the Texas Department of Public Safety, and the Texas Public Sex Offender Registry. The county directory supplies other local office routes. We are not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act. Visitor information is not compiled into consumer reports or dossiers about other people.
Third-Party Search Partners
Independent companies operate the search boxes. A query submitted to one of those tools falls under that company's privacy policy rather than this policy. We cannot direct the provider's retention or disclosure practices, so review its terms before entering a search.
Links to Other Websites
Links may lead to the sheriff, court systems, Texas agencies, legal resources, or outside search services. Once you follow an external link, that destination's policy controls its handling of data. Check the policy before providing personal information.
Some advertising providers may observe activity across websites for ad selection. Their own systems perform that tracking.
Who Might See Your Data
Personal data is not sold by us. Limited information may be available to:
- Analytics providers measuring traffic and performance
- Search partners processing queries sent through their tools
- Advertising networks serving ads on the pages
- Government or law-enforcement bodies acting under a valid legal order
How We Protect Your Data
Reasonable, standard safeguards are used for collected data. No internet service can promise perfect security, however, and we cannot guarantee that a breach will never occur.
Users Under 18
The site is intended for adults, and we do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone younger than 18. If a minor's information has been provided, contact us so it can be removed.
Your Data Rights
Applicable privacy and consumer-protection law may provide rights beyond those listed here. The Texas Public Information Act governs records held by Texas governmental bodies, while Texas Government Code Chapter 411 limits dissemination of state criminal-history record information. Those public-record rules do not turn this private site into a government custodian. You may:
- Request deletion of personal data we retain
- Ask what personal information we hold about you
- Seek correction of inaccurate information
- Decline certain forms of data processing
Updates to This Policy
This policy may be revised. A changed version will be posted here and will carry a new effective date, so review the page periodically for current practices.
Effective date: August 10, 2026
