Data You Give Us Directly
Search Queries
A name or location entered into a search tool is sent directly to the outside provider operating that tool. The provider processes the query and supplies any results. We do not retain or log those search terms on our own systems.
Messages and Contact Submissions
When you email us, we retain the message as needed to respond. We keep it within our organization unless disclosure is required by a valid legal obligation.
Data We Gather Automatically
Our servers automatically receive basic technical details whenever a page loads:
- Pages viewed, visit duration, and page-view timestamps
- Device type and operating system
- The referring website, when one is provided
- Browser type and version
- The IP address assigned to the device
Cookies and Analytics
This site uses cookies, which are small files saved on a device, to help measure traffic and understand how visitors move through the pages. Analytics providers compile that activity into broader usage information. You may block cookies through your browser, although doing so can change how some site features behave.
What We Do With This Data
- Diagnosing technical faults and maintaining site security
- Routing a search request to the appropriate outside provider
- Measuring which pages are useful and where navigation can improve
- Operating the site and maintaining reliable page performance
- Displaying advertising that may reflect visitor interests
No Criminal-Record Data on File
We do not maintain, assemble, or sell a database of personal criminal records. The site explains how to reach the Foard County Sheriff, the courts in Crowell, the Texas Department of Public Safety (TxDPS), and the Texas Public Sex Offender Registry. It is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, and visitor information is not used to create consumer reports or third-party criminal-history files.
Third-Party Search Partners
Outside companies operate the search boxes shown on this website. Information submitted through a box is handled under that provider's privacy policy rather than this policy. We do not control a partner's retention or disclosure choices, so review its terms before running a query.
Links to Other Websites
Links may lead to the Foard County website, court systems, TxDPS resources, legal organizations, or outside search tools. Once you leave this site, the destination's privacy policy controls. Read that policy before providing personal information.
Some advertising companies may use activity across multiple websites to select ads. That tracking occurs through their systems and practices, not ours.
Who Might See Your Data
We do not sell personal information. Data may be available to:
- Government or law-enforcement bodies when valid legal process requires disclosure
- Advertising networks that serve ads on the site
- Outside search providers that process queries submitted to their tools
- Analytics providers that measure traffic and performance
How We Protect Your Data
We use customary safeguards for information in our care. No internet-connected system is completely secure, however, so we cannot guarantee that unauthorized access or a breach will never occur.
Users Under 18
This website is intended for adults, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone younger than 18. If we learn that a minor provided such information, we will delete it.
Your Data Rights
You may ask us to take the actions listed below concerning personal information held by this site. The Texas Public Information Act, Government Code Chapter 552, governs records held by Texas governmental bodies, not this privately operated website. Government Code §411.135 separately defines the conviction and deferred-adjudication information TxDPS may make public; it does not turn this site into the government record custodian.
- Request deletion of personal information we hold
- Ask what personal information we have about you
- Object to certain types of processing
- Request correction of inaccurate personal information
Updates to This Policy
This policy may be revised as the site or its practices change. Any revised version will appear here with an updated effective date, so review this page periodically.
Effective date: August 9, 2026
