Data You Give Us Directly
Search Queries
A name or place entered in a search tool is sent directly to the outside company that operates that tool. The provider processes the query and supplies its result. We do not keep or log those search terms on our systems.
Messages and Contact Submissions
Messages sent to us may be retained so a response can be prepared. They remain within our organization unless disclosure is required by a valid legal obligation.
Data We Gather Automatically
When a page loads, the server may automatically receive technical information about the visit:
- Page-view dates, times, and visit duration
- Your device's assigned IP address
- Operating system and general device type
- Browser name and version
- Pages viewed during the visit
- The referring website, when one is available
Cookies and Analytics
Cookies are small files placed on a device. They and analytics services help us understand traffic patterns, including which pages are viewed most and where visits end. Browser controls can block cookies, though disabling them may change how some features work.
What We Do With This Data
- Operating the site and maintaining page performance
- Routing a search request to the selected outside service
- Measuring which content visitors use
- Finding and repairing technical faults
- Displaying advertising that may reflect general interests
No Criminal-Record Data on File
We do not keep, assemble, or sell a database of personal criminal histories. Fayette County record guidance points readers toward the Sheriff, court clerks, Texas Department of Public Safety, and Texas Public Sex Offender Registry. Public access to Texas conviction and deferred-adjudication information is governed in part by Texas Government Code § 411.135, while confidentiality and authorized dissemination rules appear in Chapter 411, including §§ 411.071-411.078. Those statutes govern official criminal-history information; they do not turn this private site into a government repository or consumer reporting agency.
Third-Party Search Partners
Outside companies operate the search boxes. Information submitted through a tool is governed by that provider's privacy policy. We do not control its retention or sharing practices, so review those terms before entering a query.
Links to Other Websites
Links may lead to the Fayette County government, Texas agencies, courts, legal resources, and outside search services. Once you leave this site, the destination's privacy rules apply. Review them before providing personal information.
Advertising companies may use their own systems to measure activity across websites and select ads. Their tracking is subject to their policies.
Who Might See Your Data
Personal data is not sold. Limited information may be available to:
- Analytics providers measuring traffic and performance
- Outside search services that receive a query you submit
- Advertising networks serving content on the pages
- A government or law enforcement body acting under a valid legal order
How We Protect Your Data
Reasonable security practices are used to protect collected data. No internet service is completely secure, however, and we cannot guarantee that a breach will never occur.
Users Under 18
This resource is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone younger than 18. If we learn that such information was submitted, we will remove it.
Your Data Rights
Rights can vary with the law that applies to you. You may ask about data associated with your visit and request an available correction, deletion, or processing choice. The Texas Public Information Act, Government Code Chapter 552, governs access to records held by Texas governmental bodies, not private-site visitor data. Likewise, Government Code Chapter 411 controls official criminal-history dissemination. Those laws should not be read as expanding what this site collects or promising a right that does not apply:
- Request access to personal data we retain about you
- Ask that inaccurate retained data be corrected
- Request deletion when the governing law permits it
- Choose not to participate in certain processing when that option applies
Updates to This Policy
This policy may be revised as practices or legal requirements change. A revised version will be posted here and will show its new effective date.
