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 tool. The provider processes the request and supplies its results; we do not retain or record those search terms on our systems.
Messages and Contact Submissions
We retain an email message as needed to answer it. It remains within our organization unless disclosure is required by law.
Data We Gather Automatically
Our servers automatically receive basic technical details when a page loads:
- Page-view times and the pages viewed
- Device type and operating system
- Your device's IP address
- Browser name and version
- Time spent on visited pages
- A referring site, when one exists
Cookies and Analytics
Cookies are small files placed on a device that help measure traffic patterns, including popular pages and points where visits end. Analytics providers aggregate this usage data. You may block cookies through browser controls, although doing so can change how parts of the site function.
What We Do With This Data
- Operating the site and maintaining performance
- Diagnosing and repairing technical problems
- Routing a search to the selected partner
- Measuring which pages are useful or need improvement
- 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 how to locate Brazoria County information through the Sheriff, the appropriate court clerks, the Texas Department of Public Safety Crime Records Division, and the Texas Public Sex Offender Registry. We are not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, and visitor data is not used to create consumer reports or third-party criminal profiles.
Third-Party Search Partners
Outside companies operate the search boxes. Their privacy policies, retention periods, and sharing rules govern information entered there, and those practices are outside our control. Read the applicable partner policy before using a search.
Links to Other Websites
Links may lead to sheriff pages, court portals, Texas agencies, legal-aid resources, or outside search services. Once you leave this site, the destination's privacy policy applies. Review it before providing personal information.
Some advertising companies track activity across websites to select ads. That processing occurs through the advertiser's systems.
Who Might See Your Data
Personal data is not sold. It may be disclosed to:
- Analytics providers that measure site traffic and operation
- Search partners processing a query you submit
- Advertising networks serving ads
- Government or law-enforcement bodies acting under a valid legal demand
How We Protect Your Data
We use customary safeguards for collected data. No internet system is completely secure, however, so 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 we learn that a minor supplied such data, we will remove it.
Your Data Rights
Applicable law may provide rights over certain personal data. The Texas Public Information Act, Texas Government Code Chapter 552, governs access to information held by Texas governmental bodies, while Government Code Chapter 411 limits dissemination of state criminal history. Those statutes do not turn this private site into a government records custodian. For eligible data held by us, you may request to:
- Obtain a copy of personal data held about you
- Correct inaccurate personal data
- Delete eligible personal data
- Opt out of qualifying forms of processing
Updates to This Policy
We may revise this policy. A revision becomes available here with an updated effective date, so review this page periodically for changes.
Effective date: August 9, 2026
