Information You Submit
Search terms
A name, location, or other detail entered into a search box is sent to the third-party company that operates that tool. We do not store or log those search terms on our own systems. The provider's privacy terms govern its handling of the query.
Messages
If you send an email or contact-form message, we retain the information needed to read and answer it. We do not share that correspondence outside the organization unless a valid legal requirement compels disclosure.
Automatically Collected Details
Standard web systems may record technical and usage details when a page loads. These records help operate, secure, and understand the site.
- Internet Protocol address
- Browser name and version
- Device type and operating system
- Pages viewed and time spent
- Referring site, when supplied
- Date and time stamps
Cookies
Cookies and similar tools help measure how visitors use pages and may support advertising. Browser controls can reject or remove cookies, although some site or partner features may then work differently.
How Information Is Used
Collected information supports ordinary site operations and service delivery.
- Keep pages available, responsive, and secure
- Send search requests to the selected partner service
- Understand which resources visitors use
- Diagnose errors and technical faults
- Display advertising that may reflect inferred interests
Outside Websites and Advertising
Links may lead to Refugio County offices, sheriff and corrections pages, release-record portals, federal systems, and third-party search services. Once a visitor follows a link, the destination's own privacy notice and data practices apply.
Advertising companies may use their own technology to measure activity across websites and select ads. That tracking occurs on their systems and is governed by their policies, not this notice.
When Data May Be Shared
We do not sell personal data. Limited information may be disclosed to service providers or authorities that have a valid reason to receive it.
- Search partners that process submitted queries
- Analytics providers that measure site use
- Advertising networks that deliver or assess ads
- Law-enforcement or government bodies acting under a valid legal order
Security Practices
Reasonable technical and organizational measures are used to protect information under our control. No internet-connected service, transmission method, or storage system is completely secure. We therefore cannot promise that a breach or unauthorized access will never occur.
Visitors Under Eighteen
This site is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under eighteen. A parent or guardian who believes a minor submitted information may use the Contacts page to request review and deletion.
Your Privacy Choices
Subject to applicable law and verification, you may ask for a copy of personal data held by us, request correction of inaccurate information, request deletion, or object to certain processing. These choices concern data controlled by this site. Government records and information held by outside search providers must be addressed to the relevant custodian.
Changes to This Notice
Privacy practices and service providers may change. An updated notice will be posted here and will take effect on its stated effective date. Continued use after an update means the revised practices apply.
