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. Wilbarger County Criminal History does not keep or log those search terms on its own systems.
Messages and Contact Submissions
An email may be retained long enough to review and answer it. Messages remain within the operating team unless disclosure is required by a valid legal obligation.
Data We Gather Automatically
When a page loads, the servers may automatically record routine technical and usage details:
- Page-view times and the pages visited
- The device's IP address
- Browser type and version
- Operating system and device category
- Time spent on individual pages
- A referring website, when available
Cookies and Analytics
Cookies are small files placed on a device. They and analytics services help combine traffic information, such as popular pages and common exit points. A browser can reject or remove cookies, though blocking them may change how some site functions behave.
What We Do With This Data
- Route a search query to the selected partner
- Maintain site availability and page speed
- Diagnose errors and other technical faults
- Assess which pages are useful or need improvement
- Display advertising that may reflect visitor interests
No Criminal-Record Data on File
Wilbarger County Criminal History does not compile, keep, or sell a database of personal criminal records. Its content explains how to reach the Wilbarger County Sheriff, local courts, Texas DPS Crime Records Division, and Texas Public Sex Offender Registry. No visitor data is turned into a third-party criminal file or consumer report, and this site is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act.
Third-Party Search Partners
Outside companies power the search tools. Their privacy terms, retention periods, and sharing rules apply to data entered there. Those practices are beyond this site's control, so review the provider's policy before sending a query.
Links to Other Websites
Links may lead to the Sheriff, court systems, state agencies, outside search tools, or other resources. Once a visitor follows a link, the destination's privacy policy governs. Review it before providing personal information.
Advertising providers may use their own systems to track activity across websites for targeted advertising. This site does not control that tracking.
Who Might See Your Data
Personal information is not sold. It may be disclosed or processed only by limited categories of recipients:
- Analytics vendors measuring traffic and performance
- Search partners processing a submitted query
- Advertising networks serving ads
- Government or law-enforcement bodies acting under a valid legal order
How We Protect Your Data
Reasonable, standard safeguards are used for information collected here. No internet service can guarantee perfect security, however, so a breach-free system cannot be promised.
Users Under 18
This service is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If a minor's information is identified, a request may be made for its deletion.
Your Data Rights
Rights can vary with a visitor's place of residence. Texas Government Code Chapter 552, the Texas Public Information Act, governs access to records held by covered public bodies, while Government Code §411.135 governs public dissemination of conviction and deferred-adjudication history by DPS. Those laws do not turn this private site into a government records custodian. Requests about data held here may include:
- Opting out of certain processing where applicable
- Requesting access to information held about you
- Seeking correction of inaccurate information
- Asking that eligible data be erased
Updates to This Policy
This policy may be revised as practices change. The replacement text will appear here with an updated effective date, so visitors should review the page from time to time.
