Data You Give Us Directly
Search Queries
A name or location entered into a search tool is sent directly to the third-party company that operates that tool. The provider processes the request and supplies its results under its own terms. We do not keep a site-side log of those search words.
Messages and Contact Submissions
When you email us, the message may be retained long enough to respond and maintain the related correspondence. It is not shared outside our organization unless disclosure is required by law.
Data We Gather Automatically
Our systems receive basic technical details as pages load. Those details can include:
- Page-view dates and times
- Your device's assigned IP address
- The referring site, when one is reported
- Browser name and version
- Operating system and device type
- Pages viewed and approximate time spent on them
Cookies and Analytics
Cookies are small files placed on a device. We use them with analytics services to understand site traffic, popular pages, and where visits end. Browser controls can block or remove cookies, although some site functions may then work differently.
What We Do With This Data
- Diagnosing errors and other technical problems
- Operating the site and improving load performance
- Measuring which pages visitors use
- Routing a search to the provider selected by the visitor
- Displaying advertising that may reflect visitor interests
No Criminal-Record Data on File
We do not maintain, compile, or sell a database of personal criminal records. Edwards County material here identifies how to reach the sheriff, the combined clerk, the Texas Department of Public Safety Crime Records Division, and the Texas Public Sex Offender Registry. Visitor information is not assembled into a third-party dossier or consumer report. This site is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act.
Third-Party Search Partners
Outside companies operate the search boxes. Their privacy policies, not this policy, control information entered into those tools. Each provider decides how long it keeps data and when it shares data. Review those terms before sending a query.
Links to Other Websites
Links may lead to Edwards County offices, Texas agencies, court portals, or outside search services. Once you leave this site, the destination's privacy policy applies. Read it before providing personal details.
Advertising companies may use their own systems to measure activity across websites and select ads. Their tracking is governed by their policies.
Who Might See Your Data
Personal data is not sold. Information may be received by:
- Analytics providers measuring traffic and performance
- Search partners handling a query you choose to 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, standard safeguards are used for information within our control. No internet service can guarantee perfect security, so we cannot promise that unauthorized access will never occur.
Users Under 18
This service is intended for adults, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from a person under 18. If such information is identified, we will take reasonable steps to delete it.
Your Data Rights
Rights may vary based on where you live and which law applies. Texas Government Code Chapter 552 governs access to records held by Texas public bodies, while Government Code Chapter 411 limits dissemination of criminal-history record information. Those laws govern official records and do not turn this private site into a government custodian. For information held by us, you may:
- Ask to opt out of certain processing
- Request correction of inaccurate information
- Ask what information we hold about you
- Request deletion where the law permits it
Updates to This Policy
This policy may be revised as site practices or legal duties change. A revision takes effect when the updated text and date appear here.
Effective date: August 9, 2026
