Data You Give Us Directly
Search Queries
A query entered in a sponsored search box is sent to the outside company that operates that tool. That provider processes the terms and supplies its results under its own policy. Crosby County Criminal History does not keep a local log of the names or locations typed into those boxes.
Messages and Contact Submissions
If you send a message by an available contact method, the message and return details may be retained long enough to answer and maintain the correspondence. They are not shared outside the organization unless disclosure is required by law.
Data We Gather Automatically
Ordinary server and analytics logs may receive technical facts when a page loads:
- Internet Protocol address and visit timestamp
- Browser, operating system, and device type
- Pages viewed and time spent on them
- Referring site, when the browser supplies it
- Basic error and performance information
Cookies and Analytics
Cookies and similar tools can help measure traffic, remember technical preferences, and show how visitors move through the site. Analytics services may combine those events into reports. Browser controls can block or remove cookies, though some functions may then work differently.
What We Do With This Data
Collected technical or submitted information may be used to:
- Operate, secure, and troubleshoot the website
- Route a sponsored query to the service that handles it
- Measure which pages and features are useful
- Respond to a message that a visitor sends
- Support advertising and site performance analysis
No Criminal-Record Data on File
Crosby County Criminal History does not create, maintain, compile, or sell a database of personal criminal records. Its content describes official access through the Crosby County Sheriff, County Clerk, District Clerk, Texas Department of Public Safety Crime Records Division, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, and Texas Public Sex Offender Registry. Visitor information is not assembled into a consumer report. This site is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act.
Third-Party Search Partners
Outside companies operate the sponsored search tools. Information submitted to a tool is subject to that company's privacy terms, retention rules, and disclosure practices. Those practices are not controlled by this policy. Review the provider's notice before running a query.
Links to Other Websites
Links may lead to Crosby County offices, Texas agencies, courts, official databases, and independent services. Once a visitor follows an outside link, the destination's terms and privacy policy apply. Advertising providers may also use their own technology to measure activity or select ads on their systems.
Who Might See Your Data
Personal data is not sold. Limited information may be available to:
- Search providers that receive a query submitted to their tool
- Analytics and hosting services supporting traffic and performance
- Advertising services placing or measuring ads
- Government or law-enforcement bodies when valid legal process compels disclosure
How We Protect Your Data
Reasonable administrative and technical safeguards are used for information under the site's control. No internet service can promise perfect security, uninterrupted operation, or complete protection from every incident. Data should be shared with that limit in mind.
Users Under 18
The website is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from children. If information from a person under 18 is identified, it may be removed when a valid request provides enough detail to locate it.
Your Data Rights
Rights can vary with residence and the law that applies. Texas Government Code Chapter 552, the Texas Public Information Act, governs records held by Texas government bodies rather than visitor data held by this private site. Government Code Chapter 411 separately restricts dissemination of Texas criminal-history information. Subject to applicable law and the ability to verify and locate a request, a visitor may ask to:
- Learn what personal information is held about the visitor
- Correct inaccurate submitted information
- Request deletion of eligible personal data
- Object to or opt out of certain processing where the law provides that choice
Updates to This Policy
This policy may change as site practices or legal requirements change. The revised text and a new effective date will appear here. Continued use after an update is subject to the version then posted.
