Privacy Policy

This policy describes the information collected during a visit, why it is used, and the limited situations in which another party may receive it. By continuing to use the website, you accept these privacy practices.

Data You Give Us Directly

Search Queries

A name or location entered in a search tool is sent directly to the outside provider operating that tool. The provider processes the request and supplies its results. We do not retain or log those search terms on our systems.

Messages and Contact Submissions

We retain an email or other direct message long enough to respond and manage the exchange. It remains within our organization unless disclosure is required by law.

Data We Gather Automatically

When a page loads, the servers may automatically receive these technical details:

  • The IP address assigned to your device
  • Which browser you are using and its version
  • Your device type and operating system
  • The pages you visited and how long you stayed on each
  • The site that sent you here, if any
  • Timestamps for each page view

Cookies and Analytics

Cookies are small files saved on a device. They and analytics services help aggregate traffic patterns, such as popular pages and points where visits end. You may block cookies through browser controls, although doing so can change how parts of the site work.

What We Do With This Data

  • Routing search requests to the selected partner service
  • Operating the site and maintaining reasonable load times
  • Finding technical faults and repairing them
  • Understanding which pages visitors use
  • 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. The site explains where Harrison County records are kept and how official documents may be requested from the sheriff, criminal courts, Texas Department of Public Safety Crime Records Division, and Texas Public Sex Offender Registry. Public-office disclosure is governed by the Texas Public Information Act, Government Code Chapter 552, and criminal-history dissemination by Government Code Chapter 411. We are not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, and visitor data is not assembled into consumer reports or dossiers about other people.

Third-Party Search Partners

Outside companies power the search boxes. Information submitted there is governed by the provider's privacy policy rather than this policy. Each provider controls its own retention and disclosure practices. Review those terms before running a search.

Links to Other Websites

Links may lead to courts, sheriff pages, state agencies, legal resources, or external search services. Once you leave this website, the destination's privacy terms apply. Read them before disclosing personal information.

Advertising partners may use their own systems to observe activity across websites and select targeted ads.

Who Might See Your Data

Personal data is not sold. Limited information may be available to:

  • Search partners that handle queries you run on our site
  • Analytics services we use to track traffic and performance
  • Ad networks that place ads on our pages
  • Law enforcement or government bodies when a valid legal order requires it

How We Protect Your Data

Standard safeguards are used for collected data, but no internet system can be guaranteed secure. We work to protect information without promising that a breach is impossible.

Users Under 18

The site is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under 18. If a minor's information is identified, it will be deleted after notice.

Your Data Rights

Applicable Texas consumer-protection law, including the Texas Deceptive Trade Practices Act in Business and Commerce Code Chapter 17, may provide additional rights depending on the facts and your residence. You may:

  • Ask for a copy of what we have on file about you
  • Have us fix information that is wrong
  • Request that we erase your data
  • Opt out of certain kinds of data processing

Updates to This Policy

This policy may be revised. The replacement version will appear here with a new effective date, so visitors should check it periodically.

Effective date: August 9, 2026
