Privacy Policy

This policy describes the visitor information Haskell County Criminal History may receive, why it is used, and the limited circumstances in which another party may process it. Continued use of the website indicates acceptance of these practices.

Data You Give Us Directly

Search Queries

A query entered in a search box is sent to the outside company operating that tool. The provider processes the name or location and supplies its results. We do not keep a separate log of those search terms.

Messages and Contact Submissions

If you email us, the message may be retained long enough to answer and administer the correspondence. It is not shared outside the organization unless disclosure is legally required.

Data We Gather Automatically

Normal server and analytics logs may collect technical information when a page loads:

  • Device IP address
  • Browser name and version
  • Operating system and device category
  • Pages viewed and time spent
  • Referring site, when supplied
  • Date and time of each request

Cookies and Analytics

Cookies are small device files that help measure traffic, popular pages, and where visits end. Analytics services combine that activity into usage reports. A browser can refuse cookies, although parts of the site may then work differently.

What We Do With This Data

  • Operate pages and maintain reliable load times
  • Route a voluntary search to the selected partner
  • Measure which reference pages readers use
  • Detect and correct technical faults
  • Support advertising that may reflect visitor interests

No Criminal-Record Data on File

We do not host, compile, or sell a database of personal criminal records. Haskell County material remains with the sheriff, District Clerk, County Clerk, Texas Department of Public Safety Crime Records Division, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, and Texas Public Sex Offender Registry. Government access is controlled by the Texas Public Information Act and the criminal-history dissemination limits in Texas Government Code Chapter 411. Visitor information is not assembled into a consumer report. This website is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act.

Third-Party Search Partners

Outside companies provide the search boxes. Their own privacy terms control any information submitted to them, along with their retention and disclosure practices. Read the provider's policy before running a query because we cannot direct how that company processes its data.

Links to Other Websites

Links may lead to Haskell County offices, Texas courts, DPS, TDCJ, registry resources, or outside search services. Once a visitor leaves this website, the destination's privacy policy applies. Review it before sending personal information.

Advertising providers may use their own systems to measure activity across websites and choose targeted ads.

Who Might See Your Data

Personal information is not sold. Limited information may be processed by:

  • Analytics vendors measuring website performance
  • Search partners receiving a query the visitor submits
  • Advertising networks placing ads
  • Government or law-enforcement bodies acting under a valid legal demand

How We Protect Your Data

Reasonable, commonly used security controls protect the information handled by this site. No internet service can promise perfect security, so a breach or unauthorized access cannot be ruled out.

Users Under 18

The website is intended for adults. We do not knowingly seek personal information from a person under 18. If such information is identified, it will be removed after notice and reasonable verification.

Your Data Rights

Applicable law, including the Texas Data Privacy and Security Act, Business and Commerce Code Chapter 541, may provide rights concerning personal data. Subject to legal limits, a visitor may:

  • Ask what personal data is held
  • Request correction of inaccurate information
  • Seek deletion of covered personal data
  • Opt out of specified processing when the law provides that choice

Updates to This Policy

We may revise this policy as practices or legal duties change. A revised version will appear here, and the date below will show when it became effective.

Effective date: August 9, 2026
