Information You Choose to Send
Terms Entered in Search Tools
When a visitor types a name, place, or other term into a search box, that request goes to the third-party provider operating the tool. Foard County Released Inmates does not store or log those search terms on its own systems. The provider's policy and terms govern its handling after submission.
Email and Contact Messages
If you send an email or contact-form message, we retain the content and contact details needed to read and answer it. We do not share those messages outside the organization unless disclosure is required by law.
Technical Details Collected Automatically
Standard server, analytics, and advertising technologies may record basic technical information when a page loads. That information can include:
- The internet protocol address used for the request
- The browser name and version
- The device category and operating system
- Pages viewed and the time spent on them
- The referring website, when one is supplied
- The date and time of the request
Cookies and Similar Storage
Cookies help measure how visitors use the site and may support analytics or advertising functions. A browser can be set to block or delete cookies. Some tools or display choices may work differently when that storage is disabled.
Reasons the Information Is Used
Collected information supports operation, measurement, troubleshooting, and the partner services that appear on the site. It may be used to:
- Keep pages available, stable, and responsive
- Send a submitted query to the selected search partner
- Understand which Foard County resources visitors use
- Detect and correct technical errors
- Present advertising that may reflect a visitor's interests
Other Sites and Their Policies
Pages may link to Foard County release-record contacts, Sheriff and court pages, TDCJ systems, parole and probation resources, federal or immigration portals, and third-party search services. Once you follow an outside link, that site's privacy policy governs the information it receives.
Some advertising partners may use their own technologies to measure activity across websites and select interest-based ads. That cross-site processing occurs on the partner's systems, not on systems controlled by Foard County Released Inmates.
Parties That May Receive Data
We do not sell personal information. Depending on how a visitor uses the site, limited data may be handled by:
- Search partners that process submitted queries
- Analytics providers that measure site use
- Advertising networks that deliver or measure ads
- Law-enforcement agencies or other government bodies acting under a valid legal order
Security Has Practical Limits
We use standard, reasonable practices intended to protect information within our control. No website, network, storage service, or internet transmission is completely secure. We therefore cannot promise that data will never be accessed, lost, altered, or disclosed without authorization.
This Site Is for Adults
Foard County Released Inmates is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone younger than 18. If a parent or guardian believes a minor submitted personal information, contact us so the material can be reviewed and deleted.
Choices About Personal Data
Subject to applicable law and our ability to verify a request, a user may ask us to:
- Provide a copy of personal information we hold
- Correct inaccurate personal information
- Delete personal information where required or appropriate
- Stop certain forms of processing when an applicable right permits it
Changes to This Notice
This privacy notice may be revised as site practices, providers, or legal requirements change. A revised version will be posted on this page with a new effective date. Continued use after publication is subject to the updated notice.
Government records linked from this site are governed separately. In Texas, public access to existing government information is generally handled under the Texas Public Information Act, Government Code Chapter 552. That statute does not govern this private site's collection practices, but it explains the public-record framework behind many official links.
