Privacy Notice

This notice describes the information handled when you use this private Hidalgo County reference site, why it is used, and the limited circumstances in which it may be shared. By continuing to use the site, you accept these practices.

Information You Provide

Search Entries

When you type a name or location into a search tool, that query is transmitted to the independent provider that operates the tool. The site does not keep or log those search terms on its own systems.

Messages

If you send a message or other contact submission, we retain the information needed to read and respond to it. It is not shared outside the organization except when disclosure is legally required.


Automatically Collected Details

Like many websites, the site and its service providers may receive ordinary technical information when a page loads, including:

  • Internet protocol address;
  • browser type and version;
  • device type and operating system;
  • pages viewed and time spent on them;
  • the referring page or website, when available; and
  • access dates and timestamps.

Cookies

Cookies and similar tools help measure how visitors use the site. You can block or remove cookies through browser settings, although some functions may then work differently.


How Information Is Used

  • To operate, maintain, and improve the site;
  • to send a search request to the provider selected by the visitor;
  • to understand which reference pages visitors find useful;
  • to detect, investigate, and correct technical problems; and
  • to support advertising that may be tailored to general interests.

External Sites and Advertising

Links on this site may open official jail and court portals, Sheriff’s Office or corrections pages, public-information resources, and third-party search tools. Once you leave this site, the privacy notice of the destination controls its handling of your information.

Advertising providers may collect information across websites for interest-based advertising on their own systems. Their practices are governed by their own notices and controls.


When Data May Be Shared

We do not sell personal information. Limited information may be handled by the following parties when needed for the purposes described above:

  • Search partners that process a submitted query;
  • analytics providers;
  • advertising networks; and
  • law-enforcement agencies or government bodies responding to a valid legal order.

Security Measures

We use reasonable administrative and technical safeguards intended to protect information. No internet-connected service can promise complete security, so we cannot guarantee that data will never be accessed, altered, or lost.


Visitors Under 18

This site is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If you believe a minor submitted information, use Get in Touch so it can be reviewed for deletion.
