Bowie County Privacy Notice

This notice describes the information collected when you use this private reference site, how that information may be used, and the choices available to you. By using the site, you accept these practices.

Information You Send

A name, location, or other term entered in a search box is sent to the third-party provider operating that search tool. We do not store those terms in a separate site-side search log. Messages sent through a contact method may be retained to answer the message and are not shared outside the organization unless law requires it.


Automatic Technical Data

Like most websites, the service may receive routine technical information when a page loads.

  • Internet protocol address
  • Browser type and version
  • Device and operating-system information
  • Pages viewed and time spent on them
  • Referring source, if provided
  • Request timestamps

Cookies help measure site use and maintain certain functions. A browser can block cookies, although some features may then work differently.


How Information Is Used

Technical and submitted information may be used to operate, maintain, and improve the service.

  • Keep pages available and responsive
  • Pass a search request to the selected partner service
  • Learn which record-path pages are useful
  • Find, investigate, and correct technical problems
  • Support advertising that may be based on interests

Links and Advertising Partners

The site links to government portals, jail rosters, court resources, corrections pages, and search providers. Their privacy practices govern after you leave this site. Advertising partners may measure activity across sites on their own systems for interest-based advertising.


Who May Receive Data

We do not sell personal information. Information may nonetheless be processed or disclosed to the following parties when needed for the stated purposes or required by law.

  • Search partners that process submitted queries
  • Analytics providers
  • Advertising networks
  • Government bodies or law enforcement responding to a valid legal order

Security Limits

Reasonable administrative and technical safeguards are used, but no internet-connected system can promise complete security. We cannot guarantee that a transmission or stored message will never be accessed, altered, or lost.


Visitors Under 18

This site is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from people under 18. If a minor has submitted personal data, contact us through the Get in Touch page so deletion can be considered.

Subject to applicable law, you may ask to review, correct, delete, or limit certain processing of personal information held by the site.

  • Request a copy of retained personal data
  • Ask to correct inaccurate contact information
  • Request deletion where retention is not required
  • Opt out of selected processing where that option applies
