Information You Enter
Search Terms
When a name, location, or record detail is entered into a search tool, that query is sent to the third-party provider that operates the tool. Edwards County Inmate Population does not keep its own log of those search terms.
Messages
If a visitor sends an email or contact message, the submitted information may be kept long enough to review and respond. It is not shared outside the organization unless a legal requirement makes disclosure necessary.
Information Collected Automatically
Routine technical information may be collected when a page loads. That can include:
- Internet Protocol address.
- Browser type and browser version.
- Device category and operating system.
- Pages viewed and approximate time spent on each page.
- Referring website, when one is available.
- Date and time stamps.
Cookies
Cookies and similar tools help measure how visitors use the site and support basic advertising or analytics functions. Browser settings can block or delete cookies, although some features may behave differently when cookies are disabled.
How Information Is Used
- To keep pages available, working, and reasonably fast.
- To send search requests to the correct partner service.
- To understand which Edwards County jail, court, and locator pages are useful to visitors.
- To diagnose errors, broken links, and other technical problems.
- To display advertising that may be related to visitor interests.
Outside Websites
This site links to sheriff pages, jail rosters, TDCJ resources, federal and immigration locators, Texas public-records references, and third-party search tools. Once a visitor leaves this site, the destination site's own privacy terms control that visit.
Advertising partners may use their own systems to recognize visits across multiple websites and deliver interest-based ads. That tracking is handled on those partners' systems, not as an official Edwards County or Texas government function.
Who May Receive Information
Personal information is not sold as a standalone list. It may be handled by the following parties when needed to operate the site or comply with law:
- Search partners that process submitted lookup queries.
- Analytics providers that measure site traffic and errors.
- Advertising networks that deliver or measure ads.
- Law enforcement, courts, or government bodies when a valid legal order requires disclosure.
Security
Reasonable security practices are used to protect information handled by the site. No internet-connected service can be guaranteed completely secure, so this notice does not promise breach-proof storage or transmission.
Users Under 18
The site is intended for adults. It does not knowingly collect information from anyone under 18. If a minor has submitted information, a deletion request can be made so the issue can be reviewed.
Your Choices and Requests
- Request a copy of personal information held by the site.
- Ask that inaccurate information be corrected.
- Request deletion where applicable.
- Opt out of certain processing when the law provides that choice.
Policy Changes
This privacy notice may be revised as site features, Texas open-records references, search partners, or advertising services change. Updates will be posted on this page with the revised effective wording.
