Data You Give Us Directly
Search Queries
A name or place entered into a search tool is transmitted to the outside company that operates that tool. The provider processes the query and supplies its results. This site does not retain or log those search terms.
Messages and Contact Submissions
An email message may be retained as needed to prepare and preserve a response. It is kept within the site team unless disclosure is required by law.
Data We Gather Automatically
Our servers automatically receive basic technical information when a page loads:
- Page-view times and the pages visited
- Browser name and version
- Device category and operating system
- Visit duration for individual pages
- A referring site, when available
- The device's assigned IP address
Cookies and Analytics
Small cookie files help measure traffic patterns, including popular pages and common exit points. Analytics providers combine that usage information for reporting. Cookies can be blocked through browser controls, although doing so may change how some site features work.
What We Do With This Data
- Routing a query to the selected search partner
- Diagnosing errors and other technical problems
- Maintaining site availability and performance
- Measuring which pages visitors use
- Displaying advertising that may reflect visitor interests
No Criminal-Record Data on File
This site does not compile, maintain, or sell a database of personal criminal records. It explains how to seek Armstrong County material from the Armstrong County Sheriff, the combined County and District Clerk, the Texas Department of Public Safety, and the Texas Public Sex Offender Registry. Visitor data is not assembled into third-party dossiers or consumer reports, and this site is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act.
Third-Party Search Partners
Outside companies operate the search boxes shown on this site. Their privacy policies, retention periods, and disclosure practices govern information entered there, and this site does not control those terms. Review the applicable provider policy before sending a query.
Links to Other Websites
Links may lead to sheriff pages, court portals, Texas agency sites, legal-aid resources, or outside search tools. Once a visitor follows such a link, the destination's policy applies. Read that policy before providing personal information.
Some advertising providers may use their own systems to observe activity across websites and select targeted ads.
Who Might See Your Data
Personal data is not sold. Limited information may be received by:
- Analytics providers measuring traffic and performance
- Search partners processing a submitted query
- Government or law-enforcement bodies acting under a valid legal order
- Advertising networks placing ads on site pages
How We Protect Your Data
Standard safeguards are used for collected data, but an internet-connected service cannot guarantee absolute security. Reasonable steps reduce risk without eliminating the possibility of unauthorized access.
