Privacy Policy

This policy describes the information collected during a visit, why it is used, and the limited circumstances in which another party may receive it. By using the website, you accept these data practices.

Data You Give Us Directly

Search Queries

A name or location entered in a search tool is sent directly to the outside provider operating that tool. The provider processes the query and supplies its results. We do not retain or log those search terms on our systems.

Messages and Contact Submissions

An email sent to us may be kept as needed to prepare a response. We keep the message within our organization unless disclosure is required by law.

Data We Gather Automatically

When a page loads, servers may automatically record these technical details:

  • Page-view dates and times
  • Your device's IP address
  • Browser name and version
  • Device category and operating system
  • Visited pages and approximate time spent
  • Any referring website

Cookies and Analytics

Cookies are small device files that help measure traffic patterns, including popular pages and exit points. Analytics services combine this usage information. Browser controls can block cookies, although doing so may change how some site functions behave.

What We Do With This Data

  • Routing a submitted search to the selected provider
  • Maintaining site availability and performance
  • Finding and correcting technical faults
  • Understanding which pages serve visitors well
  • Displaying advertising that may reflect inferred interests

No Criminal-Record Data on File

We neither maintain nor sell a database of personal criminal records. Published material identifies how to request Fisher County records from the sheriff and court clerks or use the Texas Department of Public Safety and Texas Public Sex Offender Registry. We are not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, and visitor data is not assembled into consumer reports or third-party criminal profiles.

Third-Party Search Partners

Outside companies operate the site's search boxes. Their own privacy terms govern anything entered there, including retention and disclosure practices beyond our control. Review the applicable provider policy before submitting information.

Links to Other Websites

Links may lead to Fisher County offices, Texas agencies, courts, legal resources, and third-party tools. Once a visitor follows an external link, that destination's privacy policy applies. Check it before providing personal information.

Advertising providers may use their own systems to track activity across websites for targeted advertising. We do not operate that tracking.

Who Might See Your Data

Personal data is not sold. Limited information may be available to:

  • Analytics vendors measuring use and performance
  • Search providers processing submitted queries
  • Advertising networks serving ads
  • Government or law-enforcement bodies acting under a valid legal demand

How We Protect Your Data

Reasonable, commonly used safeguards protect collected data. No internet system is completely secure, however, so we cannot guarantee that unauthorized access will never occur.

Users Under 18

The website is intended for adults, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone younger than 18. If such data is identified, we will remove it.

Your Data Rights

Rights vary with the governing law. Texas Government Code Chapter 552 governs access to public records held by covered government bodies, while Government Code Chapter 411 limits dissemination of criminal-history information. Those laws do not convert this private site into a public-record custodian. For personal data actually held by us, you may:

  • Request access to data held about you
  • Ask that inaccurate information be corrected
  • Seek deletion where the law permits
  • Opt out of qualifying forms of data processing

Updates to This Policy

This privacy policy may be revised. A changed version becomes available on this page and carries a new effective date.

Effective date: August 9, 2026
