Privacy Policy

This policy describes the information collected during a visit, the reasons it may be used, and the limited circumstances in which another party may receive it. Continued use of Kerr County Criminal History indicates acceptance of these practices.

Data You Give Us Directly

Search Queries

A name or place 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 keep a separate log or stored copy of those terms.

Messages and Contact Submissions

An email or contact submission may be retained long enough to answer and maintain the exchange. It remains internal unless disclosure is required by a valid legal obligation.

Data We Gather Automatically

Page requests can automatically produce routine technical and usage information:

  • Page-view dates, times, and duration
  • Device category and operating system
  • Browser name and version
  • Internet Protocol address
  • Visited pages and referring site, when available

Cookies and Analytics

Cookies are small device files used to understand aggregate traffic, popular pages, and navigation patterns. Analytics providers help measure those patterns. A browser can reject cookies, although disabling them may change how some features behave.

What We Do With This Data

  • Routing a query to the selected search partner
  • Maintaining performance and site availability
  • Finding errors and resolving technical faults
  • Measuring which content visitors use
  • Presenting advertising that may reflect user interests

No Criminal-Record Data on File

Kerr County Criminal History does not maintain, assemble, or sell a database of personal criminal records. It explains access through the Kerr County Sheriff's Office, county courts, Texas Department of Public Safety Crime Records Division, and Texas Public Sex Offender Registry. Visitor data is not turned into a third-party dossier or consumer report, 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. Their privacy policies, retention rules, and disclosure practices govern information submitted to them. Review the applicable provider policy before running a query because those practices are beyond our control.

Links to Other Websites

Links may lead to Kerr County offices, Texas agencies, court portals, legal resources, or search services. Once a visitor leaves this site, the destination's policy controls. Read it before providing personal information.

Advertising providers may use their own systems to measure activity across websites and tailor ads.

Who Might See Your Data

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

  • Analytics providers measuring traffic and performance
  • Search providers processing a submitted query
  • Advertising networks serving site ads
  • Government or law-enforcement authorities acting under valid legal process

How We Protect Your Data

Reasonable security practices are used for collected information. No internet system can guarantee perfect protection, so a breach-free result cannot be promised.

Users Under 18

This resource is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under 18. A verified report that a minor supplied such data will be handled through deletion.

Your Data Rights

Applicable law may provide rights concerning personal data. The Texas Public Information Act, Government Code Chapter 552, governs public information held by Texas government bodies, not private website files. Texas Government Code Chapter 411 separately regulates dissemination of criminal-history record information. Subject to applicable law, a visitor may:

  • Request deletion of eligible personal data
  • Ask what personal information is retained
  • Seek correction of inaccurate personal data
  • Object to certain processing where a legal right applies

Updates to This Policy

This policy may be revised as practices or legal requirements change. A revision will appear here with its new effective date.

Effective date: August 9, 2026
