Privacy Policy

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

Data You Give Us Directly

Search Queries

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

Messages and Contact Submissions

An email sent to us may be retained so a response can be made. It stays within our organization unless disclosure is required by law.

Data We Gather Automatically

When a page loads, the server may automatically receive these technical details:

  • The IP address assigned to your device
  • Which browser you are using and its version
  • Your device type and operating system
  • The pages you visited and how long you stayed on each
  • The site that sent you here, if any
  • Timestamps for each page view

Cookies and Analytics

Cookies are small device files used to understand page traffic and navigation patterns. Analytics services combine those measurements. Browser controls can block cookies, although some functions may then work differently.

What We Do With This Data

  • Keeping the site up, running, and loading quickly
  • Sending your search requests to the right partner service
  • Figuring out which pages people find useful and which need work
  • Tracking down and fixing technical issues
  • Showing ads that may line up with your interests

No Criminal-Record Data on File

We do not maintain, assemble, or sell a database of personal criminal records. The site identifies where Callahan County files may be requested from the sheriff, local courts, Texas Department of Public Safety, and Texas Public Sex Offender Registry. It is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, and visitor data is not used to create consumer reports or third-party criminal profiles.

Third-Party Search Partners

Outside companies operate the search boxes. Their own privacy policies govern submitted information, retention, and sharing. We do not control those choices, so review the applicable partner policy before running a query.

Links to Other Websites

Links may lead to the Callahan County sheriff, courts, Texas agencies, legal resources, or outside search tools. Once you leave this site, the destination's privacy policy applies. Review it before providing personal information.

Advertising providers may use their own systems to track activity across websites and select ads.

Who Might See Your Data

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

  • Search partners that handle queries you run on our site
  • Analytics services we use to track traffic and performance
  • Ad networks that place ads on our pages
  • Law enforcement or government bodies when a valid legal order requires it

How We Protect Your Data

Standard safeguards are used for collected data, but no internet service is completely secure. We take reasonable steps without guaranteeing that a breach can never occur.

Users Under 18

This resource is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under 18. A known minor's data will be removed after notice.

Your Data Rights

Applicable Texas privacy and consumer-protection law, including the Texas Data Privacy and Security Act in Business and Commerce Code Chapter 541, may provide further rights. At a minimum, you may:

  • Ask for a copy of what we have on file about you
  • Have us fix information that is wrong
  • Request that we erase your data
  • Opt out of certain kinds of data processing

Updates to This Policy

This policy may be revised. A new version becomes available on this page with its current effective date.

Effective date: August 9, 2026
