Information You Provide
Search Terms
When you enter a name, county, state, or other search detail into a partner search box, that query is sent to the third-party provider that powers the tool. This site does not keep its own separate log of those search terms.
Messages
If you email us or submit a contact message, we use the information in that message to review and respond. We do not share contact messages outside the organization unless a valid legal requirement makes disclosure necessary.
Information Collected Automatically
Like most websites, this site may collect technical details when a page loads.
- IP address.
- Browser name and version.
- Device type and operating system.
- Pages viewed and approximate time spent on them.
- Referring website, when one is provided.
- Date and time stamps.
Cookies
Cookies may be used to understand site traffic and improve page performance. You can block or delete cookies through your browser settings, but some features or measurements may work differently after cookies are disabled.
How We Use Information
- Keep the website available, readable, and responsive.
- Send search requests to the correct partner service.
- Understand which Kaufman County jail, court, and locator pages visitors use most.
- Find technical problems and improve page reliability.
- Display advertising that may be based on general interests.
External Websites
This site links to sheriff pages, jail rosters, Texas court and corrections resources, federal locators, VINELink, and third-party search tools. Once you leave this site, the privacy policy of the destination site controls how your information is handled.
Advertising partners may use their own systems to measure activity across websites and deliver interest-based ads. That tracking is handled by those partners, not by a local Kaufman County government office.
Who May Receive Information
We do not sell personal information. Information may be provided to limited parties when needed to operate the site or comply with the law.
- Search partners that process submitted queries.
- Analytics providers that measure site use.
- Advertising networks that help support the site.
- Law-enforcement or government bodies when required by subpoena, court order, or another valid legal process.
Security
We use reasonable, standard safeguards for a public website. No internet-connected service can be guaranteed to be fully secure, so this notice does not promise breach-proof protection.
Visitors Under 18
This site is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 18. If a minor has submitted information, contact us so we can review and delete it where appropriate.
Your Choices
- Ask for a copy of personal information we maintain about you.
- Request correction of information that is inaccurate.
- Ask for deletion where retention is not required.
- Opt out of certain processing when applicable.
