Information You Submit
A name, location, or other query entered into an embedded search box is sent directly to the third-party company that operates that tool. We do not store or log those search terms on our systems. The provider’s own privacy notice governs its collection and use.
If you send an email or contact message, we retain the information needed to read and answer it. We do not share the message outside our organization unless disclosure is required by law.
Automatic Technical Information
A page visit may generate technical data such as the IP address, browser and device type, operating system, referring page, pages viewed, and visit time. This information supports basic operation, security, traffic measurement, and site improvement.
Cookies and similar technologies may help measure use and remember site functions. Browser controls can refuse or remove cookies, although some features may then behave differently.
How Information Is Used
- Operate, maintain, and improve the site.
- Reply to messages and support requests.
- Understand general traffic and feature use.
- Detect misuse, fraud, or security threats.
- Meet legal duties and enforce site terms.
Privacy Beyond This Site
Links may lead to Martin County release records, sheriff and corrections pages, Texas government portals, or outside search services. Once you follow a link, that operator’s privacy practices apply.
Some advertising companies may use their own technologies to measure activity across different sites and select ads. That tracking occurs through their systems, not a database maintained by this site. Texas public records reached through links remain governed by the holding agency and applicable law, including the Texas Public Information Act.
Parties That May Receive Data
We do not sell personal information. Limited information may be available to:
- Search partners when a visitor submits a query to their tool.
- Analytics providers that measure site use.
- Advertising networks that deliver or assess ads.
- Service providers supporting hosting, security, or communications.
- Law enforcement, courts, or other authorities when a valid legal order requires disclosure.
Reasonable Security Measures
We use customary administrative and technical safeguards suited to the information handled. No internet transmission, connected system, or storage method is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee that a breach will never occur.
Visitors Under Eighteen
The site is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone younger than 18. A parent or guardian who believes a minor submitted information may use the Contacts page to request deletion.
Your Privacy Choices
Depending on applicable law, you may ask to access, correct, or delete personal information we hold about you, or object to certain processing. Browser settings can manage cookies, and advertising providers may offer separate opt-out tools. Submit a request through the Contacts page. We may need reasonable information to verify the requester and may retain data when law requires it.
Changes to This Notice
We may revise this notice as practices, services, or legal requirements change. An updated version becomes effective when posted here with its new effective date.
