Data You Give Us Directly
Search Queries
A name or place entered in a search tool goes to the outside provider that powers the tool. That provider processes the query and returns its results. Limestone County Criminal History does not keep or log those search terms on its own systems.
Messages and Contact Submissions
An email sent to the site may be retained long enough to review and answer it. Messages are not shared outside the organization unless disclosure is required by law.
Data We Gather Automatically
Routine server logs may collect technical details when a page loads:
- Device IP address
- Browser name and version
- Operating system and device type
- Pages viewed and time spent
- Referring website, when available
- Date and time of each request
Cookies and Analytics
Cookies and analytics tools help measure traffic, page use, and technical performance. A browser can block or remove cookies, although parts of the site may then work differently.
What We Do With This Data
- Operate and secure the website
- Route a search to the selected outside provider
- Measure which pages visitors use
- Diagnose errors and performance problems
- Display advertising that may reflect visitor interests
No Criminal-Record Data on File
The site does not maintain, compile, or sell a database of personal criminal records. It describes how Limestone County records may be obtained from the Sheriff, the county courts, the Texas Department of Public Safety Crime Records Division, and the Texas Public Sex Offender Registry. Visitor data is not assembled into a consumer report. The site is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act.
Third-Party Search Partners
Outside companies power the search boxes. Information entered there is governed by the provider's own privacy policy, retention rules, and sharing practices. Review those terms before submitting a query because this policy does not control an outside provider.
Links to Other Websites
Links may lead to Limestone County offices, Texas agencies, court systems, legal resources, and outside search tools. The destination's privacy policy applies after a visitor leaves this site. Advertising partners may also use their own systems to measure activity across websites.
Who Might See Your Data
Personal data is not sold. Limited information may be handled by:
- Search providers that process a visitor's query
- Analytics vendors that measure site traffic
- Advertising networks that place or measure ads
- Government or law-enforcement bodies responding to valid legal process
How We Protect Your Data
Reasonable technical and organizational safeguards are used for data under the site's control. No internet system can be guaranteed free from intrusion, loss, or misuse, so absolute security cannot be promised.
Users Under 18
The website is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. A request to remove information submitted by a minor will be reviewed promptly.
Your Data Rights
Rights depend on the law that applies to the visitor and the data. Texas public criminal-history access is separately limited by Government Code Chapter 411, while requests made to government offices follow the Texas Public Information Act. Subject to applicable privacy and consumer-protection law, a visitor may ask to:
- Receive a copy of personal data held by the site
- Correct inaccurate personal data
- Delete personal data when the law permits
- Opt out of processing where an applicable law provides that choice
