Information You Submit
Terms Entered in Search
A name, location, or other term entered in a search box is sent to the independent provider that operates that tool. We do not store or log those search terms on our own systems. The provider’s policy controls its processing.
Messages Sent to Us
If you send an email or contact-form message, we retain the information needed to read and answer it. We do not share the message outside the organization unless disclosure is required by law.
Technical Data Collected Automatically
Routine server, analytics, and advertising systems may receive technical details when a page loads, including:
- Your Internet Protocol address.
- Browser name and version.
- Device category and operating system.
- Pages viewed and time spent on them.
- The referring website, when one is supplied.
- The date and time of the request.
Cookies and Similar Storage
Cookies help measure use, remember settings, and support site functions. You may block or delete them through your browser. Some features or partner tools may work differently when cookies are disabled.
Reasons We Use Data
Information is used for limited operating purposes:
- Keeping pages available and responsive.
- Sending a search request to the selected partner service.
- Understanding which Hardeman County resources visitors use.
- Detecting errors, abuse, and technical faults.
- Displaying advertising that may reflect general interests.
Other Websites and Advertising
Links may lead to the Hardeman County Sheriff, Texas corrections systems, federal locators, public-record portals, or independent search services. Once you leave, the destination’s own privacy terms govern its collection and use of information.
Advertising providers may use their systems to measure activity across different websites and select interest-based advertising. That tracking occurs under those providers’ controls, not as a Hardeman County government function.
Parties That May Receive Data
We do not sell personal information. Data may still be processed or disclosed to:
- Search partners that handle a submitted query.
- Analytics vendors that measure site performance.
- Advertising networks that deliver or evaluate ads.
- Law-enforcement agencies or other government bodies when a valid legal order requires disclosure.
Security Is Best Effort
Reasonable administrative and technical safeguards are used to protect information. No website, network, or storage system is fully secure, so we cannot promise that unauthorized access or a breach will never occur.
Adults Only
This site is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under 18. If a minor submitted information, use the Contact Us page to request its deletion.
Your Privacy Choices
Subject to applicable law and verification, you may:
- Ask for a copy of personal data we hold about you.
- Request correction of inaccurate information.
- Ask that eligible personal data be erased.
- Object to or opt out of certain processing where that right applies.
These rights concern data held by this private site. Official Texas records are controlled by the agency that created them and may be governed by the Texas Public Information Act, Government Code Chapter 552, court rules, retention duties, expunction law, or other legal limits.
Changes to This Notice
We may revise this privacy notice as practices or legal requirements change. A revised version takes effect when posted here with its new effective date.
