Information You Provide
Partner Search Requests
A name or location entered into a search tool is sent to the third-party provider that operates that tool. Garza County Busted Mugshots does not retain or log the search terms on its own systems.
Messages to the Site
When a visitor emails us or sends a contact message, we keep the information needed to respond. We do not share those messages outside our organization unless disclosure is required by law.
Technical Data and Cookies
Like most websites, routine technical information may be collected when a page loads. It helps operate, secure, and understand the site.
- Internet protocol address
- Browser type and version
- Device type and operating system
- Pages viewed and time spent on them
- Referring website, when one is available
- Date and time of the visit
Cookie Controls
Cookies help measure how visitors use the site. Browser settings can block or remove cookies, although some features may work differently when cookies are disabled.
How We Use Data
Collected information is used for ordinary site operations and improvement.
- Maintain site performance and availability
- Send a search request to the relevant partner service
- Learn which record-reference pages are useful
- Identify and correct technical problems
- Display advertising that may reflect interests
Other Websites and Tools
The site links to official sheriff, jail, court, corrections, and locator resources, as well as third-party search tools. Once a visitor follows a link, that organization’s privacy policy and data practices apply. For example, a request governed by Texas Government Code Chapter 552 is handled through the public office’s own procedures, not through this site.
Advertising partners may collect activity across websites for interest-based advertising on their own systems. Their policies, controls, and retention practices are separate from ours.
When Data May Be Shared
We do not sell personal information. Limited data can be made available to the following parties when necessary for the stated purpose or when legally compelled:
- Search partners that process submitted queries
- Analytics services that measure site use
- Advertising networks that deliver ads
- Law-enforcement or government bodies responding to a valid legal order
Reasonable Safeguards
We use standard measures intended to protect information in our care. No internet-connected system is completely secure, so we cannot promise that a transmission or stored item will never be exposed.
Visitors Under 18
This site is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. A parent or guardian who believes a minor has sent us information may ask for its deletion through Contact Us.
Your Information Choices
Subject to applicable law, a visitor may contact us to:
- Ask for a copy of personal data we hold
- Correct inaccurate personal data
- Request deletion of personal data
- Opt out of certain processing where that option applies
