Privacy Notice

This notice explains what information may be collected when someone uses Starr County Inmate Population, how that information is used, when it may be shared, and what choices may be available. Using the site means accepting these practices.

Information You Provide

Search Queries

Names, locations, or other terms entered into a search box may be sent to the third-party provider that operates that search tool. Starr County Inmate Population does not keep its own official jail roster and does not store those search terms as inmate records.

Messages

If a visitor sends an email or contact message, the information in that message may be kept long enough to read, route, and answer it. Messages are not shared outside the organization except when a valid legal obligation requires it.


Automatic Technical Data

Routine technical data may be collected when pages load so the site can function, measure usage, and troubleshoot problems.

  • IP address.
  • Browser type and version.
  • Device type and operating system.
  • Pages viewed and time spent on pages.
  • Referring site, if one is passed.
  • Date and time stamps.

Cookies

Cookies and similar tools may be used for analytics, advertising, and basic site operation. Browser settings can block or delete cookies, though some features may work differently when cookies are disabled.


How Data Is Used

  • Keep pages available and loading properly.
  • Route search requests to the correct partner tool.
  • Understand which Starr County custody topics are most useful.
  • Find broken pages, slow loads, and technical errors.
  • Show advertising that may be based on browsing signals.

Outside Links and Ads

The site links to sheriff pages, court resources, TDCJ, federal locators, ICE, VINELink, and third-party search services. After a visitor leaves this site, the destination site's privacy policy and terms govern that activity.

Advertising partners may use their own cookies or similar tools to measure ads or show interest-based advertising across websites. Those systems are controlled by the ad partner, not by Starr County Inmate Population.


Who May Receive Data

Personal information is not sold as an inmate record or booking record. It may be available to limited service providers or authorities in these situations.

  • Search partners that process query submissions.
  • Analytics providers that measure page use.
  • Advertising networks that serve or measure ads.
  • Law enforcement, courts, or government bodies when required by a valid legal order.

Security Practices

Reasonable safeguards are used for the site and its systems, but no internet-connected service can be promised to be fully secure. Transmission or storage of data is therefore at the user's own risk.


Users Under 18

This site is intended for adults. It does not knowingly collect information from anyone under 18. If a minor has sent personal information, a deletion request can be made through the contact route.


Your Data Rights

  • Ask what personal information is held, if any.
  • Request correction of inaccurate information provided to this site.
  • Ask for deletion when retention is no longer needed.
  • Opt out of certain processing where the law gives that right.

Policy Updates

This notice may be updated as site operations, partners, or legal duties change. Updates will be posted on this page with the revised text.
