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.
