Privacy Policy

This policy describes the information collected during a visit to Nueces County Criminal History, the reasons it is used, and the circumstances in which a service provider or another party may receive it. The policy also explains the treatment of search queries, cookies, messages, and technical visit data. By continuing to use this privately operated website, a visitor accepts the practices stated below.

Data You Give Us Directly

Search Queries

A name or location entered in a search box is transmitted directly to the outside company that operates that tool. The provider processes the query and supplies its results. We do not keep or log those search terms on our systems.

Messages and Contact Submissions

An email or contact message may be retained so our team can respond. We do not disclose that correspondence outside the organization unless the law requires us to do so.

Data We Gather Automatically

When a page loads, the servers automatically receive limited technical and usage details:

  • Page-view timestamps
  • The referring website, when available
  • Pages viewed and time spent on them
  • Device type and operating system
  • Browser name and version
  • The device's assigned IP address

Cookies and Analytics

Cookies are small files stored on a device. We use them with analytics services to understand site traffic, including popular pages and points where visits end. A browser can block cookies, though doing so may cause some site functions to behave differently.

What We Do With This Data

  • Route a search query to the selected outside provider
  • Maintain site availability and performance
  • Find and repair technical problems
  • Measure which pages are useful or need improvement
  • Display advertising that may reflect visitor interests

No Criminal-Record Data on File

We do not maintain, assemble, or sell a database of personal criminal records. The site explains how to reach custodians of Nueces County information, including the Sheriff's Office, District Clerk, Texas Department of Public Safety Crime Records Service, and Texas Public Sex Offender Registry. We are not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act. Visitor data is not compiled into a consumer report or a record about another person.

Third-Party Search Partners

Outside companies power the search boxes. A partner's privacy policy, retention rules, and sharing practices govern information submitted to its tool, and we do not control those terms. Review that policy before running a search.

Links to Other Websites

Links may lead to Nueces County offices, Texas agencies, courts, legal resources, or outside search tools. Once a visitor leaves this site, the destination's privacy rules govern the visit. Those rules should be reviewed before personal information is submitted.

Some advertising providers may track activity across websites for targeted advertising. That activity occurs on their systems rather than ours.

Who Might See Your Data

Personal data is not sold. Limited information may be received by:

  • Analytics providers that measure traffic and performance
  • Search partners that process a submitted query
  • Advertising networks that serve ads
  • A government or law-enforcement body acting under a valid legal order

How We Protect Your Data

We use standard safeguards for information within our control. No internet system can be guaranteed secure, however, so we cannot promise that a breach will never occur.

Users Under 18

The site is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If we learn that a minor provided such information, we will delete it.

Your Data Rights

Applicable Texas privacy and consumer-protection law may provide additional rights. The Texas Public Information Act, Government Code Chapter 552, governs access to records held by Texas governmental bodies, while Government Code Sections 411.083 and 411.135 govern dissemination of computerized criminal history. Those public-record laws do not make this private site a government custodian. Subject to applicable law, a visitor can:

  • Opt out of certain processing
  • Request deletion of personal information
  • Ask that inaccurate information be corrected
  • Request a copy of personal information we hold

Updates to This Policy

This policy may be revised. Any revision will be posted here with a new effective date, and continued site use will be subject to the posted version.

Effective date: August 9, 2026
