Privacy Notice

This notice describes the data collected when someone uses Webb County Released Inmates, how that data supports the service, and when it may be shared. By continuing to use the site, a visitor accepts these practices. Outside services have separate policies.

Information You Submit

A name, location, or other term entered into a search box is sent to the third-party provider that operates that tool. We do not store or log those search terms on our systems. The provider’s own privacy terms govern its handling of the query.

If you email us or send a contact message, we retain the message and contact details as needed to respond. We do not share that correspondence outside the organization unless the law requires it.


Automatic Technical Data

Like most websites, our systems may receive routine technical details when a page loads:

  • IP address;
  • browser name and version;
  • device type and operating system;
  • pages visited and time spent;
  • referring page, when supplied; and
  • request timestamps.

Cookies help measure use and remember technical preferences. A browser can block them, though some site functions may then behave differently.


How Data Supports the Site

Collected data may be used to keep pages available and responsive, route a search to the correct partner, understand which Webb County release resources are useful, diagnose errors, prevent misuse, and display advertising that may reflect a visitor’s interests. We use data only for legitimate operating, security, communication, and measurement needs.


Websites Beyond Our Control

Links lead to Webb County offices, sheriff and corrections pages, court and government portals, federal locators, and third-party search tools. Once a visitor leaves this site, the destination’s privacy policy controls. We do not set its collection or retention practices.

Some advertising partners may measure activity across websites for tailored advertising. That processing occurs on their systems under their terms, not as a Webb County government function.


When Data May Be Shared

We do not sell personal information. Limited data may be provided to:

  • search partners that must process a submitted query;
  • analytics providers measuring site use;
  • advertising networks delivering or measuring ads; and
  • law-enforcement or government authorities acting under a valid legal order.

Security Is Best Effort

Reasonable administrative and technical practices are used to protect information. No internet-connected service, transmission, or storage method can be guaranteed breach-proof. Visitors should avoid sending sensitive identifiers that are not needed for a message.


Adults Only

This site is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under 18. A parent or guardian who believes a minor submitted information may use the Contact Us page to request review and deletion.


Your Privacy Choices

Subject to applicable law, a visitor may ask for a copy of personal data we hold, request correction of inaccurate data, seek deletion, or object to certain processing. Browser controls can also limit cookies, and advertising providers may offer their own opt-out controls.


Changes to This Notice

We may revise this privacy notice as services or legal requirements change. A new version takes effect when posted here with its updated effective date.
