Privacy Notice

This notice explains how this privately operated reference site handles information supplied through its features and how outside services may handle data after a visitor follows a link or uses a partner tool.

Information Provided Directly

A contact message may include the name, email address, and message content chosen by the sender. Search terms entered into a search widget are passed to the third-party provider that supplies that tool. Do not send sensitive legal, medical, or identity information through a general contact message.


Automatic Technical Data

Like most sites, this service and its providers may receive technical information such as browser type, device details, IP address, pages viewed, referring address, approximate location derived from an IP address, and time of visit. Cookies, pixels, or similar tools may be used to remember settings, measure traffic, deliver advertising, or support a search partner.


How Information Is Used

Information may be used to operate the site, respond to messages, maintain security, understand site use, troubleshoot problems, display or measure advertising, and improve the reference material. A search query is used by the outside search provider to return whatever results that provider makes available under its own terms.


Outside Links and Tools

Links lead to county, police, court, state, federal, news, and third-party resources. Those destinations have their own policies and are not controlled by this site. Review the destination's privacy notice before submitting a search, request, payment, or other information. A link to an official Gillespie County office does not make this private site part of that office.


Who May Receive Data

Information may be processed by service providers that host the site, supply analytics, display ads, support search functions, or handle communications. Information can also be disclosed when required by a valid legal order, to protect rights or safety, or in connection with a business transfer. We do not sell a contact message as a county record.


Security Practices

Reasonable safeguards are used, but no internet transmission or storage method is completely secure. Avoid sending confidential documents or financial information through a general site message. Contact the appropriate government office directly for official records and procedures.


Visitors Under 18

This reference site is not intended for children under 18, and it does not knowingly seek personal information from them. If a parent or guardian believes information from a child was provided, contact us so the request can be reviewed.


Your Information Choices

You may request access to, correction of, or deletion of contact information held by this site where applicable. Browser controls can limit cookies, although some features may not work as expected. Requests about an official jail, police, court, or correctional record must go to the government custodian, not to this site.


Changes to This Notice

This notice may be updated as site features or legal requirements change. The current version applies when posted. Continued use after an update means the visitor accepts the revised notice.
