Privacy Notice

This notice explains what information may be collected when you visit this Runnels County resource, how that information is used, and when it may be shared. By continuing to use the site, you accept the practices described below.

Information You Choose to Submit

Entries in the Search Tool

When you enter a name or location in a search tool, that entry is transmitted to the third-party provider operating the tool. Runnels County Released Inmates does not retain or log those search terms on its own systems.

Correspondence

If you send an email or use a contact form, the message and the contact details you provide are kept as needed to respond. They are not shared outside the organization unless disclosure is required by law.


Technical Details Collected During a Visit

As pages load, web systems may automatically record routine technical and usage information, including:

  • Your internet protocol address
  • The browser name and version in use
  • Your device category and operating system
  • Pages opened and the time spent on them
  • The referring website, when one is available
  • The date and time associated with each request

Cookie Use

Cookies help show how visitors move through and use the site. You may block cookies through your browser settings, although disabling them can cause some functions to behave differently.


Reasons We Use Information

  • Operate the site reliably and maintain its performance
  • Send search requests to the appropriate partner service

Government Resources and Other External Sites

Links may lead to Runnels County release records, sheriff or corrections resources, Texas government portals, and independent search tools. Once you leave this site, the destination's own privacy terms control its collection and use of information, including information available under the Texas Public Information Act, Government Code Chapter 552.

Certain advertising providers may use their own technology to recognize activity across multiple websites and tailor advertising. That tracking occurs on their systems, not on systems operated by this site.

  • Search partners that process submitted queries
  • Services that measure site traffic and usage
  • Advertising networks that deliver ads
  • Law enforcement agencies or other government bodies acting under a valid legal order

Safeguarding Information

Standard administrative and technical security practices are used to protect information. No website or internet-connected system can be guaranteed completely secure, however, so we cannot promise that a breach will never occur.
