Privacy Notice

This notice describes information handled when someone uses Mitchell County Released Inmates, how that information supports the service, and the limited circumstances in which it may be shared. Continued use of the site means acceptance of these practices.

Information You Submit

Search Terms

A name, place, or other term entered into a search box is sent to the third-party provider that operates that tool. Mitchell County Released Inmates does not store or log those search terms on its own systems. The provider’s policy governs its handling of the query.

Messages

When you email or send a contact message, we retain the information needed to read and answer it. We do not share the message outside the organization unless disclosure is required by law.


Technical Data Collected Automatically

Standard server, analytics, and advertising systems may record technical details when a page loads.

  • Your Internet Protocol address.
  • Browser name and version.
  • Device type and operating system.
  • Pages viewed and time spent on them.
  • The referring page or site, when available.
  • Date and time stamps for requests.

Cookies

Cookies and similar browser storage help measure use and support site functions. You may block or remove cookies through browser settings, though some tools or preferences may work differently afterward.


How Information Is Used

Collected information supports ordinary operation and improvement of the service.

  • Keep pages available, stable, and responsive.
  • Send search requests to the selected partner service.
  • Understand which content visitors use.
  • Detect errors, abuse, and technical faults.
  • Display advertising that may reflect visitor interests.

External Sites and Tools

Links may lead to Mitchell County offices, Texas corrections resources, release-record portals, or third-party search tools. Once you leave this site, the destination’s privacy terms and data practices apply. We do not control those outside systems.

Some advertising partners may use their own cookies or similar technology to measure activity across websites and select targeted advertisements. That processing occurs on the partner’s systems, not ours.


When Data May Be Shared

We do not sell personal information. Data may be provided only as needed to the following recipients.

  • Search partners that receive and process submitted queries.
  • Analytics providers that measure site use.
  • Advertising networks that deliver and assess ads.
  • Law enforcement or another government body acting under a valid legal order.

Security Measures and Limits

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


Visitors Under Eighteen

This service is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If a parent or guardian believes a minor submitted information, use the contact route so the material can be located and deleted where applicable.


Your Privacy Choices

Subject to applicable law and the ability to verify the request, you may ask us to address information held directly by this site.

  • Request a copy of personal information we hold.
  • Ask that inaccurate information be corrected.
  • Request deletion of information where applicable.
  • Object to or opt out of certain processing.

Records held by the Mitchell County Sheriff, a court, TDCJ, or another government custodian must be addressed with that agency. This privacy notice does not alter rights or exceptions under the Texas Public Information Act, Government Code Chapter 552.


Changes to This Notice

Privacy practices may change as services, law, or technology develops. A revised notice will be posted here with an updated effective date. Continued use after posting is subject to the revised notice.
