Information You Submit
Search Terms
When a name, location, or other search detail is entered into a search tool, that query is sent to the third-party provider that operates the tool. Leon County Inmate Population does not keep its own copy of those search terms or maintain an internal search-log database.
Messages
If a visitor sends an email or contact message, the information in that message may be kept long enough to read, route, and answer it. Those messages are not shared outside the organization except when disclosure is required by law or a valid legal process.
Automatic Site Data
Like most websites, this site may collect basic technical details when pages load. The data helps measure site performance, find errors, and understand which Leon County inmate and court-record topics visitors use most.
- Internet Protocol address.
- Browser type and version.
- Device type and operating system.
- Pages viewed and time spent on pages.
- Referring website, when one is passed to the site.
- Date and time stamps.
Cookies
Cookies and similar tools may be used to measure traffic and improve the site experience. Browser settings can block or delete cookies, though some search, ad, or analytics features may work differently when cookies are disabled.
How Data Is Used
- To keep the site available, responsive, and secure.
- To send search requests to the correct partner service.
- To understand which pages and record topics are useful.
- To detect, troubleshoot, and repair technical issues.
- To display advertising that may be matched to visitor interests.
Outside Websites
This site links to sheriff, jail, clerk, court, corrections, VINELink, TDCJ, BOP, ICE, and third-party search resources. Once a visitor leaves this site, the privacy policy of the destination website controls that visit. Official public-record access in Texas may also be governed by laws such as Texas Government Code Chapter 552, but those public-agency rules do not control how private search partners handle their own services.
Advertising partners may use their own cookies or identifiers to measure ad views and show interest-based advertising across websites. That tracking happens on the partner's systems, not in a Leon County government database.
Who May Receive Data
Personal information is not sold as a standalone list. It may be available to limited service providers or authorities when needed for the site to operate or when disclosure is legally required.
- Search partners that process submitted queries.
- Analytics providers that measure traffic and errors.
- Advertising networks that serve or measure ads.
- Law enforcement, courts, or government bodies acting under a valid subpoena, court order, warrant, or similar legal demand.
Security Measures
Reasonable technical and administrative steps are used to protect information handled by this site. No internet-connected service can be guaranteed breach-proof, and no transmission method is completely secure.
