Information You Submit
Search Queries
When a visitor types a name, place, or other search term into a third-party search tool, that query is sent to the provider that operates the tool. Mitchell County Inmate Population does not store those search terms in its own local record system. The partner's privacy policy and terms apply to the search once it leaves this site.
Messages and Contact Submissions
If you email us or send a contact message, we may keep your name, address, email address, phone number, message text, and related details long enough to read, route, and answer the request. We do not share contact messages outside our organization unless needed to operate the site, respond to the message, protect the site, or comply with a valid legal demand.
Automatic Site Data
Like most websites, this site may collect basic technical data when pages load. That data helps measure performance, detect errors, and understand broad traffic patterns.
- IP address or approximate network location.
- Browser type, browser version, and language settings.
- Device type, screen data, and operating system.
- Pages viewed and time spent on those pages.
- Referring website or search source, if one is passed.
- Date and time stamps tied to page requests.
Cookies
Cookies and similar tools may be used to understand site use, remember limited preferences, support analytics, and help advertising partners measure or serve ads. You can block or delete cookies through your browser settings. Some site features or partner tools may work less smoothly if cookies are disabled.
How Data Is Used
Data is used for ordinary site operations and limited business purposes. We also use it to help route users toward the correct search tool or official Mitchell County record source.
- Keep the site available, readable, and reasonably fast.
- Send search requests to the partner service selected by the visitor.
- Learn which inmate, jail, court, and facility pages are useful.
- Find broken pages, errors, abuse, or other technical problems.
- Display ads or sponsored search options that may match visitor interests.
Outside Websites
This site links to sheriff pages, court offices, state correctional locators, federal custody tools, Texas Public Information Act resources under Texas Government Code Chapter 552, and third-party search providers. After you click a link, the destination site controls its own privacy practices, forms, logs, cookies, prices, and data use.
Advertising partners may also use their own cookies or tracking tools across websites. That activity happens on their systems and is governed by their policies, not this notice.
Who May Receive Data
We do not sell personal contact messages. Limited data may still be received by the parties that help run the site or respond to lawful demands.
- Search partners that process search terms entered into their tools.
- Analytics providers that measure page traffic and performance.
- Advertising networks that help display or measure ads.
- Law enforcement, courts, or government bodies when required by subpoena, court order, or other valid legal process.
Security Practices
We use reasonable administrative and technical measures to protect data handled through this site. No website, email system, search partner, or internet-connected service can be guaranteed breach-proof, so sensitive personal material should not be sent unless it is necessary for the purpose of the message.
Users Under 18
This site is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under 18. If a minor has submitted personal data, a parent or guardian may contact us and request deletion of the information we control.
Your Data Choices
Depending on your location and the data involved, you may be able to ask us to take certain steps with personal data we control.
- Request a copy of personal data held by us.
- Ask us to correct information that is wrong.
- Ask us to delete data when retention is not required.

This privacy notice may be revised as site features, partners, or legal requirements change. Updated terms will be posted on this page with a new effective date or other clear notice when appropriate.
