Information You Choose to Provide
Search Entries
When a visitor types a name, location, or other search term into a partner search box, that query is sent to the third-party provider that operates the tool. Gregg County Inmate Population does not keep its own stored log of those search terms.
Messages
If you send an email or other message, we may keep the information you provide long enough to read it, respond, and maintain ordinary records. We do not share message contents outside our organization unless a valid legal requirement applies.
Information Collected Automatically
Like most websites, this site may receive technical data when a page loads. That data can include:
- IP address.
- Browser name and version.
- Device type and operating system.
- Pages viewed and time spent on those pages.
- Referring website, when one is available.
- Date and time stamps.
Cookies
Cookies and similar tools may be used to understand site traffic and visitor behavior. You can block cookies in your browser settings, although some features or partner services may work differently if cookies are disabled.
How Information Is Used
- To keep the site available, usable, and reasonably fast.
- To send search requests to the correct partner provider when a visitor uses a partner tool.
- To understand which Gregg County jail, court, and facility pages are useful to readers.
- To detect errors, broken links, abuse, or technical problems.
- To display advertising that may be more relevant to visitor interests.
Links Away From This Site
Pages may link to sheriff pages, jail rosters, Texas court or public-record portals, TDCJ resources, BOP or ICE locators, and third-party search services. Once you leave this site, the privacy policy of the destination site controls how your information is collected and used.
Advertising partners may use their own systems to measure activity across websites and deliver interest-based ads. Those tracking practices are handled by the partner's technology, not by a Gregg County government office.
When Information May Be Shared
We do not sell personal information as a standalone product. Information may be available to limited service providers or authorities in these situations:
- Search partners that process a query submitted through their search tools.
- Analytics providers that help measure site usage.
- Advertising networks used to show 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 security measures for a public informational website. No website, email system, analytics tool, or ad system can be guaranteed completely secure, so we cannot promise that information transmitted online will be breach-proof.
Visitors Under 18
This site is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If a minor has submitted information, a parent or guardian may request deletion of that information.
Your Choices and Requests
- Ask for a copy of personal information we hold, if any.
- Ask us to correct information that is inaccurate.
- Ask for deletion of information that is no longer needed.
- Opt out of certain processing where applicable law gives that right.
Changes to This Notice
This privacy notice may be updated as the site, advertising tools, or partner services change. Revised terms will be posted on this page with a new effective date when needed.
