Data You Give Us Directly
Search Queries
A name or place entered in a search tool is sent directly to the outside provider that operates that feature. The provider processes the query and supplies its own results. Grayson County Criminal History does not keep a local log of those search terms.
Messages and Contact Submissions
An email or direct message may be retained long enough to respond and maintain the related correspondence. It remains within the operating team unless disclosure is required by law.
Data We Gather Automatically
Ordinary server and analytics logs can receive technical details when a page loads:
- Page-view dates and times
- Visited pages and approximate time spent
- Browser name and version
- Device class and operating system
- Internet Protocol address
- Referring website, when one is supplied
Cookies and Analytics
Cookies are small files that help measure use, such as popular pages and common exit points. Analytics providers combine those signals into traffic reports. A browser can reject or remove cookies, although disabling them may change how some features behave.
What We Do With This Data
- Route a search request to the selected partner service
- Find and repair performance or technical problems
- Operate, secure, and improve page delivery
- Measure which material visitors use
- Display advertising that may reflect visitor interests
No Criminal-Record Data on File
Grayson County Criminal History does not build, keep, or sell a database of personal criminal records. Its editorial material identifies official sources such as Grayson County Sheriff Records, the County Clerk, the District Clerk, Texas DPS Crime Records Division, and the Texas Public Sex Offender Registry. Visitor data is not assembled into a consumer report or a third-party criminal record. This site is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act.
Third-Party Search Partners
Outside companies operate the embedded search tools. Their privacy policies, not this policy, control the information entered into those tools. Each partner chooses its own retention and disclosure practices. Review those terms before submitting a query.
Links to Other Websites
Links may lead to Grayson County offices, Texas agencies, court portals, legal resources, or private search services. Once a visitor leaves this website, the destination's policy governs the visit. Read that policy before providing personal data.
Advertising providers may use their own systems to recognize activity across websites and select ads. Their technology and policies control that tracking.
Who Might See Your Data
Personal data is not sold. Limited information may reach:
- Advertising networks that place ads
- Analytics vendors that measure traffic and performance
- Search partners chosen to process a query
- A court or government body acting under valid legal process
How We Protect Your Data
Reasonable administrative and technical measures are used to protect collected information. No internet service can promise perfect security, so the possibility of unauthorized access cannot be eliminated.
Users Under 18
The website is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from a person under 18. If such information is identified, a deletion request may be made.
Your Data Rights
Rights can vary with residence and applicable law. Texas public records are governed in part by the Texas Public Information Act, Government Code Chapter 552, while criminal-history dissemination is controlled by Government Code Chapter 411. Those government-record laws do not make this private site a public record custodian. Subject to applicable law, a visitor may:
- Request access to personal information held about them
- Seek correction of inaccurate personal information
- Ask for deletion where the law permits it
- Decline certain processing when an applicable rule provides that choice
Updates to This Policy
This policy may be revised as practices or legal duties change. A new version will appear here with its effective date, so visitors should review it from time to time.
Effective date: August 9, 2026
