Information You Submit
A name, location, or other term entered into a search box is sent to the outside provider that operates that tool. We do not store or log those search terms on this site's systems. The provider's own privacy terms govern its handling of a query.
If you send an email or contact-form message, we retain the information needed to read and answer it. We do not share the message outside the organization unless the law requires disclosure.
Technical Data Collected Automatically
Normal web operations can record basic details when a page loads:
- Internet Protocol address
- Browser name and version
- Device category and operating system
- Pages viewed and time spent
- Referring page or website, when available
- Date and time of the request
Cookies help measure how visitors use the site. Browser controls can block or remove cookies, though some features may then work differently.
How Information Is Used
Collected data supports a limited set of site functions:
- Operating the site and maintaining reasonable performance
- Passing search requests to the selected partner tool
- Understanding which guides are useful
- Diagnosing errors and security issues
- Displaying advertising that may reflect user interests
Links And Outside Services
Pages link to Borden County offices, TDCJ, release and court resources, federal locators, and third-party search tools. Once a visitor follows a link, the destination's privacy policy applies. We do not control that site or its data practices.
Advertising partners may use their own systems to measure activity across websites and select targeted ads. That tracking occurs under their policies, not as a Borden County government function or record.
Parties That May Receive Data
We do not sell personal information. Limited data may reach search partners that process a query, analytics vendors, advertising networks, or a law-enforcement or government body acting under a valid legal order.
Security Practices And Limits
Reasonable standard measures are used to protect information. No internet service, transmission method, or storage platform is fully secure. We therefore cannot promise that data will never be lost, misused, intercepted, or accessed without authority.
Visitors Under Eighteen
This site is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If a minor submitted information, use the Get in Touch page to request deletion.
Your Privacy Choices
Subject to applicable law and our ability to verify the request, a person may ask for a copy of personal data we hold, correction of inaccurate data, deletion, or an opt-out from certain processing. These choices do not alter records held by Borden County, TDCJ, a court, or another linked agency.
Changes To This Notice
This notice may be revised as site practices or legal duties change. The current version will be posted on this page with an updated effective date. Effective date: August 2, 2026.
