Data You Give Us Directly
Search Queries
When a name or date is entered into a sponsored search box, the query goes to the outside provider that operates that tool. The provider processes the request under its own terms. We do not keep or log the search words on our own servers.
Messages and Contact Submissions
If you email us, we retain the message so we can answer it. We keep it within our organization and disclose it outside only when law requires.
Data We Gather Automatically
When a page loads, technical information may be recorded, such as:
- Your device’s IP address
- Browser type and version
- Device and operating system
- Pages viewed and time spent
- Referring site, when available
- Time of each page view
Cookies and Analytics
Cookies are small files stored by your browser. Analytics may use them to measure visits, popular pages, and where people leave the site. You can block cookies in browser settings, though some features may work differently.
What We Do With This Data
- Keep the site available and improve loading
- Send a search request to the provider operating that tool
- Learn which pages help readers and which need revision
- Find and repair technical problems
- Show advertising that may reflect browsing interests
No Warrant Data on File
We do not host, maintain, sell, or assemble a database of Wood County warrants or personal warrant histories. The site explains where to ask the Sheriff and the courts that keep official records. We are not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, and visitor data is not turned into consumer reports about other people.
Third-Party Search Partners
Search boxes are operated by outside companies. Information submitted through them is handled under the provider’s privacy policy, including its retention and sharing rules. We do not control those practices. Read the provider’s terms before sending a query.
Links to Other Websites
Links may lead to county, Sheriff, court, Texas agency, legal-aid, or sponsored-search pages. Once you leave this site, the destination’s policy applies. Review it before sharing personal details.
Advertising partners may track browsing across other sites for ad selection. That activity takes place on their systems.
Who Might See Your Data
We do not sell personal data. Information may be handled by:
- Search providers that receive queries entered into their tool
- Analytics services that measure traffic and performance
- Ad networks that place advertising
- Government or law-enforcement bodies when a valid legal order requires disclosure
How We Protect Your Data
We use standard security steps for the information we collect. Internet services cannot be made risk-free, so we cannot guarantee that a breach will never occur.
Users Under 18
This site is intended for adults, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If you believe a minor sent us data, contact us so we can review and remove it.
Your Data Rights
Texas Government Code Chapter 552, the Texas Public Information Act, governs access to records held by government bodies such as Wood County. It does not govern private records held by this site. You may still ask us to:
- Provide a copy of information we retain about you
- Correct a detail that is wrong
- Delete your message or other data we hold
- Stop certain processing where available
Official court-record requests should go to the office holding the file, under its applicable process.
Updates to This Policy
We may revise this policy. A new version will appear here with its updated date. Review it again if you want to see how information handling has changed.
Effective date: September 23, 2026
