Data You Give Us Directly
Search Queries
A name or place entered in a search tool is sent directly to the outside company operating that tool. The provider processes the query and supplies its own response. Kleberg County Criminal History does not keep or log those search terms on its systems.
Messages and Contact Submissions
An email or other direct message may be retained long enough to review and answer it. The message is not shared outside the operating team unless disclosure is required by law.
Data We Gather Automatically
Basic technical details may be collected automatically when a page loads:
- Page-view dates and times
- Device type and operating system
- Browser name and version
- Referring website, when supplied
- Pages opened and time spent on them
- The device's assigned IP address
Cookies and Analytics
Cookies are small device files used to understand traffic, including popular pages and common exit points. Analytics providers may combine visits into performance reports. A browser can block cookies, though some site functions may then behave differently.
What We Do With This Data
- Routing a submitted query to the selected search partner
- Finding and correcting technical faults
- Maintaining site speed and availability
- Measuring which pages are useful or need improvement
- Displaying advertising that may reflect user interests
No Criminal-Record Data on File
Kleberg County Criminal History does not keep, combine, or sell a database of personal criminal records. Its published material identifies official routes such as the Kleberg County Sheriff's Office, the County and District Clerks, the Texas Department of Public Safety, and the Texas Public Sex Offender Registry. Visitor information is not assembled into reports about other people, and this site is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act.
Third-Party Search Partners
Outside companies power the search boxes. Information submitted there is handled under that provider's privacy terms, retention rules, and sharing practices rather than this policy. Review those terms before running a query because this site does not control them.
Links to Other Websites
Links may lead to county offices, Texas agencies, courts, legal resources, or outside tools. Once a visitor leaves this site, the destination's policy applies. Read it before providing personal information.
Advertising companies may use their own systems to recognize activity across websites and select targeted ads.
Who Might See Your Data
Personal data is not sold. It may be available to a limited set of recipients:
- Analytics providers measuring site use and performance
- Advertising networks placing ads on pages
- Search partners receiving a query sent through their tool
- Government or law-enforcement bodies acting under a valid legal demand
How We Protect Your Data
Reasonable, standard safeguards are used for collected information. No internet service can guarantee perfect security, so protection efforts cannot rule out every loss, breach, or unauthorized access.
Users Under 18
This website is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone younger than 18. A verified request concerning a minor's submitted data will be addressed through deletion where appropriate.
Your Data Rights
Where applicable, the Texas Data Privacy and Security Act in Business & Commerce Code Chapter 541 and the Texas Deceptive Trade Practices Act in Chapter 17 may provide rights or remedies concerning personal data and consumer practices. Texas Government Code Chapters 411 and 552 govern official criminal-history dissemination and public-information access, not this site's private visitor data. A user may ask to:
- Correct inaccurate personal information
- Obtain a copy of personal data on file
- Opt out of certain processing when the law supplies that right
- Request deletion of qualifying personal data
Updates to This Policy
This policy may be revised as practices or legal duties change. A revised version becomes available on this page with its new effective date.
Effective date: August 9, 2026
