Information We Receive
We may receive information you provide in a message, such as a name, email address, and the contents of the inquiry. A query entered into a sponsored search box is passed to the independent provider that operates that tool. We may also receive standard technical data, including browser type, device and operating-system information, referring page, IP address, approximate location inferred from IP, pages viewed, and timestamps.
Cookies and Similar Tools
The site and its service providers may use cookies, local storage, pixels, or comparable technologies to remember preferences, measure traffic, prevent abuse, and support advertising. Your browser may offer controls to remove or block cookies. Disabling them can affect features supplied by third parties.
How Information Is Used
Information is used to operate and secure the site, answer messages, improve content and performance, measure aggregate usage, detect misuse, and support advertising or referral arrangements. Search information may be used by the provider that receives it under that provider’s own policies. We do not use a search term to create an official record or determine anyone’s custody status.
When Data May Be Shared
We may disclose information to hosting, analytics, search, advertising, and support providers that process it for their services. We can also disclose data when a valid legal order requires it, to protect rights or safety, or as part of a business transfer. We do not control how a linked public agency or independent provider handles information after you leave this site.
Official Records and Outside Links
Links to Burnet County, Texas, or federal resources are provided for convenience. Public records held by government offices are governed by the custodian’s rules and applicable law, including the Texas Public Information Act. An external site’s availability, privacy practices, and content are not controlled by this site. Review that site’s notice before entering information.
Security and Retention
Reasonable administrative and technical measures are used to protect information, but no transmission or storage method is completely secure. We retain information only as long as reasonably needed for the purposes described here, to meet legal obligations, resolve disputes, or enforce agreements. A third-party provider may keep information under a different schedule.
Children
This site is not directed to people under 18. We do not knowingly seek personal information from children. If you believe a child provided personal information, contact the operator so the issue can be reviewed and appropriate steps can be taken.
Your Privacy Choices
You may ask about personal information submitted directly to the site, request correction of information you provided, or ask that an inquiry be deleted when retention is not required. Browser settings can manage cookies, and provider-specific settings may manage interest-based advertising. These choices do not change records held by a sheriff, court, jail, or other custodian.
Changes and Questions
We may revise this notice as the site or applicable practices change. The current version takes effect when posted. Questions about this notice may be directed through the Contacts page.
