Data You Give Us Directly
Search Queries
A query entered in a search box is sent to the outside company that operates that tool. The partner processes the terms and supplies its result. We do not keep a separate log of those names or case numbers.
Messages and Contact Submissions
We retain an email or contact message as needed to answer it. It is not disclosed outside our organization unless the law requires disclosure.
Data We Gather Automatically
Our systems may receive routine technical information when a visitor loads a page:
- The IP address assigned to your device
- Which browser you are using and its version
- Your device type and operating system
- The pages you visited and how long you stayed on each
- The site that sent you here, if any
- Timestamps for each page view
Cookies and Analytics
Cookies and analytics services help measure traffic, page use, and site performance. A browser can reject or remove cookies, although doing so may change how some features work. Analytics reports generally combine activity rather than serving as a Collingsworth County court-record system.
What We Do With This Data
- Keeping the site up, running, and loading quickly
- Sending your search requests to the right partner service
- Figuring out which pages people find useful and which need work
- Tracking down and fixing technical issues
- Showing ads that may line up with your interests
No Court-Record Data on File
We do not host, sell, or maintain a database of Collingsworth County dockets or personal case files. The site publishes routing information for the County Clerk, District Clerk, local courts, and re:SearchTX. Court access is governed by the Texas Public Information Act together with Texas court rules, including Rule 12 for administrative judicial records. Visitor data is not assembled into a consumer report, and this site is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act.
Third-Party Search Partners
Outside companies operate the search widgets. Their privacy policies govern information submitted to them, including retention and disclosure practices we do not control. Review the displayed provider's terms before entering a query.
Links to Other Websites
Links to Texas courts, Collingsworth County offices, legal resources, and search providers lead to independently operated websites. Their policies apply after a visitor follows the link. Check those policies before sharing personal information.
Certain advertising partners may track your activity across sites to show targeted ads. That tracking runs on their systems, not ours.
Who Might See Your Data
Personal data is not sold by us. Limited information may be available to:
- Search partners that handle queries you run on our site
- Analytics services we use to track traffic and performance
- Ad networks that place ads on our pages
- Law enforcement or government bodies when a valid legal order requires it
How We Protect Your Data
Reasonable administrative and technical safeguards protect information in our control. No internet service can guarantee perfect security, so transmission and storage still carry risk.
Users Under 18
The service is intended for adults, and we do not knowingly collect personal data from a person under 18. A verified notice about such data will be addressed through deletion where required.
Your Data Rights
Applicable Texas and federal privacy or consumer-protection law may provide rights based on residence and context. A person may ask to:
- Ask for a copy of what we have on file about you
- Have us fix information that is wrong
- Request that we erase your data
- Opt out of certain kinds of data processing
