Privacy Policy

This policy describes how Wilson County Criminal History handles information from visitors. It applies to this privately operated website, not to a Wilson County office, Texas DPS, a court portal, or any outside service reached through a link or sponsored search box.

Data You Give Us Directly

Information is received only when you choose to submit it through an available site feature. That may include contact details and the text you enter. Do not assume a submission reaches a government custodian. Official records requests must be sent to the agency that keeps the record.

Data We Gather Automatically

Standard technical data may be logged when you visit, such as IP address, browser type, device type, referring page, pages viewed, and visit time. Cookies or similar technology may support basic operation, security, analytics, and advertising.

What We Do With This Data

Collected data may be used to operate and secure the website, understand broad usage patterns, diagnose errors, prevent abuse, and meet legal duties. It is not used to build a Wilson County criminal-history file about a visitor or another person.

No Criminal-Record Data on File

Wilson County Criminal History does not maintain or sell a database of personal arrest, court, jail, or registry records. It publishes general directions to the Wilson County Sheriff, local courts, Texas DPS Crime Records Division, TDCJ, and the Texas Public Sex Offender Registry. The site is not a consumer reporting agency and does not assemble consumer reports.

Third-Party Search Partners

Sponsored search boxes are operated by outside providers. A provider may collect the terms you submit, payment details, device data, or other information under its own privacy policy. Review that policy before using its service. This website does not control the provider's database, pricing, or retention practices.

Links to Other Websites

Links to Wilson County, Texas, federal, and third-party pages lead to systems with separate terms and privacy practices. This policy does not govern information collected after you leave this website.

Who Might See Your Data

Data may be shared with vendors that host, secure, analyze, or support the site, as required by law, or when necessary to protect rights and prevent misuse. Personal data is not sold as a criminal-record product.

How We Protect Your Data

Reasonable administrative and technical safeguards are used, but no internet transmission or storage system can promise complete security. Keep sensitive identifiers out of general website submissions.

Users Under 18

This website is intended for adults and is not directed to children. Information is not knowingly collected from a child under 18.

Your Data Rights

Texas residents may have rights under the Texas Data Privacy and Security Act, Texas Business and Commerce Code Chapter 541, subject to its coverage limits and exemptions. Depending on the law and context, those rights can include access, correction, deletion, portability, and opting out of certain processing. The Texas Public Information Act governs government records and does not turn a request to this private site into a request to Wilson County.

  • Ask what personal data is processed
  • Request correction or deletion where applicable
  • Seek a portable copy when the law requires one
  • Appeal an eligible rights-request decision
