Data You Give Us Directly
Search Queries
A name or case number entered in a search tool is sent directly to the outside provider operating that tool. The provider processes the query and supplies the response. We do not keep or record those search terms on our systems.
Messages and Contact Submissions
We retain a message sent by email as needed to answer it. Messages remain within our organization unless disclosure is required by law.
Data We Gather Automatically
When a page loads, the server may automatically receive these technical details:
- 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 are small files saved on a device. We and our analytics services use them to understand traffic patterns, such as popular pages and exit points. A browser can block cookies, although doing so may change how parts of the website function.
What We Do With This Data
- Operating, maintaining, and improving website performance
- Routing a submitted query to the selected search provider
- Diagnosing faults and other technical problems
- Measuring which content visitors use
- Displaying advertising that may reflect visitor interests
No Court-Record Data on File
We do not host, sell, maintain, or compile a database of court dockets or personal case information. Our content explains where Guadalupe County records are kept by the District Clerk, trial courts, and other custodians, with official search routes such as re:SearchTX. We are not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act. Visitor information is not assembled into consumer reports or third-party case profiles.
Third-Party Search Partners
Outside companies power the search boxes. Their privacy policies, retention periods, and sharing rules govern information submitted to them, and we do not control those practices. Review the applicable provider policy before running a query.
Links to Other Websites
Links may lead to the Guadalupe County District Clerk, District Courts, re:SearchTX, eFileTexas, legal-aid resources, and outside search services. Once you leave this website, the destination's privacy terms control. Review them before providing personal information.
Advertising providers may use their own systems to track activity across websites for targeted advertising.
Who Might See Your Data
We do not sell personal information. Limited data may be received by:
- 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 security practices are used to protect collected information. No internet system can be guaranteed secure, so we cannot promise that a breach or unauthorized access will never occur.
Users Under 18
The website is intended for adults, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone younger than 18. If we learn that a minor supplied such data, we will delete it.
Your Data Rights
Rights may differ according to where a visitor lives and the law that applies. Subject to lawful exceptions, you may:
- 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
