Information Visitors Provide
Search Queries
When a visitor types a name, location, or other search term into a search tool on this site, that query is sent to the third-party provider that powers the tool. Lubbock County Inmate Population does not keep its own log of those search terms.
Messages
If a visitor sends an email or contact message, the message and reply information may be kept long enough to respond and manage the request. Those messages are not shared outside the organization unless a legal duty requires it.
Automatic Technical Data
Like most websites, this site may collect basic technical data when pages load.
- IP address.

- Device type and operating system.
- Pages viewed and time spent on pages.
- Referring website, when available.
- Date and time stamps.
Cookies
Cookies may be used to understand site traffic, remember basic settings, support analytics, and help advertising partners measure activity. Browser settings can block or delete cookies, but some features may work differently after cookies are disabled.
How Information Is Used
- To keep the website available, stable, and reasonably fast.
- To route search requests to the search partner that operates the tool.
- To understand which pages and record topics are useful to visitors.

- To display advertising that may reflect general visitor interests.
Texas public records, including many jail and court materials, are governed in part by the Texas Public Information Act, Texas Government Code Chapter 552. That public-records context does not mean this private site controls the official records or the privacy practices of government portals it links to.
Links Away From This Site
This site links to jail rosters, sheriff pages, court portals, corrections sites, federal locators, ICE resources, VINELink, and outside search tools. Once a visitor opens another website, that site's privacy policy and data practices apply.
Advertising partners may use their own cookies or similar technology to measure ads or show interest-based advertising across different websites. That activity occurs through their systems, not through official Lubbock County records systems.

- Law enforcement, courts, or government bodies if required by a valid legal order.

Reasonable security practices are used to protect information handled by the site. No internet-connected service can be promised as breach-proof, and this notice does not create a guarantee of absolute security.
