Privacy Policy
Last updated: 2026-09-12
This Privacy Policy explains how Tarrant County Public Records (“we,” “us,” or “our”) at tarrantcountypublicrecords.com collects, uses, discloses, and protects information when you visit or use this website and related pages (the “Site”). By using the Site, you agree to this Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the Site.
This site is not affiliated with any government agency. We provide related public-records information for general reference only; information may not be complete or fully accurate.
1. Who we are and what this Site does
The Site is an independent informational website about public-records topics. We do not operate an official government database, do not store personal “dossiers” about the people you look up, and do not sell consumer reports. Search forms may send you to third-party tools; those parties have their own privacy practices.
2. Information we collect
Depending on how you use the Site, we may collect:
- Information you submit: names, locations, or other details you enter in search or contact forms; email addresses if you contact us.
- Automatically collected information: IP address, browser type, device and operating system, referring URL, pages viewed, timestamps, approximate region derived from IP, and similar technical logs.
- Cookies and similar technologies: cookies, local storage, pixels, or similar tools used for site operation, preferences, analytics, and (if enabled) advertising or affiliate measurement.
We do not require you to create an account to browse informational pages. We do not knowingly collect Social Security numbers, driver’s license numbers, or payment card data on this Site. If a third-party partner asks for such data after you leave the Site, that collection is governed by their policy, not ours.
3. How we use information
- Operate, maintain, secure, and improve the Site;
- Process search requests and route you to relevant pages or third-party services;
- Measure traffic, diagnose errors, prevent abuse and fraud;
- Respond to inquiries you send us;
- Comply with law and enforce our Terms of Service;
- Support affiliate, advertising, or analytics features where enabled.
We do not use information you enter into search forms to build FCRA consumer reports.
4. Cookies, analytics, and logs
We may use first-party analytics (such as Umami) and server logs to understand which pages are visited and how the Site performs. Analytics data is typically aggregated. We do not intentionally combine analytics with search-form names unless needed to operate a feature you request or to investigate abuse.
You can control cookies through your browser settings. Blocking cookies may limit some features. We cannot guarantee that every third-party tool will honor every “Do Not Track” or similar signal.
5. Advertising, affiliates, and marketing technologies
The Site may include advertisements, sponsored placements, or affiliate offers. Partners may use cookies, pixels, device identifiers, or referral parameters to measure clicks, conversions, and campaign performance. Those partners may collect information about your visit under their own policies. We do not control their technologies.
6. Third-party search and records partners
When you submit a search or follow certain links, you may be redirected to government sites or commercial public-records / people-search providers. Those parties may collect names and locations you entered, IP address, cookies, click IDs, and any account or payment data you provide to them.
We do not operate or control third-party databases. We are not responsible for their content, accuracy, billing, security, retention, or removal processes. For removal or privacy requests about data they hold, contact that provider directly.
7. How we share information
We do not sell your personal information as a standalone consumer data product. We may share information:
- With service providers that host, secure, analyze, or operate the Site, under appropriate obligations;
- With advertising, analytics, or affiliate partners when you use related features or click related links;
- When you choose to continue to a third-party search or records service;
- To comply with law, legal process, or enforceable government requests;
- To protect the rights, property, or safety of users, the public, or our business;
- In connection with a merger, acquisition, financing, or sale of assets, with appropriate safeguards.
8. Data retention
We retain information only as long as reasonably needed for the purposes in this Policy, unless a longer period is required or permitted by law. Access logs and analytics aggregates are typically kept for security and operations (often on the order of weeks to a few months). Third parties retain data under their own policies.
9. Security
We use reasonable administrative and technical measures designed to protect information. No internet transmission or electronic storage is completely secure; we cannot guarantee absolute security and are not liable for unauthorized access beyond our reasonable control.
10. Your choices
- Adjust browser cookie and tracking settings;
- Choose not to submit optional form information;
- Choose whether to continue to third-party sites after leaving this Site;
- Contact us about information associated with communications you sent us.
Requests about data held only by third-party partners must be directed to those partners.
11. Children’s privacy
The Site is not directed to children under 18. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided personal information to us, contact us and we will take appropriate steps.
12. International visitors
If you access the Site from outside the United States, you understand that information may be processed and stored in the United States or other places where our providers operate, which may have different data-protection rules than your country.
13. California and similar state notices
Depending on your state of residence, you may have rights to know, delete, or opt out of certain sales/sharing of personal information. We do not sell personal information as a standalone product. Some analytics or affiliate disclosures may be considered “sharing” under certain state laws when you interact with those features. To make a privacy request related to data we control, email [email protected]. We may need to verify your request. We will not discriminate against you for exercising rights available under applicable law.
14. Disclaimer regarding public information
Content on the Site may discuss or link to publicly available records. Publication of general educational material about public-records topics is not a representation that any particular individual has a record, nor that any third-party result is correct. Always verify with official sources.
15. Limitation related to privacy practices of others
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THE PRIVACY, SECURITY, OR DATA PRACTICES OF THIRD-PARTY WEBSITES, GOVERNMENT SYSTEMS, ADVERTISERS, OR AFFILIATE PARTNERS YOU REACH THROUGH THE SITE.
16. Changes to this Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the “Last updated” date on this page. Continued use of the Site after changes become effective constitutes acceptance of the updated Policy.
