Information You Provide
Search Terms
When a name, county, or location is typed into a search tool, that query may be sent to the third-party provider that powers the tool. This site does not keep its own separate log of those search terms.
Contact Messages
If you send an email or contact message, we use the information in that message to review and respond to it. We do not share contact messages outside our organization unless a valid legal requirement applies.
Automatic Technical Data
Like most websites, this site may collect basic technical details when a page loads. That data helps with site operation, security checks, analytics, and troubleshooting.
- IP address.
- Browser name and version.
- Device type and operating system.
- Pages visited and time spent on pages.
- Referring site, when one is available.
- Date and time stamps.
Cookies
Cookies may be used to understand site use, remember basic preferences, support analytics, and help advertising systems work. You can block cookies in your browser. Some features may respond differently when cookies are disabled.
How Data Is Used
- To keep the site available, stable, and reasonably fast.
- To send search requests to the proper partner service.
- To understand which Milam County jail and inmate record pages visitors use.
- To find, diagnose, and correct technical issues.
- To display advertising that may be based on general interests.
Outside Websites
This site links to sheriff pages, jail rosters, court portals, Texas Department of Criminal Justice resources, federal locators, VINELink Texas, and third-party search tools. Once you click an outside link, that site's privacy policy and data practices apply.
Advertising partners may use their own systems to measure visits or show interest-based ads across websites. That tracking is controlled by those partners, not by the Milam County sheriff, jail, or any official records office.
Who May Receive Data
We do not sell personal data. Limited information may be shared with service providers or authorities in these circumstances:
- Search partners that process lookup requests.
- Analytics services that measure page use.
- Advertising networks that serve or measure ads.
- Law enforcement, courts, or government bodies when a valid legal order requires disclosure.
Data Security
We use reasonable security practices for a public website. No internet-connected system can be made completely secure, so we cannot promise that data will never be accessed, lost, changed, or disclosed without permission.
Users Under 18
This site is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If a minor has submitted information, a parent or guardian may ask that it be reviewed for deletion.
Your Data Rights
- Ask for a copy of personal data we hold about you.
- Ask that incorrect information be corrected.
- Ask for deletion when retention is not required.
- Opt out of certain processing where applicable law allows.
Notice Updates
This Privacy Notice may be changed from time to time. Updated notice text will be posted on this page with a new effective date or revised posting date when needed.
