Privacy Policy

Effective date: September 23, 2025

TarrantTX.org (“we,” “us,” or “our”) is an informational website that helps residents and visitors locate public resources in Tarrant County, Texas. Our site consolidates links and guidance for Inmate Search, Jail, Medical Examiner, Appraisal District, Property Tax, Court Records, Property Search, Clerk, Court Docket, Courts, Credit Union, Marriage License, Sheriff’s Office, Warrant Search, Health Department, and the District Attorney. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have.

By using TarrantTX.org, you agree to the practices described here. If you do not agree, please discontinue use of the site.

1) What We Are (and Are Not)

TarrantTX.org is a resource hub that points you to official county offices, agencies, and third-party tools. We do not host case files, inmate records, tax records, or other official data; instead, we link to the relevant departments that maintain those records.

We do not require user registration and do not operate user accounts or profiles. We do not actively collect personal information such as your name, phone number, email address, or mailing address.

2) Information We Collect Automatically

Although we do not ask you to submit personal details, certain information is collected automatically to operate and improve the site.

Device and usage data. When you visit, your browser may automatically send information such as your IP address, browser type, device type, operating system, referral URLs, pages viewed, and the date/time of your visit. This is standard for most websites and helps us understand traffic patterns and site performance.

Cookies and similar technologies. We and our service providers may use cookies and similar technologies (such as local storage or pixels) to remember settings, measure traffic, detect errors, and improve user experience. You can manage cookies through your browser settings; disabling cookies may affect site functionality.

3) Analytics

We use Google Analytics to help us understand how visitors use TarrantTX.org so we can optimize navigation and content relevance. Google Analytics may set cookies and collect data related to your device, browser, and on-site actions. This information is aggregated and does not personally identify you to us.

To learn about Google’s practices and your choices, you can review Google’s privacy resources and the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on. Your browser tools and settings also allow you to block or delete cookies that support analytics.

4) Advertising

We use Google AdSense to display advertisements. AdSense may use cookies or device identifiers to serve ads based on your visits to this and other sites. This enables interest-based advertising and limits repetitive ads.

You can manage ad personalization through your Google Ads settings and various industry opt-out pages. Disabling ad personalization does not eliminate ads; it generally results in ads that are less tailored to your interests. Please note that advertising partners may change over time; their use of data is governed by their own privacy policies.

5) How We Use Information

We use automatically collected information to:

Operate, maintain, and secure our site.
Understand site performance and areas for improvement.
Diagnose and fix technical issues.
Measure and report on aggregated traffic, search patterns, and engagement.
Support ad delivery and frequency capping through our advertising partners.

We do not sell your personal information as we do not actively collect it. Our advertising partners may process data in line with their own policies and your preferences.

6) When We Share Information

We may share non-personal, aggregated analytics reports with partners or service providers to help us analyze usage and improve the site. We may also share information when required by law, regulation, or legal process, or to protect our rights, users, or the public.

Third-party links on TarrantTX.org (for example, to county offices or court portals) are operated by other entities. When you follow those links, their privacy policies and practices apply.

7) Your Choices

Cookies and browser controls. Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies and manage site permissions. Doing so may limit some features.

Analytics opt-outs. You may use browser add-ons and platform settings to reduce or prevent data collection for analytics.

Ad choices. You can manage interest-based ad settings in your Google account and via industry tools that provide opt-out mechanisms for participating companies.

Because we do not operate user accounts or collect contact information, there is no profile to modify or delete on TarrantTX.org.

8) Data Retention

We retain server logs and aggregated analytics data for as long as necessary to operate, secure, and improve the site, and to comply with legal obligations. Retention periods may vary depending on the type of data, the purpose for which it was collected, and contractual or legal requirements.

9) Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures designed to protect the information we process. No method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security. You can help by using up-to-date software, enabling automatic updates, and exercising caution when following links.

10) Children’s Privacy

TarrantTX.org is intended for general audiences and is not directed to children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided personal information on our site, please use the contact options described below so we can address the matter.

11) International Users

Our services are intended for use in the United States. If you access the site from outside the U.S., you understand that information may be processed in the U.S. and other countries where privacy laws may differ from those in your jurisdiction.

12) Your State or Regional Privacy Rights

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have rights regarding access to, deletion of, or restriction of certain personal information. Because we do not actively collect personal information like names or contact details, many such rights may not apply directly to your use of TarrantTX.org. However, our advertising and analytics partners may process data subject to regional laws. You can exercise preferences using browser settings, ad settings, and opt-out tools made available by those providers.

13) Third-Party Sites and Services

Our site links to county offices, court systems, public records portals, and other third-party resources. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those external sites. Review their policies before submitting information or using their services.

14) Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, law, or our services. When we make material changes, we will revise the “Effective date” above. Your continued use of TarrantTX.org after an update means you accept the revised policy.

15) Contact

If you have questions or concerns about this Privacy Policy or our practices, please reach out using the contact options provided on our website. We aim to respond to appropriate inquiries and will work in good faith to address privacy-related questions.
