Privacy Notice

This notice describes what data may be collected when someone uses Newton County Released Inmates, why that data is used, and when another party may receive it. By continuing to use the site, a visitor accepts these practices. Government records reached through our links remain subject to the Texas Public Information Act, Government Code Chapter 552, and any applicable exceptions, but this policy concerns data handled through this private site.

Information You Submit

A name or location entered into an embedded search box is sent to the third-party provider that operates the tool. We do not store or log those search terms on our systems. The provider’s privacy terms govern its handling of the query.

If you send an email or contact message, we retain the message and contact details long enough to respond and manage the exchange. We do not share that message outside our organization unless disclosure is required by law.
