Information You Send
Search Terms
When a visitor types a name, location, or other lookup detail into a third-party search tool, that query is sent to the provider that operates the tool. Martin County Inmate Population does not store those search terms in its own records.
Messages
If you send an email or contact message, we may keep the message and reply information long enough to respond and manage the request. We do not share those messages outside our organization unless a valid legal requirement applies.
Information Collected Automatically
Like many websites, this site may collect technical information when pages load, including:
- IP address.
- Browser name and version.
- Device type and operating system.
- Pages viewed and time spent on pages.
- Referring website, when one is provided.
- Date and time stamps.
Cookies
Cookies may be used to understand site traffic and improve how pages work. You can block cookies through browser settings, but some tools or measurements may function differently when cookies are disabled.
How Data Is Used
- To keep the site available, usable, and reasonably fast.
- To route search requests to the partner service selected by the user.
- To understand which Martin County custody and records pages are useful.
- To find broken links, errors, and other technical problems.

Outside Websites
This site links to resources such as the Martin County Kologik roster, sheriff and court pages, the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, VINELink, BOP, ICE, Texas Government Code Chapter 552 public-information materials, and third-party search services. After you leave this site, the destination website's own privacy notice controls its data practices.
Advertising partners may use their systems to recognize activity across websites for interest-based ads. That tracking is handled by those partners, not by Martin County Inmate Population.

- Search partners that process a query entered into their tools.
- Analytics providers used to measure site performance.
- Advertising networks used to support the site.
- Law-enforcement or government entities when a valid subpoena, court order, or other lawful demand requires disclosure.
Security
We use reasonable security practices for a public website, but no internet-connected service can be guaranteed breach-proof or error-free.
