Information You Submit
Search Entries
When you type a name, location, or similar search detail into a third-party search tool on this site, that entry is sent to the provider operating the tool. We do not keep a separate local log of those search terms on our own site systems.
Messages
If you send an email or contact message, we use the information in that message to read it, respond, and manage the issue raised. We do not share contact messages outside the organization except when required by law, legal process, or a valid government order.
Information Collected Automatically
Like most websites, technical data may be recorded when a page loads or when a visitor moves through the site.
- IP address.
- Browser name and version.
- Device type and operating system.
- Pages visited and time spent on those pages.
- Referring website, when one is available.
- Date and time stamps.
Cookies
Cookies and similar tools may be used to understand traffic, remember basic settings, and measure how visitors use pages such as jail inmate records, jail roster mugshots, and court records after a jail arrest. You can block cookies in your browser, but some features or measurements may work differently.
How Information Is Used
- To keep the site available, readable, and reasonably fast.
- To send search requests to the partner service that operates a search box.
- To understand which Comal County pages and resources are most useful.
- To diagnose broken links, errors, and performance problems.
- To support advertising that may be tailored to broad visitor interests.
Outside Links
This site links to public and third-party resources, including the Comal County Jail Open Records Request page, the Comal County Corrections page, the CDA request information page, state and federal locator tools, and private search services. After you leave this site, the privacy policy of the destination site controls how your information is handled.
Advertising partners may use their own systems to measure or personalize ads across websites. That activity happens under their policies and controls, not under the Comal County Inmate Population privacy notice.
Who May Receive Information
We do not sell personal data. Information may be available to limited outside parties when needed to operate the site or comply with law.
- Search partners that process submitted search queries.
- Analytics providers that measure site use.
- Advertising networks that support ad placement and reporting.
- Law-enforcement agencies, courts, or government bodies when required by subpoena, court order, the Texas Public Information Act process, or another valid legal requirement.
Security
We use reasonable security practices for a public information website. No internet-connected service can be guaranteed free from interception, misuse, outage, or unauthorized access, so we cannot promise absolute security.
Visitors Under 18
This site is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If a minor has sent information through the site, a parent or guardian may ask that it be removed from our active records.
Your Choices and Rights
- Ask for a copy of personal information we maintain about you.
- Request correction of inaccurate information.
- Request deletion when retention is not required.
- Object to or opt out of certain processing where applicable.
