Information You Submit
Search Queries
When a name, location, or similar detail is typed into a sponsored search tool, that query is sent to the third-party provider that operates the tool. This site does not store those search terms in its own records.
Messages
If a visitor sends an email or message, the submitted information may be kept long enough to read, route, and respond. It is not shared outside the organization unless a valid legal requirement applies.
Information Collected Automatically
Basic technical data may be collected when pages load so the site can operate, measure traffic, and diagnose problems.
- IP address.
- Browser type and version.
- Device type and operating system.
- Pages viewed and approximate time spent on them.
- Referring website, when available.
- Date and time stamps.
Cookies
Cookies and similar tools may be used to understand site use and support advertising or analytics. A browser can block cookies, although some features may behave differently when cookies are disabled.
How Information Is Used
- To keep pages available, usable, and reasonably fast.
- To send search requests to the partner service selected by the visitor.
- To understand which Shackelford County inmate and jail-record pages are useful.
- To identify technical errors, broken links, and performance issues.
- To display ads that may be selected through advertising partners.
Outside Websites
This site links to sheriff, jail, court, TDCJ, VINELink, BOP, ICE, Texas public-record, and third-party search resources. After a visitor leaves this site, the destination 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. Those activities are handled by the advertising providers, not by Shackelford County officials.

- Search partners that process submitted search queries.
- Analytics providers that measure traffic and page performance.
- Advertising networks that help display ads.
- Law enforcement, courts, or government bodies when a valid legal order requires disclosure, including orders connected with Texas Government Code Chapter 552 or other applicable law.
Security
Reasonable security practices are used for the site, but no internet-connected system can be guaranteed to be free from unauthorized access, errors, or outages.
