Information You Submit
Search Terms
When you type a name, location, or other details into a search tool on this site, that query is sent to the third-party provider that powers the tool. Knox County Inmate Population does not store or log those search terms on its own systems.
Messages
If you send an email or other contact message, we use the information in that message to read it and respond. We do not share those messages outside the organization unless a legal requirement makes disclosure necessary.
Information Collected Automatically
Like most websites, this site may collect technical information when a page loads, including:
- The IP address used for the visit.
- Browser name, browser version, and related settings.
- Device type and operating system.
- Pages viewed and approximate time spent on those pages.
- The referring website, when one is available.
- Date and time stamps tied to page activity.
Cookies
Cookies and similar tools may be used to understand site use and improve performance. You can block cookies through your browser settings, but some parts of the site or partner tools may work differently when cookies are disabled.
How the Information Is Used
- To keep the site available, stable, and reasonably fast.
- To send search requests to the correct outside search provider.
- To understand which Knox County jail, court, and locator pages are useful.
- To diagnose errors, security events, and technical problems.
- To display advertising that may be more relevant to visitor interests.
Links Away From This Site
Pages may link to Knox County sheriff resources, court or clerk pages, TDCJ, VINELink Texas, BOP, ICE, legal resources, and third-party search tools. After you leave this site, the privacy policy and terms of the destination site control that visit.
Advertising partners may use their own systems to measure activity across websites and personalize ads. That tracking is handled by those partners, not by Knox County Inmate Population's own record systems.

- Search partners that process search requests entered into their tools.
- Analytics services used to measure site traffic and performance.
- Advertising networks that help place or measure ads.
- Law enforcement agencies, courts, or government bodies when a valid legal order requires disclosure.
Security
Reasonable security practices are used to protect information handled by the site. No internet-connected website, email account, analytics platform, or partner tool can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
