Data You Give Us Directly
Search Queries
When a visitor enters a name or date of birth in a search tool, that query is sent to the outside provider operating the tool. The provider processes the entry and returns its response. Ellis County Warrant Records does not store or log search terms on its own systems.
Messages and Contact Submissions
If you email the site, we retain the message so we can respond. We keep it within our organization and do not share it outside the team unless a legal requirement applies.
Data We Gather Automatically
When a page loads, technical information about the visit may be recorded, including:
- Device IP address
- Browser type and version
- Device category and operating system
- Pages viewed and time spent on them
- Referring site, when available
- Time and date of page views
Cookies and Analytics
This site uses cookies, which are small files saved by a browser. They help measure site use, such as which pages receive visits or where a session ends. Analytics providers help combine those traffic details. Browser settings can block cookies, although some site features may then work differently.
What We Do With This Data
- Keep the site available and improve page load performance
- Send a search request to the selected partner provider
- See which information visitors use and where content needs attention
- Find and correct technical problems
- Display advertisements that may reflect prior activity or interests
No Warrant Data on File
Ellis County Warrant Records does not host, compile, maintain, or sell a database of warrants or personal warrant records. It offers general information about where Ellis County records may be requested, including the sheriff's Warrants Division, the issuing courts, and the separate city and JP systems. The site is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, and visitor data is not assembled into consumer reports or records about other people.
Third-Party Search Partners
Search boxes are provided by outside companies. Information entered in those tools is handled under each provider's own privacy terms rather than this policy. The provider controls its retention and sharing practices. Review its policy before entering any information.
Links to Other Websites
This site links to sheriff pages, court portals, state systems, legal-aid resources, and commercial search services. When you follow an external link, that provider's privacy terms apply. Read them before sharing personal details.
Some advertising partners may track activity across websites to select ads. Those tracking systems are operated by the partners, not by Ellis County Warrant Records.
Who Might See Your Data
We do not sell personal information. Data may be handled by:
- Search partners that process a request sent through their tool
- Analytics providers that measure visits and performance
- Advertising networks that place ads
- Government or law-enforcement bodies when a valid legal order requires disclosure
How We Protect Your Data
We use standard security practices to protect the information we collect. No internet-connected service can promise perfect security. We work to protect data, but cannot guarantee that an incident will never occur.
Users Under 18
The site is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from a person under 18. If you believe a minor submitted information, contact us so we can review and remove it.
Your Data Rights
The Texas Public Information Act, Government Code Chapter 552, governs access to eligible records held by a governmental body, including some public court or sheriff records. It does not govern visitor information collected by this private site. For information Ellis County Warrant Records holds directly, you may ask us to:
- Provide a copy of information associated with you
- Correct information you believe is inaccurate
- Delete information held by the site
- Stop certain types of processing where available
Updates to This Policy
This policy may change. A revised version will be posted here with a new effective date. Review it again if you want to know how information is handled.
Effective date: September 23, 2026
