TexasArrests Privacy Risks and How to Remove Your Personal Data
They scrape and aggregate your personal data:
TexasArrests compiles arrest, warrant and inmate information from publicly available law‑enforcement, court or sheriff’s office records, as well as commercial databases. Their site states the information is gathered from third‑party vendors and public records, and is not affiliated with any government agency.
They engage in automatic data harvesting:
The site uses cookies and tracking tools to monitor browsing activity and referral sources. Their Privacy Policy notes that tracking cookies help analyze sales data and improve ad targeting. They monetise through user registration for full access to certain records (membership area) and work with third‑party data vendors
Opting out is possible, but removal is difficult:
Because TexasArrests aggregates from multiple sources and publishes searchable records online, removal is more difficult than simply deleting one instance. Records may persist in public databases or reappear. Using a specialist service such as mePrism helps monitor and remove your data across many brokers at scale, including this one.
Companies like TexasArrests are selling your information right now.
