Information Given Directly
Search terms
A name or location entered in a search tool is sent to the independent provider operating that tool. This site does not maintain a separate log of those search terms.
Messages
Email or contact messages may be retained to respond. They are not shared outside the organization unless disclosure is required by law.
Technical Data and Cookies
Basic technical information may be collected when a page loads, including the following:
- IP address
- Browser type and version
- Device and operating system
- Pages viewed and time spent
- Referring site, when available
- Date and time of access
Cookies
Cookies help measure site use and may support features or advertising. A browser can block or remove cookies, though some functions may then work differently.
How Information Is Used
Information is used to operate and improve the service, route a search request to the appropriate partner, understand which pages are useful, diagnose technical problems, and support advertising that may be interest based.
External Sites and Advertising
Links may lead to Sheriff, DCR, court, jail, federal locator, government, and third-party search pages. Those destinations control their own privacy practices after a visitor leaves this site. Advertising partners may track activity across websites through their own systems for targeted advertising.
Who May Receive Data
Personal information is not sold. It may be handled by search partners processing a query, analytics providers, advertising networks, or a government or law-enforcement body responding to a valid legal order.
Security and Age Limits
Reasonable safeguards are used, but no internet-connected service can promise absolute security. The site is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect information from people under 18. Contact the site if a minor has submitted information so it can be addressed.
Visitor Choices
A visitor may request access to information held about them, ask for a correction or deletion where appropriate, or opt out of certain processing. Send a request through the Contacts page with enough detail to locate the information.
Policy Changes
This policy may be revised as operations or legal requirements change. A revised version takes effect when posted here.
