Information you provide
Search entries
When you type a name, location, or other term into a site search tool, that query is sent to the third-party provider that operates the tool. We do not keep a separate copy of those terms in our own search logs.
Messages
If you send us a message, we may retain the message and the contact details you provide so that we can respond. We do not share message content outside our organization unless disclosure is required by law.
Technical details collected automatically
Like most websites, the site and its service providers may collect routine technical information when a page is requested. This data can include:
- Internet protocol address and general network information.
- Browser type, version, and language settings.
- Device type and operating system.
- Pages viewed and the approximate time spent on them.
- The referring site or link, when available.
- Visit dates, times, and related diagnostic data.
Cookies and similar tools
Cookies and similar technologies help measure use, remember limited preferences, and support site features. You can block or remove cookies through browser settings, though some functions may work differently after doing so.
Why we use information
Information is used to operate, protect, and improve the site and its services. For example, it may help us:
- Keep the site available and diagnose technical problems.
- Send a search request to the provider selected for that tool.
- Understand which public-record guidance pages visitors find useful.
- Detect misuse, errors, and security issues.
- Support advertising that may be based on interests or activity.
Outside websites and advertising
The site links to official jail, court, corrections, and public-record resources as well as third-party tools. Once you leave this site, the destination's terms and privacy notice apply. We do not control another site's content, availability, or information practices.
Advertising partners may use their own technologies to measure activity or display interest-based advertising across websites. That activity occurs under the partner's policies and systems, not under this site's direct control.
Who may receive information
We do not sell personal information. Limited information may be disclosed to the following recipients when necessary for the purposes described in this notice:
- Search partners that receive a query submitted through their tool.
- Analytics providers that help us understand site performance.
- Advertising networks that serve or measure advertising.
- Service providers that host, secure, or maintain the site.
- Law enforcement or another government authority when a valid legal order requires disclosure.
Security limits
We use reasonable administrative and technical measures intended to protect information, but no internet-connected system can be guaranteed completely secure. Please do not send sensitive information unless it is necessary, and understand that we cannot promise that every transmission or storage system will be free from risk.
Visitors under 18
This site is intended for adults and is not designed for children under 18. We do not knowingly collect personal information from a person under 18. If you believe a minor has supplied personal information, contact us so that we can review and, where appropriate, remove it.
Your choices and requests
Subject to applicable law and our need to verify a request, you may ask to:
- Receive a copy of personal information we hold about you.
- Correct inaccurate information.
- Request deletion of information that is no longer needed.
- Opt out of certain processing where that option applies.
Requests about a government record, jail roster, or court file must go to the original government custodian, not this site.
Changes to this notice
We may revise this notice as site practices or legal requirements change. Any revised version will be posted on this page with an updated effective date.
