Data You Give Us Directly
Search Queries
When you type a name or location into a search tool on the site, that text goes to the third-party provider that runs the tool. We do not store or log those search terms on our own end. The provider handles them under its own policy.
Messages You Send
If you email us or send a message, we keep it so we can reply. We do not share it outside our organization unless the law requires us to.
Data We Gather Automatically
Like most websites, ours records some technical details each time a page loads.
- Your IP address
- The browser and version you use
- Your device type and operating system
- The pages you open and how long you stay
- The site that referred you, if any
- The date and time of each visit
Cookies
We use cookies to understand how visitors move through the site. You can block or delete them in your browser settings, though a few features may behave differently if you do.
How We Use This Data
- To keep the site online and running quickly
- To route search requests to the right partner service
- To learn which pages people find useful
- To find and fix technical problems
- To show advertising that may match your interests
Links to Other Websites
The site links out to jail rosters, sheriff and corrections pages, government portals, and third-party search tools. Once you click through, the privacy policy of that other site governs what happens to your data, not this one.
Some advertising partners may track activity across different sites to serve targeted ads. That tracking happens on their systems, not ours.
Who Might See Your Data
We do not sell personal data. It may reach the parties listed below in the normal course of running the site.
- Search partners that process your queries
- Analytics services that measure site use
- Advertising networks
- Law enforcement or government bodies acting under a valid legal order
How We Protect Your Data
We follow standard security practices to guard the data we handle. Even so, no system connected to the internet is ever fully secure, so we cannot promise that a breach can never happen.
Users Under 18
This site is meant for adults. We do not knowingly collect data from anyone under 18. If you believe a minor sent us information, contact us and we will delete it.
