Data You Give Us Directly
Search Queries
When you type a name or location into a search tool on the site, that query goes to the third-party provider that runs the tool. It is handled on their end. The site itself does not store or log the search terms you enter.
Messages You Send
If you email us or send a message, we keep it only to reply. We do not share that message outside our organization unless the law requires it.
Data We Gather Automatically
Like most websites, ours records some technical details each time a page loads. These help keep the site working and show how it is used.
- Your IP address
- Your browser and its version
- 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 your visit
Cookies
Cookies help us see how visitors move through the site. You can block or delete them in your browser settings, though some features may behave differently if you do.
How This Data Is Used
- To keep the site running and loading quickly
- To route a search request to the correct partner service
- To learn which pages people find useful
- To spot 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 information.
Some advertising partners may track activity across different websites to serve targeted ads. That tracking happens on their systems, not on ours.
Who Might See Your Data
We do not sell your personal data. It may reach the following parties in the normal course of running the site.
- Search partners that handle the queries you submit
- 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 information we handle. Even so, no system connected to the internet is ever completely secure, and we cannot promise that a breach will never happen.
Users Under 18
This site is meant for adults. We do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 18. If you believe a minor has sent us data, contact us and we will remove it.
