Data You Give Us Directly
Search Queries
When you type a name or location into a search tool on the site, that query is passed 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 privacy practices.
Messages You Send Us
If you email us or send a message through a contact channel, we keep it so we can 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 information each time a page loads.
- Your IP address.
- Your browser type and version.
- Your device type and operating system.
- The pages you view and how long you stay on each.
- The site that referred you, if any.
- Date and time stamps.
Cookies
We use cookies to understand how visitors move through the site. You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings, though some features may behave differently if you do.
What We Do With This Data
- Keep the site running and loading quickly.
- Send your search to the right partner service.
- Learn which pages people find useful.
- Spot and fix technical problems.
- Show ads that may line up with your interests.
Links to Other Websites
The site links 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 your personal data. It may reach the parties listed here.
- Search partners that handle your queries.
- Analytics services.
- 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 fully secure, and we cannot promise that a breach will never happen.
Users Under 18
The site is meant for adults. We do not knowingly collect data from anyone under 18. If you believe a minor has submitted information, contact us and we will delete it.
