Information You Enter
Search Queries
When a name, location, or other search term is typed into a search tool, that query may be sent to the third-party provider that runs the tool. This site does not keep its own separate log of those search terms.
Messages
If a visitor sends an email or contact message, the message and reply information may be kept long enough to answer and maintain normal business records. Those messages are not shared outside the organization unless a legal duty requires it.
Information Collected Automatically
Basic technical data may be collected when pages load or when a browser interacts with the site.
- IP address.
- Browser type and version.
- Device type and operating system.
- Pages visited and approximate time on those pages.
- Referring website, when one is passed by the browser.
- Date and time stamps.
Cookies
Cookies and similar tools may be used to understand site use and support advertising or analytics. A browser can block cookies, though some functions may work differently when cookies are disabled.
How Information Is Used
- Keep the website available, stable, and reasonably fast.
- Route search requests to the correct partner service.
- Understand which pages are useful to visitors.
- Find and repair technical problems.
- Display advertising that may be matched to general interests.
Links Outside This Site
Pages link to jail rosters, sheriff and corrections websites, court portals, state and federal locators, and third-party search tools. After a visitor clicks an outside link, the privacy policy of that outside service controls what happens there.
Advertising partners may use their own systems to measure ads or show interest-based advertising across websites. That tracking happens through their platforms, not through a government record system maintained by this site.

Security
Reasonable security practices are used, but no internet-connected system can be promised as fully secure. The site cannot guarantee that information will never be accessed, altered, or disclosed without authorization.
