Information Provided Directly
Search entries
A name or location entered in a search box is sent to the third-party provider that operates that tool. We do not retain or log the query on our own systems. The provider’s own privacy notice and terms apply to its handling of the query.
Messages
If a visitor sends an email or contact message, we may retain the message and contact details needed to respond. We do not disclose that information outside our organization unless required by law.
Automatic Technical Data
Like most web services, a visit may generate technical information that helps operate, secure, and measure the site.
- Internet protocol address.
- Browser type and version.
- Device and operating-system details.
- Pages viewed and the time spent on them.
- Referring page, when available.
- Date and time of the request.
Cookies
Cookies and similar tools may help us understand site use and keep features working. Browser settings can limit or block cookies, although some features may then work differently.
How Information Is Used
Technical and message information may be used to operate and improve the service, route a search request to the correct partner, understand which content is useful, diagnose site problems, and deliver advertising that may reflect interests. We use the information for these operational purposes, not to create official records.
External Links and Advertising
Pages link to government rosters, sheriff and corrections pages, court portals, local reporting, and third-party search tools. Once a visitor follows an external link, the destination’s privacy practices govern. We do not control that site’s content, availability, or information handling.
Advertising partners may use their own technologies to measure activity across websites or deliver interest-based ads on their systems. Those practices are governed by the partner’s policies.
Who May Receive Data
We do not sell personal information. Data may be processed or disclosed to the limited categories below when needed for the stated purpose.
- Search partners that process a submitted query.
- Analytics services that help evaluate site use.
- Advertising networks that provide or measure ads.
- Government or law-enforcement bodies when a valid legal order requires disclosure.
Security Practices
We use reasonable safeguards intended to protect information in our control. No internet-connected system can guarantee complete security, and no protection measure is breach-proof. Visitors should avoid sending sensitive information unless it is necessary for a legitimate inquiry.
Visitors Under 18
The service is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. A parent or guardian who believes a minor supplied information may request its deletion through the contact route.
Your Privacy Choices
A visitor may request a copy of personal data we hold, ask to correct inaccurate information, request deletion where applicable, or opt out of certain processing. A request can be directed through Get in Touch. We may need enough information to verify the request and comply with legal obligations.
Changes to This Notice
We may revise this Privacy Notice as practices or legal requirements change. A revised version will be posted here with an updated effective date. Continued use after posting means the updated notice applies.
