Information You Enter
Search terms
Anything typed into a search tool, like a name or a location, goes straight to the third party that runs the tool. The site itself keeps no log of those terms. Nothing is stored on its own systems. There is no local trail of what visitors looked for or when.
Messages and contact details
Email and contact messages are a bit different. The message, plus the details sent with it, is kept just long enough to be read and answered. It is not passed along to anyone outside the organization. Disclosure only happens if the law or a valid legal demand requires it.
Technical Data Collected Automatically
Page requests can also generate routine technical data. The site uses it to operate, secure, and better understand the service.
- Internet Protocol address
- Browser name and version
- Device type and operating system
- Pages viewed and time spent on each page
- Referring website, when one is provided
- Date and time stamps
Cookies

Why We Use the Information
Every piece of information collected serves a purpose listed here. That includes keeping the service running, routing searches, measuring the audience, and protecting the site from misuse. Uses beyond these purposes are off the table.
- Keep the pages available, stable, and reasonably fast.
- Send a search request to the partner service selected for that tool.
- Learn which pages are useful to visitors.
- Find errors, abuse, and technical faults so they can be addressed.
- Display advertising that may relate to a visitor's interests.
Links and Advertising Outside the Site
Pages may link out to jail information, booking resources, sheriff or corrections agencies, government portals, and independent search tools. The moment a visitor follows one of those links, a different set of rules takes over. The destination's own privacy notice governs whatever happens next. This site has no control over those outside services.
Advertising partners sometimes track activity across multiple websites to select the ads a visitor sees. That tracking happens on the partners' systems. It is not a promise that the county or any government agency receives the information.
Who May Receive Information
This site does not sell personal information. Still, the recipients listed below may handle it when a listed use requires it or when the law demands it.
- Search partners that process submitted search queries.
- Analytics providers that measure page use.
- Advertising networks and their service providers.
- Law-enforcement or government bodies responding to a valid legal order or other lawful demand.
Security Practices
Reasonable, standard safeguards protect the information handled directly. But no internet-connected system is fully secure. For that reason, the site cannot promise data will never be accessed, lost, altered, or exposed.
Visitors Under 18
The service is meant for adults. It does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If a minor has submitted personal details, a parent or guardian can visit the Get in Touch page and request deletion.
Requests About Your Data
Within applicable limits, a person can ask what information is held about them and request action on it. The Get in Touch page is the place to start.
- Ask for a copy of information held directly.
- Ask that inaccurate information be corrected.
- Ask for deletion where retention is not required.
- Ask to opt out of certain processing, such as some analytics or advertising activity.
Changes to This Notice
This notice may change over time. Revisions happen when the service, its vendors, or legal requirements shift. A new version will be posted here with a fresh effective date. Continued use after an update means the revised practices govern future visits.
