Information supplied directly
Search terms
A name or location entered into a search tool is sent to the provider operating that tool. The site does not store those terms on its own systems.
Messages
Messages or emails are retained to respond. They are not shared outside the organization unless disclosure is legally required.
Automatic technical data
Page activity can generate an IP address, browser and version, device and operating-system details, pages viewed, time on page, referring source, and timestamps. Cookies help understand use of the site; browser controls can block them, although some features may work differently.
How information is used
Technical and message data can help operate the site, route a search to a partner, understand useful pages, resolve errors, and support advertising that may reflect interests. The site does not sell personal data.
Links and recipients
External jail, court, sheriff, corrections, and search-provider links are governed by their own policies after a visitor leaves this site. Search providers, analytics services, advertising networks, and a government body acting under a valid legal order may receive information in the ordinary course of their services.
Security and choices
Reasonable safeguards are used, but no online system can promise perfect security. The site is not intended for people under 18 and does not knowingly collect their data. A visitor may ask for access, correction, deletion, or an opt-out from certain processing. This notice can change, with the updated version posted here.
