Information You Give Us Directly
Search Queries
When you type a name or place into a search tool, that text is sent to the third-party provider that operates the tool. We do not keep or log those search terms on our own systems. What happens to a query after it reaches the provider is governed by that company's own privacy practices.
Messages You Send Us
If you email us or send a message through a contact form, we hold onto it only long enough to reply. We do not share those messages outside our organization unless the law requires it.
Information Collected Automatically
Like most websites, ours records a few technical details each time a page loads. These help us keep the site working and understand how it is used.
- Your IP address
- The browser and version you use
- Your device type and operating system
- Which pages you open and how long you stay
- The site that referred you, if any
- The date and time of each visit
Cookies
We use cookies to see how visitors move through the site. Your browser settings can block or clear them, though a few features may behave differently if you do.
How We Use This Information
- To keep the site running smoothly and quickly
- To pass search requests to the right partner service
- To learn which pages people find useful
- To spot and fix technical problems
- To show advertising that may match your interests
Links to Other Websites
This site links out to jail rosters, sheriff and corrections pages, government portals, and third-party search tools. Once you click through, that destination's own privacy policy takes over, and this one no longer applies.
Some advertising partners may track activity across different sites to serve targeted ads. That tracking happens on their systems, not ours.
Who Might Receive Your Information
We do not sell personal information. It may, however, reach the parties listed here.
- The search partners that handle your queries
- The analytics services we rely on
- Advertising networks
- Law enforcement or government bodies acting under a valid legal order
How We Protect Your Information
We follow standard security practices to guard the data we handle. Even so, no system connected to the internet is ever completely secure, and we cannot promise that a breach will never happen.
Visitors Under 18
This site is meant for adults. We do not knowingly gather information from anyone under 18. If you believe a minor has submitted data to us, contact us and we will remove it.
