Information You Provide
Search-tool entries
A name, location, or other term entered into a search tool is sent to the third-party provider that operates that tool. We do not retain or log those search terms on our own systems.
Messages sent to us
If you email us or send a contact message, we keep the information needed to respond. We do not share message content outside our organization unless a legal requirement calls for disclosure.

Cookies
Cookies help us understand how visitors use the site. You can limit or block them through browser settings, although some features may work differently when cookies are unavailable.
How We Use Information
We use collected information for ordinary operation and improvement of the site.
- To keep pages available and responsive.
- To send a search request to the provider selected by the tool.
- To learn which information visitors use.
- To identify and resolve technical problems.
- To display advertising that may be based on interests.
Outside Services and Links
Links may lead to official jail rosters, sheriff and corrections pages, court portals, government resources, or third-party search tools. Once you follow a link, the receiving site’s privacy policy and practices apply to activity there.
Advertising partners may measure activity across websites for interest-based advertising on their own systems. Their collection and use of data are governed by their own notices, not this one.
Parties That May Receive Data
We do not sell personal information. Information may nevertheless be shared with the limited categories below when needed for the stated purpose or required by law.
- Search partners that process a query entered into their tool.
- Analytics providers that help measure site use.
- Advertising networks that deliver or measure advertising.
- Law-enforcement agencies or government bodies responding to a valid legal order.
Security Practices
We use reasonable standard safeguards intended to protect information. No internet-connected service can promise complete security, so we cannot guarantee that a transmission, stored item, or system will never be accessed, changed, or lost without authorization.
Visitors Under 18
This site is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone younger than 18. If a minor has sent us information, contact us so that we can review and delete it where appropriate.

- A copy of the personal information we maintain about you.
- Correction of information that is inaccurate.
- Deletion of information where deletion is available.
- Opting out of certain processing where that choice applies.
Changes to This Notice
We may revise this Privacy Notice as the service or applicable practices change. A revised version will be posted here with an updated effective date and will apply when posted.
