Details You Hand Over Yourself
Search Terms
When you type a name or a location into one of the search boxes, that entry travels straight to the outside provider that operates the tool. We do not store or log those search terms on our end, and we never see them ourselves.
Messages You Send Us
An email or a contact-form message is kept only so we can reply to it. Nothing you send is passed around outside this project unless a legal requirement forces disclosure.
Details Gathered as You Browse
Loading a page creates a small technical record. The kinds of details picked up on each visit include:
- your IP address
- the browser you use and its version
- your device type and operating system
- the pages you open and how long you stay on each
- the site that brought you here, when one did
- the date and time of the visit
What About Cookies
Cookies help us understand how visitors move through the site. Your browser settings can block them entirely, though a few features may behave a little differently when cookies are refused.
Purposes Behind the Collection
- keeping the site running and loading quickly
- passing search requests to the correct partner service
- learning which guides readers find useful
- finding and repairing technical problems
- showing advertising that might match your interests
Leaving Through Outbound Links
Plenty of links here lead elsewhere: jail rosters, booking feeds, sheriff and corrections pages, government portals, and third-party search tools. Once you click through, the destination's own privacy policy takes charge of whatever happens next.
Some advertising partners follow activity across multiple websites in order to target ads. That tracking runs on their systems rather than on this one.
Who Might End Up With Your Details
Personal data is never sold here. It can, however, reach a short list of parties:
- search partners that process the queries you run
- analytics services that measure traffic
- advertising networks that serve the ads shown
- law enforcement or government bodies acting under a valid legal order
How We Protect What We Hold
Ordinary, reasonable security measures are in place for the limited data described above. No system connected to the internet is completely secure, though, and no promise of breach-proof protection is offered or implied.
Visitors Under Eighteen
This website is written for adults. Nothing is knowingly collected from anyone under eighteen. If you believe a minor submitted information to us, get in touch and we will delete it.
Choices You Have About Your Data
- request a copy of the data connected to you
- have inaccurate details corrected
- ask that your data be erased
- opt out of certain kinds of processing
When This Notice Changes
This notice may be revised from time to time. Any revised version is published on this page alongside a new effective date, so checking back occasionally is the best way to stay current.
