Search entries
A name or location entered into a search box is sent to the independent provider operating that tool. This service does not retain those search terms on its own systems.
Messages
Emails or messages sent to this service may be kept long enough to answer or manage the request. They are not shared outside the organization unless disclosure is legally required.
Technical data and cookies
Like most web services, technical information may be collected when a page loads. This can include:
- an IP address;
- browser type and version;
- device type and operating system;
- pages viewed and time spent on them;
- a referring page, if one was supplied; and
- visit timestamps.
Cookie choices
Cookies help measure page use and support normal site functions. A visitor can limit or block cookies through browser settings, although some features may then work differently.
Why data is used
Technical and message information is used to operate and improve the service. It may help:
- keep pages available and responsive;
- pass a search request to the selected partner;
- understand which resources readers use;
- identify and correct technical faults; and
- display advertising that may be relevant to a visitor’s interests.
External destinations
Links may take a visitor to jail rosters, booking resources, sheriff or corrections pages, government portals, and third-party search tools. Once a visitor leaves this service, the receiving organization’s privacy practices apply.
Advertising providers may also collect activity across websites using their own systems. This service does not control those systems or their policies.
Who may receive information
Personal information is not sold by this service. Limited data may be handled by the following parties when needed:
- search partners processing a submitted search;
- analytics providers;
- advertising networks; and
- law-enforcement or government bodies responding to a valid legal order.
Security limits
Reasonable administrative and technical safeguards are used, but no internet-connected system can guarantee complete security. A visitor should avoid sending sensitive material through an unsecured method.
Visitors under 18
This service is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. A parent or guardian who believes a minor submitted information may request its deletion.
Choices about personal data
A visitor may ask to:
- receive a copy of personal data held by the service;
- correct information that is inaccurate;
- request deletion where appropriate; or
- opt out of certain processing where that option is available.
