Information You Provide
Search Queries
When you enter a name, location, or other search term into a search feature, the query is sent to the third-party provider that operates that feature. We do not store or log those search terms on our own systems.
Messages
If you send us an email or submit a message, we may keep the information needed to respond and maintain the correspondence. We do not share message content outside our organization unless disclosure is required by law.
Technical Information
Like most websites, our systems and service providers may collect routine technical information when a page loads, including:
- Internet protocol address.
- Browser type, browser version, device type, and operating system.
- Pages viewed, time spent on pages, referring site, and timestamps.
- Diagnostic information needed to operate, protect, and improve the site.
Cookies
Cookies and similar technologies help us understand site use and support basic site functions. You may block or delete cookies through browser controls, although some features may then work differently.
How We Use Data
- Operate, secure, maintain, and improve the site.
- Route a search request to the provider selected for that feature.
- Understand which pages visitors find useful.
- Detect and address errors, misuse, and technical problems.
- Display advertising that may be based on interests through advertising partners.
Outside Sites and Ads
The site links to official government pages, jail rosters, court resources, corrections sites, and third-party search features. Once you follow a link, that destination’s privacy practices apply. We do not control the data practices, availability, or content of an outside site.
Advertising partners may use their own systems to measure activity across websites and present interest-based advertising. That activity is governed by the partner’s policy, not this notice.
When Data Is Shared
We do not sell personal information. Information may be made available only as needed to the following recipients:
- Search providers that receive a submitted query.
- Analytics providers that help measure site performance.
- Advertising networks that serve or measure advertising.
- Law-enforcement or government bodies when a valid legal order requires disclosure.
Data Security
We use reasonable administrative and technical safeguards intended to protect information in our care. No internet-connected service can guarantee complete security, and no safeguard should be understood as breach-proof.
Visitors Under 18
This site is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If you believe a minor has provided information to us, contact us through Contacts so we can address the request.
Your Privacy Choices
Subject to applicable law, you may ask us to:
- Provide a copy of personal information we hold about you.
- Correct inaccurate personal information.
- Delete personal information when appropriate.
- Stop certain processing where that option is available.
Send a request through Contacts. We may need information that reasonably verifies the request before acting on it.
Changes to This Notice
We may revise this Privacy Notice as our practices or applicable requirements change. A revised notice takes effect when posted here, with the posting serving as the notice of the update.
