Data You Give Us Directly
Search Queries
When you type a name or location into a search tool on this site, that query is passed to the third-party provider that runs the tool. We do not store or log those search terms on our own end.
Messages You Send
If you email us or send a message through a contact form, we keep it only to reply. We do not share it outside our organization unless the law requires it.
Data We Gather Automatically
Like most websites, this site records some technical details each time a page loads.
- Your IP address
- Your browser and its version
- Your device type and operating system
- The pages you visit and how long you stay
- The site that referred you, if any
- Date and time stamps
Cookies
We use cookies to understand how visitors use the site. You can block cookies in your browser settings, though some features may behave differently if you do.
What We Do With This Data
- Keep the site running and loading quickly

- Learn which pages are useful to visitors
- Find and fix technical problems
- Show ads that may match your interests
Links to Other Websites
This site links to jail rosters, sheriff and corrections pages, government portals, and third-party search tools. Once you click through, the privacy policy of that destination governs your visit, not ours.
Some advertising partners may track activity across different sites to show targeted ads. That tracking happens on their systems, not on this one.
Who Might See Your Data
We do not sell personal data. It may reach the parties listed below in the normal course of running the site.
- Search partners that handle your queries
- Analytics services
- Advertising networks
- Law enforcement or government bodies acting under a valid legal order
How We Protect Your Data
We follow standard security practices to guard the limited data we handle. Even so, no internet-connected system is fully secure, and we cannot promise that data is completely breach-proof.
Users Under 18
This site is meant for adults. We do not knowingly collect data from anyone under 18. If a minor has submitted information, contact us and we will delete it.
