Information You Give Us Directly
Search Queries
When you type a name or location into a search tool on the site, that entry is passed to the third-party provider that operates the search. We do not store or log those search terms on our own systems. The provider's own privacy practices govern what it does with the query once you submit it.
Messages You Send
If you email us or send a message through a contact form, we keep that message only to reply to you. We do not share it outside our organization unless the law requires it.
Information We Collect Automatically
Like most websites, ours records some technical details each time a page loads. This information is not used to personally identify you and helps keep the site working.
- Your IP address
- The browser and version you use
- Your device type and operating system
- The pages you open and how long you stay
- The site that referred you, if any
- The date and time of your visit
Cookies
We use cookies to understand how visitors move through the site. You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings, though some features may work differently if you do.
How We Use This Information
- To keep the site running and loading quickly
- To pass search requests to the correct partner service
- To learn which pages people find useful
- To find and fix technical problems
- To display advertising that may match a visitor's interests
Links to Other Websites
The site links out to jail rosters, sheriff and corrections pages, government portals, and third-party search tools. Once you click through, the privacy policy of that other site governs how it handles your information.
Some advertising partners may track activity across different websites to serve targeted ads. That tracking happens on their systems, not ours.

We do not sell personal information. It may, however, reach the parties listed below in the normal course of running the site.
- Search partners that process your queries
- Analytics services that measure site use
- Advertising networks
- Law enforcement or government bodies acting under a valid legal order
How We Protect Your Information
We follow standard security practices to guard the information handled through the site. No internet-connected system is ever fully secure, though, so we cannot promise that data will never be exposed.
Visitors Under 18
This site is meant for adults, and we do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 18. If you believe a minor has submitted information, contact us and we will remove it.
