Cookie choices
Cookies may be used to understand site use and support basic functionality. A browser can block or remove cookies, although some features may then work differently.
How Information Is Used
Collected information is used to run and improve the service, direct search requests to the appropriate partner, understand which information is useful, correct technical issues, and present advertising that may be relevant to a visitor's interests.
External Services
The site links to sheriff, jail, police, court, corrections, news, and third-party search resources. Once a visitor follows an outside link, that provider's privacy practices control. Some advertising partners may collect activity across websites on their own systems for interest-based advertising.
Possible Recipients
Personal information is not sold. Depending on how the service is used, it may be shared with the following parties.
- Search partners that process a submitted query
- Analytics providers that measure site use
- Advertising networks that serve ads
- Law-enforcement or government bodies responding to a valid legal order
Security Practices
Reasonable administrative and technical safeguards are used to protect information. No internet-connected system can promise complete security, so no breach-proof guarantee is made.
Visitors Under Eighteen
This service is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from people under 18. If a minor has submitted information, a parent or guardian may request its removal through the contact route.
Your Privacy Choices
Subject to applicable law, a visitor may ask for a copy of information held about them, request correction of inaccurate information, request deletion, or opt out of certain processing. Requests will be reviewed in light of legal and operational obligations.
Changes to This Notice
This Privacy Notice can change as the service or legal requirements change. An updated version will be posted here with a revised effective date.
