Information You Provide Directly
Search Queries
When you type a name or location into a search tool on the site, that query is passed to the third-party provider that runs the tool. The search terms are handled on the provider's end, and this site does not store or log them on its own servers.
Messages You Send
If you email us or send a message through a contact form, we keep what you send so we can reply. We do not share those messages outside the organization unless the law requires it.
Information Collected Automatically
Like most websites, this one records some technical details each time a page loads. That data is used to keep the site working and to understand general usage.
- Your IP address.
- The browser and version you use.
- Your device type and operating system.
- The pages you view and how long you stay on each.
- The site that referred you, if any.
- Date and time stamps.
Cookies
Cookies help us see how visitors move through the site. You can block or delete them in your browser settings, though some features may behave differently if you do.
How This Information Is Used
- To keep the site running and loading quickly.
- To pass search requests to the correct partner service.
- To learn which pages are useful to visitors.
- To spot and fix technical problems.
- To show 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 destination's own privacy policy governs what happens to your information, not this one.
Some advertising partners may track activity across different sites to serve targeted ads. That tracking happens on their systems, not on this one.
Who May Receive Your Information
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 usage.
- Advertising networks.
- Law enforcement or government bodies acting under a valid legal order.
How We Protect Your Information
We follow reasonable, standard security practices to guard the data we handle. No internet-connected system is ever fully secure, though, so we cannot promise that a breach will never happen.
Visitors Under 18
This site is meant for adults. We do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 18. If you believe a minor has submitted data, contact us and we will remove it.
Your Choices and Rights
- Ask for a copy of the data we hold about you.

Changes to This Policy
This policy can change over time. When it does, the updated version is posted here with a new effective date, and continued use of the site means the new terms apply.
