Data You Give Us Directly
Search Queries
When you type a name or a location into a search tool on the site, that text 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 pass it outside our organization unless the law requires us to.
Data We Gather Automatically
Like most websites, ours 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 open and how long you spend on each.
- The site that referred you, if there was one.
- Date and time stamps.
Cookies
We use cookies to understand how visitors move through the site. Your browser settings can block them, though some features may behave differently if you do.
What We Do With This Data

- Learn which pages people find useful.
- Spot and fix technical problems.

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, that destination's own privacy policy governs what happens to your information.
Some advertising partners may track activity across different sites to target ads. That tracking happens on their systems, not ours.

- 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 information we handle. Even so, no system connected to the internet is ever fully secure, and we cannot promise a breach can never happen.
Users Under 18
