Information Given Directly
Search requests
A name or location entered into a search tool is sent to the third-party provider that operates that tool. The service does not keep or log those search terms on its own systems. The provider’s policy controls its handling of the query after it receives it.
Messages
An email or contact submission may be retained so that a response can be made. It is not shared outside the organization unless disclosure is required by law or necessary to address the message.
Technical Data Collected
Like most online services, server and analytics tools may receive limited technical details during a page visit. This data helps keep the service usable and identify technical problems.
- IP address and approximate network location.
- Browser type, browser version, and language setting.
- Device type and operating system.
- Pages viewed and the time spent on them.
- Referring page or service, when available.
- Visit dates and timestamps.
Cookies
Cookies and similar tools may be used to understand general site use and support advertising or analytics. Browser settings can block or remove cookies, though some page features may behave differently.
How Data Is Used
Collected technical or contact information is used for ordinary service operation, communications, and improvement.
- Operate, secure, and maintain the service.
- Send a search request to the selected partner tool.
- Understand which information visitors find useful.
- Diagnose errors and improve performance.
- Support advertising that may be based on interests.
Outside Links and Services
The service links to sheriff, corrections, jail, court, state, federal, archive, and other public-record resources. It may also link to third-party search services. Once a visitor follows a link, the destination’s privacy policy governs the information collected there.
Advertising partners may use their own technologies to measure activity across sites or tailor advertising. Their activity occurs under their own terms and controls, not under this notice.
Who May Receive Data
Personal information is not sold as a separate product. It can be processed by limited categories of recipients when needed for the service or when a valid legal requirement applies.
- Search partners that receive a submitted query.
- Analytics providers that measure service use.
- Advertising networks that deliver or measure ads.
- Government or law-enforcement bodies acting under a valid legal process.
Security Practices
Reasonable administrative and technical safeguards are used to protect information. No online system is completely secure, and the service cannot guarantee that unauthorized access will never occur.
Visitors Under Eighteen
This service is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under eighteen. A parent or guardian who believes a minor submitted information may contact the service to request deletion.
Data Choices
A visitor may ask about personal information held through a direct contact message. Subject to applicable law, requests can include the following:
- A copy of information held about the requester.
- Correction of inaccurate information.
- Deletion of information where appropriate.
- Opting out of certain processing where that choice is available.
Policy Changes
This notice may be revised as the service or its practices change. Any revised version will be posted here with a current effective date.
