Data You Give Us Directly
Search Queries
When you type a name or place into a search tool on this 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 end. The provider handles them under its own privacy practices.
Messages You Send Us
If you email us or use a contact form, we keep your message so we can reply. We do not share it outside our organization unless the law requires it.
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 the time spent on each.
- The site that referred you, if any.
- Date and time stamps.
Cookies
We use cookies to understand how visitors move through the site. You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings. If you do, some features may behave differently than intended.
What We Do With This Data
- Keep the site running and loading quickly.
- Route search requests to the correct partner service.
- Learn which pages people find useful.
- Spot and fix technical problems.
- Show ads that may match a visitor's interests.
Links to Other Websites
This 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 what happens to your data, not ours.
Some advertising partners may track activity across different websites to serve targeted ads. That tracking happens on their systems, not on this one.

We do not sell personal data. It may reach the parties below in the normal course of running the site.
- Search partners that handle 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 Data
We follow standard security practices to guard the information we handle. No internet-connected system is ever fully secure, though, so we cannot promise that data will never be exposed.
Users Under 18
This site is meant for adults. We do not knowingly collect data from anyone under 18. If you believe a minor has submitted information, contact us and we will delete it.
