Cookies

Cookies help measure how visitors use the site and may support basic site functions. Browser settings can block or delete cookies, although doing so can change how some features work.


How Information Is Used

Collected information may be used to operate and improve the site, direct a search request to the applicable partner, understand which pages are useful, diagnose technical problems, and display advertising that may be relevant to a visitor’s interests.


Outside Websites and Ads

The site links to jail rosters, sheriff and corrections pages, court portals, government resources, and third-party search tools. Their privacy rules apply once you leave this site. Advertising partners may also track activity across sites on their own systems for interest-based advertising.


Who May Receive Data

Personal information is not sold. It can be processed by search partners that handle a query, analytics providers, ad networks, or public authorities when a valid legal order requires disclosure.


Security and Age Limits

Reasonable safeguards are used to protect information, but no internet-connected system can guarantee complete security. The site is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect information from anyone under 18. Contact the site if a minor has submitted personal information so it can be reviewed for deletion.


Your Choices

You may request a copy of personal information held about you, correct inaccurate information, ask for deletion where applicable, or opt out of certain processing. Contact the site with enough detail to identify the request.


Changes to This Notice

This notice may be revised as the site changes. An updated version takes effect when it is posted here.
