Information You Submit

Search entries

A name or location entered in a search box passes to the outside provider that operates the tool. We do not keep or log those search terms on our systems.

Messages

We retain email or contact-form messages as needed to answer them. Messages are not shared outside the organization unless disclosure is required by law.


Technical Visit Data

Standard logs and analytics may receive the following details when a page loads:

  • Internet Protocol address;
  • browser name and version;
  • device type and operating system;
  • pages viewed and time spent;
  • referring page, when supplied; and
  • visit timestamps.

Cookies

Cookies help measure how visitors use the site. A browser can block or remove cookies, though some functions may then behave differently.


How Information Is Used

Information is used only for site operation, measurement, partner routing, and relevant advertising.

  • Operate and improve site performance.
  • Send a submitted search to the selected provider.
  • Measure which pages are useful.
  • Detect and repair technical faults.
  • Display advertising that may reflect visitor interests.

Outside Sites and Advertising

Links may lead to sheriff and corrections pages, government portals, release-record sources, and outside search tools. The destination’s privacy policy applies after a visitor leaves this site.

Advertising providers may measure activity across websites to select ads. That tracking occurs on their systems and under their rules.


Limited Data Recipients

We do not sell personal data. Information may be handled by these limited recipients:

  • Search providers processing a query;
  • analytics vendors;
  • advertising networks; and
  • law-enforcement or government bodies acting under a valid legal order.

Reasonable Security Measures

We use ordinary safeguards suited to the information handled. No internet-connected service is completely secure, so we cannot promise that a breach will never occur.


Adults Only

The site is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect information from anyone under 18. Contact us to request deletion if a minor submitted personal data.


Your Privacy Choices

Rights vary by applicable law. A person may ask us to:

  • provide a copy of personal data we hold;
  • correct inaccurate information;
  • erase eligible data; or
  • stop certain processing where the law provides that choice.
