Information You Provide
Search terms
A name or place entered into a search tool is sent to the third-party provider that operates that tool. This site does not keep a separate log of those search terms.
Messages
If a visitor sends an email or contact message, the information in that message may be retained to respond. It is not shared outside the organization unless a legal requirement calls for disclosure.

Cookies
Cookies and similar tools may help show how visitors use the service. Browser settings can limit or block cookies, although some functions may then work differently.

External Services and Links
This reference links to county roster pages, sheriff and jail contacts, court sources, corrections locators, government portals, and third-party search tools. Once a visitor follows an external link, that organization’s privacy terms apply to activity there.

Personal information is not sold. It may be handled by the limited recipients needed to operate the service or comply with law.
- Search partners that process a submitted query
- Analytics providers
- Advertising networks
- Government or law-enforcement bodies responding to a valid legal order
Reasonable Safeguards
Reasonable security measures are used to protect information, but no internet-connected system can guarantee complete security. Visitors should avoid sending unnecessary sensitive material through a contact message.
Visitors Under 18
This service is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from people under 18. A parent or guardian who believes a minor submitted information may request its deletion through the contacts page.
Your Choices
A visitor may ask about information retained from a contact message or make the following requests.
- Request a copy of retained personal data

- Ask for deletion where appropriate
- Opt out of certain processing where that option applies
