Information You Submit
Queries Sent Through Search
A name, place, or other term entered in a search box goes to the outside provider operating that tool. We do not keep our own log of those query terms. The provider's privacy terms govern its handling.
Messages Sent to Us
Email and contact messages are retained as needed to answer. They are not shared outside the organization unless disclosure is required by law or a valid legal order.

Cookie Use
Cookies help show how visitors use the site. Browser settings can reject or delete them, although some features may then behave differently.
Reasons We Use Data
Collected information supports routine operation and improvement.
- Maintain function and page speed

- Measure which pages are useful
- Find and repair technical faults
- Display ads that may match visitor interests
Privacy on Linked Services
Links lead to sheriff, jail, court, corrections, federal and immigration locators, government portals, news sources, and outside search tools. The destination's privacy policy controls after a visitor follows a link.
Advertising partners may use their systems to recognize activity across sites and choose interest-based ads. That processing occurs under the partner's practices.
Parties That May Receive Data
We do not sell personal information. Limited data may reach these parties when needed or lawfully required.
- Search partners processing queries
- Analytics providers measuring use
- Advertising networks serving ads
- Law-enforcement or government bodies acting under a valid legal order
Security Has Practical Limits
Reasonable, commonly used safeguards protect information under our control. No website, network, transmission, or storage method is fully secure, so a breach-proof guarantee is impossible.
Visitors Must Be Adults
The site is for people age 18 or older. We do not knowingly collect a minor's personal data. A parent or guardian who believes a minor submitted information may request deletion through the Get in Touch page.
Your Privacy Choices
Rights vary by location and applicable law. Subject to those limits, a person may ask us to:
- Provide a copy of data held
- Correct inaccurate information
- Delete eligible information
- Stop certain processing where an opt-out right applies
