Data You Give Us Directly
Search Queries
When you type a name or location into a search tool on the 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 own end.
Messages You Send
If you email us or send a message through a contact form, we keep it only to reply. We do not pass it to anyone outside our organization unless the law requires us to.
Data We Gather Automatically
Like most websites, ours records some technical details each time a page loads.
- Your IP address.
- The browser and version you use.
- Your device type and operating system.
- The pages you open and how long you stay on each.
- The site that referred you, if there was one.
- Date and time stamps for each visit.
Cookies
We use cookies to understand how visitors move through the site. You can block them in your browser settings, though a few features may behave differently if you do.
What We Do With This Data
- Keep the site running and loading quickly.
- Send search requests to the correct partner service.
- Learn which pages people find useful.
- Spot and fix technical problems.
- Show advertising that may fit your interests.
Links to Other Websites
The site links out to jail rosters, sheriff and corrections pages, government portals, and third-party search tools. Once you click through, that destination's own privacy policy governs how it handles your data, not ours.
Some advertising partners may follow your activity across different sites to serve targeted ads. That tracking happens on their systems, not on this one.
Who Might See Your Data
We do not sell personal data. It may, however, reach the parties listed below.
- Search partners that handle the queries you submit.
- 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. Even so, no system connected to the internet is fully secure, and we cannot promise that a breach will never happen.
Users Under 18
The site is meant for adults. We do not knowingly collect data from anyone under 18. If you believe a minor sent us information, contact us and we will delete it.
Your Data Rights

- Ask us to correct information that is wrong.
