Information You Provide
Search-tool entries
A name, location, or other text entered into a search tool is submitted to the third-party provider operating that tool. The site does not store or log those search terms on its own systems. The provider’s own notice and terms govern the information it receives.
Messages
If you send a message to this site, we may retain the contact information and contents needed to respond or administer the request. We do not share those messages outside our organization unless disclosure is required by law.

- device type and operating system;
- pages viewed and time spent on pages;
- the referring site, when available; and
- dates and times of visits.
Cookies
Cookies and similar technologies help us understand site use and maintain basic functionality. You can block or remove cookies through browser settings, but some features may behave differently when cookies are disabled.
How Information Is Used
Information collected through normal site use is used for the limited operational purposes below.
- To operate, maintain, and improve the site;

External Sites and Advertising
Pages may link to sheriff rosters, courts, corrections resources, federal locators, news sources, and independent search tools. Once you follow an external link, that site’s privacy practices apply. Review its notice before submitting information.
Advertising providers may use their own technologies to recognize activity across websites and deliver interest-based advertising. That activity occurs under the provider’s systems and policies, not as a substitute for this notice.

Data Security
We use reasonable administrative and technical safeguards intended to protect information in our control. No internet-connected service can guarantee complete security, however, and we cannot promise that an unauthorized access or transmission will never occur.
