Information You Give Directly
Search Terms
When you type a name or a place into one of the search tools, that text goes to the third-party provider that runs the tool. The site does not store or log those search terms on its own end.
Messages You Send
If you email or send a message through a contact channel, it is kept only to reply to you. It is not shared outside the organization unless the law requires it.

- Device type and operating system
- Pages viewed and time spent on each
- The site that referred you, if any

Links to Other Websites
The site links out to jail rosters, sheriff and corrections pages, government portals like the clerk's court search, and third-party search tools. Once you click through, that site's own privacy policy governs what it collects.
Some advertising partners may track activity across different sites to show targeted ads. That tracking happens on their systems, not this one.
