Data You Give Us Directly
Search Queries
When you type a name or place into one of the search tools, that text goes to the third-party provider that runs the tool. We do not store or log those search terms on our own end. The provider handles them under its own rules.
Messages You Send
If you email us or send a message through a contact channel, we keep it so we can reply. We do not pass it to anyone outside our operation unless the law requires it.
Data We Gather Automatically
Like most websites, ours records a few technical details each time a page loads. These help the site run and show how it is used.
- Your IP address
- Your browser and its version
- Your device type and operating system
- The pages you visit and how long you stay
- The site that referred you, if any
- The date and time of each visit
Cookies
We use cookies to understand how visitors move through the site. You can block them in your browser settings. If you do, some features may behave a little differently.
What We Do With This Data
- Keep the site running and quick to load
- Send search requests to the right partner service
- Learn which pages people find useful
- Spot and fix technical problems
- Show ads that may match a visitor's interests
Links to Other Websites
The site links out to jail lists, sheriff and corrections pages, government portals, and third-party search tools. Once you click through, the privacy policy of that other site takes over, not ours.
Some advertising partners may follow activity across different sites to target ads. That tracking happens on their systems, not on ours.
Who Might See Your Data
We do not sell personal data. It may reach the parties below in the course of running the site.
- Search partners that handle your queries
- 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 reasonable, standard security practices. Even so, no system connected to the internet is ever fully secure, so we cannot promise that data can never be reached by someone who should not have it.
Users Under 18
The site is meant for adults. We do not knowingly gather data from anyone under 18. If a minor has submitted information, contact us and we will remove it.
