Information Visitors Submit
Search Terms
When a name, county, location, or other term is entered into a search tool, that query is sent to the third-party provider operating the tool. This site does not store those search terms in its own records.
Messages
If a visitor sends an email or contact message, the message and reply information may be kept long enough to respond and manage the request. Those messages are not shared outside the organization unless disclosure is required by law.
Information Collected Automatically
Basic technical information may be collected when pages load so the site can operate, measure traffic, and resolve errors.
- Internet Protocol address.
- Browser name and version.
- Device category and operating system.
- Pages viewed and time spent on those pages.
- Referring website, when available.
- Date and time of the visit.
Cookies
Cookies may be used to understand how visitors move through the site and to support advertising or analytics features. Browser settings can block or delete cookies, although some tools may work differently when cookies are disabled.
How Information Is Used
- Maintain site performance and availability.

Outside Websites
The site links to sheriff pages, public-record portals, jail and corrections resources, federal locators, court tools, and third-party search providers. Once a visitor follows an outside link, that destination's privacy policy and terms control.
Advertising partners may use their own systems to recognize activity across websites and show interest-based ads. That tracking is handled by those partners, not by this site's own record system.
