Data You Give Us Directly
Search Queries
When you type a name or a location into one of the search tools, that entry passes 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 the query under its own rules.
Messages You Send
If you email us or send a message, we keep it so we can reply. We do not share those messages outside our organization unless the law requires it.
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.
- 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 or delete cookies in your browser settings, though some 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.
- See which pages people find useful.
- Spot and fix technical problems.
- Show ads that may line up with your interests.
Links to Other Websites
We link out to jail rosters, sheriff and corrections pages, government portals, and third-party search tools. Once you click through, that site's own privacy policy takes over, not ours.
Some advertising partners may track activity across different sites to target their ads. That tracking happens on their systems, not on ours.

We do not sell personal data. It may reach the parties listed here.
- 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 standard security practices to guard the information we handle. Even so, no internet-connected system is ever fully secure, and we cannot promise that data will never be reached by someone unauthorized.
