Information You Provide Directly
Search Terms
When you type a name or location into a search tool on the site, that query is passed to the third-party provider that operates the tool. We do not store or log those search terms on our own systems.
Messages You Send Us
If you email us or send a message through a contact form, we keep what you send only so we can reply. We do not share those messages outside our organization unless the law requires it.
Information Collected Automatically
Like most websites, ours records some technical details each time a page loads.
- Your IP address.
- Your browser and its version.
- Your device type and operating system.
- The pages you view and how long you stay on each.
- The site that referred you, if any.
- Date and time stamps.
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 work differently if you do.
How That Information Is Used
- To keep the site running and loading quickly.
- To pass search requests to the correct partner service.
- To learn which pages are actually useful.
- To spot and fix technical problems.
- To show advertising that may match your interests.
Links to Other Websites
The site links out to jail rosters, sheriff and corrections pages, government portals, and third-party search tools. Once you click through, the privacy policy of that destination governs what happens to your information, not this one.
Some advertising partners may track activity across different sites to serve targeted ads. That tracking happens on their systems and is controlled by their policies, not ours.
Who May Receive Your Information
We do not sell your personal information. It may, however, reach the parties below.
- Search partners that process your queries.
- Analytics services that measure site usage.
- Advertising networks.
- Law enforcement or government bodies acting under a valid legal order.
How We Protect Your Information
We use reasonable, standard security measures to safeguard the data we handle. No system connected to the internet is ever fully secure, though, so we cannot promise that a breach will never happen.
Visitors Under 18
This site is meant for adults. We do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 18. If a minor has submitted information, contact us and we will delete it.
Your Rights Over Your Data
Depending on where you live, you may be able to do the following, and Florida's consumer-protection framework under Chapter 501 supports fair handling of personal information.
- Ask for a copy of the data we hold about you.
- Ask us to correct information that is wrong.
- Ask us to erase your data.
- Opt out of certain kinds of processing.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this policy from time to time. When we do, the revised version is posted here with a new effective date.
