Data You Give Us Directly
Search Queries
When you type a name or a location into one of the search tools on this site, that text is sent to the third-party provider that runs the tool. We do not store or keep a log of 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 so we can reply. We do not pass those messages to outside parties unless the law requires it.

- Your device type and operating system
- The pages you open and how long you stay on each
- The site that referred you, if any
- The date and time of each visit

Links to Other Websites
This site links out to jail rosters, sheriff and corrections pages, government court portals, and third-party search tools. Once you click through, the privacy policy of that other site governs what happens to your data.
Some advertising partners may track activity across different websites to target ads. That tracking happens on their systems, not on ours.
