Information You Provide Directly
Search Terms
When you type a name or a place into one of the search tools on this site, that text is sent to the third-party company that operates the tool. We do not keep or log those search terms on our own end. The provider that runs the search handles them under its own rules.
Messages You Send Us
If you email us or fill out a contact form, we hold on to that message so we can write back. We do not pass it to anyone outside our organization unless the law requires us to do so.
Information Collected Automatically
Like most websites, this one records a few technical details each time a page loads. These details are routine and help the site run.
- Your IP address
- The browser you use and its version
- Your device type and operating system
- Which pages you open and how long you stay on each
- The site that referred you, if there was one
- The date and time of your visit
Cookies
Small files called cookies help us see how visitors move through the site. You can turn cookies off in your browser settings if you prefer. Keep in mind that a few features may work differently once cookies are blocked.
How the Data Is Used
The information above serves a handful of practical purposes. None of it is used to pry into who you are.
- To keep the site online and loading quickly
- To send your search requests to the correct partner service
- To learn which pages visitors find useful
- To spot and repair technical problems
- To display ads that may line up with your interests
Links to Other Websites
This site points to many outside pages, including jail rosters, sheriff and corrections websites, government portals, and third-party search tools. Once you click through to any of them, you leave this site and their own privacy policy takes over. We have no say in how those sites handle your data.
Some advertising partners may follow your activity across different websites to serve you targeted ads. That tracking happens on their systems, not on ours.
Who Might Receive Your Data
We do not sell your personal information. In the normal course of running the site, it may reach the following parties.
- Search partners that process the queries you submit
- Analytics services that measure site traffic
- Advertising networks
- Law enforcement or government bodies when they present a valid legal order
How Your Data Is Protected
We follow standard security measures to guard the information we handle. Still, no system connected to the internet can ever be fully secure. For that reason we cannot promise that data will never be exposed in a breach.
Visitors Under 18
This site is meant for adults. We do not knowingly gather information from anyone under the age of 18. If you believe a minor has submitted data to us, contact us and we will remove it.
Your Rights Over Your Data
Depending on where you live, you may have certain rights regarding the information we hold. Florida residents can also rely on the state's open-government framework, including the Florida Public Records Act in Chapter 119 of the Florida Statutes, when dealing with the public agencies this site points to.
- 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
This policy may change over time. When it does, the updated version will be posted here with a new effective date. Checking back now and then is the best way to stay current.
