Information You Provide
A name or location entered in a search box is sent to the outside provider that operates that tool. The site does not retain those search terms on its own systems. Messages sent through a contact route may include an email address and the contents of the message; they are retained to respond or handle the request and are not shared outside the organization except when law requires it.
Automatic Technical Data

- Browser type and version.
- Device type and operating system.
- Pages viewed and time spent on them.
- Referring site, if one is provided.
- Date and time of the visit.
Cookies may help measure use and remember basic settings. A browser can block or clear cookies, though some features may then work differently.
How Information Is Used
Collected information may be used to operate and improve the site, send a search request to the appropriate partner, understand which pages are useful, diagnose technical problems, prevent misuse, and display advertising that may reflect interests. It is not sold as a standalone list of personal information.
Outside Links and Advertising
Links can lead to Sheriff, court, corrections, federal, and search-partner services. Once a visitor leaves this site, the receiving service’s privacy policy controls. Advertising partners may use their own systems to measure activity across websites or tailor advertising; this site does not control their separate practices.
When Data May Be Shared
Information may be available to service providers that perform a function for the site and to government authorities when a valid legal order requires it.
- Search partners processing a submitted query.
- Analytics providers measuring site use.
- Advertising networks serving or measuring ads.
- Law-enforcement or government bodies responding to a lawful demand.
Security and Young Users
Reasonable administrative and technical safeguards are used, but no online system can promise complete security. The site is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from people under 18. A parent or guardian who believes a minor submitted information may ask for its deletion.
Your Choices and Updates
A visitor may ask to see, correct, delete, or limit use of personal information held in connection with a direct message, subject to legal or operational limits. This notice may change as services change. A revised version takes effect when posted.
