Information You Give Us Directly
Search Queries
When you type a name or a place into a search tool, that query is handed to the third-party provider that operates the tool. We do not store or log those search terms on our own systems; the provider receives them so it can run the search.
Messages You Send
If you email us or send a message through a contact channel, we keep what you wrote so we can reply. We do not pass those messages to anyone outside our operation unless the law requires it.
Information Collected Automatically
Like most websites, ours records a few technical details each time a page loads. These help the site run and show how it is used.
- 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 your visit
Cookies
We use cookies to understand how visitors move through the site. You can block or delete them in your browser settings, though a few features may behave differently if you do.
How We Use This Information
- To keep the site running and loading quickly
- To route a search request to the right partner service
- To learn which pages people find useful
- To spot and fix technical problems
- To show advertising that may match your interests
Links to Other Websites
This 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 data, not ours.
Some advertising partners may track activity across different sites to target ads. That tracking happens on their systems, not on ours.

We do not sell personal data. It may reach the following parties in the normal course of running the site.
- Search partners that handle the queries you submit
- Analytics services that measure site use
- Advertising networks
- Law enforcement or government bodies acting under a valid legal order
How We Protect Your Information
We follow standard security practices to guard the data we handle. Still, no system connected to the internet is ever fully secure, 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 data, contact us and we will remove it.
