Information You Provide
Search terms
If you type a name, location, or other search term into a search tool, that query is sent to the third-party provider that operates the tool. This site does not keep its own separate log of those search terms.
Messages
If you email us or send a contact message, we may keep the message long enough to review it, respond, and maintain a basic record of the communication. We do not share those messages outside the organization unless a valid legal requirement applies.
Automatic Technical Data
Like most websites, this site may receive basic technical data when a page loads. That information helps with uptime, page performance, fraud prevention, and troubleshooting.
- IP address
- Browser type and version
- Device type and operating system
- Pages viewed and time spent on pages
- Referring website, when available
- Date and time stamps
Cookies
Cookies and similar tools may be used to understand site traffic and usage patterns. You can block cookies in your browser settings, but some site functions or partner tools may not work the same way.
How Data Is Used
- To keep the site available and responsive
- To route search requests to the proper search partner
- To understand which pages visitors use
- To detect and repair technical problems
- To display advertising that may be based on broad interests
External Websites
This site links to sheriff, court, CDCR, VINE, BOP, ICE, and other public or third-party resources. After you leave this site, the other website's privacy policy and terms control how your information is handled.
Advertising partners may also use their own systems to measure ad views, ad clicks, and activity across websites. Those practices occur on their systems, not under this site's direct control.
Who May Receive Data
We do not sell personal messages or contact details. Limited information may be shared with service providers or legal authorities when needed.
- Search partners that process lookup requests
- Analytics providers that measure site use
- Advertising networks that serve or measure ads
- Law enforcement or government bodies when required by a valid legal order
Security Practices
Reasonable security practices are used to protect information handled by the site. No internet-connected service can be guaranteed breach-proof, so security is handled as a best-effort obligation rather than an absolute promise.
