Information You Share With Us
What You Type Into a Search
When you enter a name or a place into one of the search tools featured on this site, that text is passed straight to the outside company that operates the tool. We do not keep a copy of your search words, and we do not log them on our own servers. The provider running the search handles that request under its own rules.
Emails and Form Messages
If you write to us by email or send a message through a contact form, we hold on to what you send only long enough to read it and write back. Your message stays inside our organization. We will not hand it to anyone else unless the law requires us to do so.
Information Collected on Its Own
Like most websites, ours records a handful of technical details each time a page loads. This happens in the background and does not depend on you filling anything out. The items we may pick up include the following.
- The IP address assigned to your connection
- The web browser you use and its version number
- The kind of device you are on and its operating system
- Which pages you open and how long you stay on each one
- The website that sent you here, when one exists
- The dates and times of your visits
Cookies
We use cookies to understand how people move through the site. You can turn them off through your browser settings whenever you like. Keep in mind that blocking cookies may cause certain parts of the site to act differently than they normally would.
Why We Use This Information
- To keep the site online and loading quickly
- To send your search requests to the correct partner service
- To figure out which pages visitors find helpful
- To spot technical problems and repair them
- To display ads that may line up with your interests
Links That Lead Off Our Site
This site points you toward jail rosters, sheriff and corrections pages, official government portals, and third-party search tools. Once you click a link and leave us, the privacy policy of that other website takes over. We have no say in how those outside sites collect or use your information, so it is worth reading their terms.
A few advertising partners may follow what you do across different websites in order to serve ads aimed at you. That tracking takes place on their systems, not on ours.
Who May Receive Your Information
We do not sell your personal information to anyone. In the course of running the site, your data may still reach the parties listed here.
- Search partners that process the queries you submit
- Analytics providers that measure site usage
- Advertising networks
- Law enforcement or other government bodies acting under a valid legal order
Keeping Your Information Safe
We follow accepted security measures to guard the information we handle. Even so, no system connected to the internet can ever be made perfectly secure. For that reason, we cannot promise that your data will never be exposed, and we make no guarantee against every possible breach.
Visitors Younger Than 18
This website is meant for adults. We do not knowingly gather information from anyone under the age of 18. If you believe a minor has sent us personal details, reach out to us and we will remove that information.
The Rights You Have
- Ask for a copy of the information we hold about you
- Have inaccurate information corrected
- Ask us to delete your information
- Opt out of certain kinds of processing
Florida keeps many records open to the public under Chapter 119 of the Florida Statutes, including sections such as F.S. 119.011 and F.S. 119.07. Material that is already a public record under that law may stay available through the originating agency even after you contact us.
Changes to This Notice
We may revise this policy from time to time. When we do, the updated version will appear on this page along with a fresh effective date. Checking back now and then is the best way to stay aware of how we handle your information.
