Information You Provide Directly
Search Terms You Enter
When you type a name or a location into one of the search tools, that text is sent to the third-party provider that runs the tool. We do not store or log those search terms on our own end. The provider handles them under its own privacy rules, so it is worth reviewing the policy of any tool you use.
Messages You Send Us
If you email us or fill out a contact message, we keep what you send only so we can reply. We do not share those messages with anyone outside our organization unless the law requires it. Florida's public-records law, found in chapter 119 of the Florida Statutes, applies to government agencies and not to a private site like this one, but we still treat your messages as private and use them only for their purpose.
Information Collected Automatically
Like most websites, our servers and analytics tools record some technical details each time a page loads. None of this identifies you by name. It typically includes:
- Your IP address
- The browser you use and its version
- Your device type and operating system
- The pages you open and how long you stay on each one
- The site that referred you here, if there was one
- The date and time of your visit
Cookies
We use cookies to understand how visitors move through the site. You can turn cookies off in your browser settings at any time. If you block them, most of the site still works, though a few features may behave differently.
How This Information Is Used
The data above helps us run the site and improve it. Specifically, we use it to:
- Keep the site online and loading quickly
- Pass search requests to the correct partner service
- See which pages visitors find useful
- Spot and repair technical problems
- Display ads that may line up with a visitor's 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 to one of them, that site's own privacy policy takes over, not ours. We have no say in how those sites collect or use information.
Some of our advertising partners may also follow activity across different websites to serve targeted ads. That tracking happens on their systems, not on ours, and it is governed by their policies.
Who May Receive Your Information
We do not sell personal information. In the normal course of running the site, your information may reach the following parties:
- Search partners that process the queries you submit
- Analytics providers that measure site traffic
- Advertising networks that serve ads
- Law enforcement or other government bodies when they present a valid legal order
How We Safeguard Your Information
We follow reasonable, standard security measures to protect the data we handle. Even so, no system connected to the internet is ever completely secure. We cannot promise that information will never be intercepted or breached, and you share it with that understanding.
Visitors Under 18
This site is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect information from anyone under the age of 18. If you believe a minor has sent us information, contact us and we will delete it.
Your Rights Over Your Data
Depending on where you live, you may have certain rights regarding the information we hold. These can include the ability to:
- Ask for a copy of the data we hold about you
- Correct information that is wrong
- Request that your data be deleted
- Opt out of certain kinds of processing
Changes to This Policy
We may revise this policy from time to time. When we do, the updated version will be posted here with a new effective date. Continued use of the site after a change means you accept the revised terms.
