Information You Provide to Us
Search Terms You Enter
When you type a name or place into the lookup tool on this site, that text is handed off to the outside search provider that powers the results. The query travels to their systems so they can return matches. We do not keep a copy of what you searched for, and we do not maintain a log of those terms on our own end. How the provider treats that query is covered by their own privacy practices, not ours.
Messages You Send Us
If you write to us by email or through a contact form, we hold on to the message so we can read it and reply. That includes whatever you choose to include, such as your name, your email address, and the details of your question. We do not pass these messages to outside parties, with one exception. We may share them when the law requires us to do so.
Information Collected Automatically
Like most websites, this one records certain technical details each time a page loads. None of it is meant to identify you by name. It is gathered to keep the site working and to understand general traffic patterns. The kinds of data logged include the following.
- The IP address assigned to your connection
- The web browser you use and its version number
- Your device type and the operating system on it
- Which pages you opened and how long you stayed on each
- The site or link that sent you here, when one exists
- The date and time of each visit
Cookies and Similar Files
This site uses cookies, which are small files saved by your browser. They help us see how visitors move through the pages so we can make the site better. You can turn cookies off or delete them through your browser settings at any time. Keep in mind that blocking them may change how some parts of the site behave for you.
How the Information Is Used
The data described above serves a handful of practical purposes. We do not gather it for its own sake. Each use ties back to running the site or improving what visitors get from it.
- Keeping the website online, stable, and quick to load
- Passing your search to the correct partner service for results
- Seeing which pages people find helpful and which fall flat
- Spotting bugs and technical problems so they can be fixed
- Displaying ads that may line up with your interests
Links That Lead Off This Site
This site points you toward many outside resources. Those include county jail rosters, sheriff and corrections pages, government records portals, and third-party search tools. Once you click through and land on one of those sites, our policy no longer applies. The site you reach runs under its own privacy terms, and we have no say over how it handles your data. Read their policies before you share anything.
Some advertising partners may follow your activity across different websites to serve targeted ads. That tracking happens on their systems and not on ours. We do not control the tools they use, so review their privacy notices if you want to understand or limit what they do.
Who May Receive Your Information
We do not sell your personal information to anyone. There are still a few parties who may handle it in the course of normal operations or when the law steps in. The groups below cover those cases.
- The search partners that process the queries you submit
- Analytics providers that measure how the site is used
- Advertising networks that deliver and manage ads
- Law enforcement or other government bodies acting under a valid legal order, subpoena, or request that the law backs, including disclosures required under Florida's Public Records Act, Chapter 119, Florida Statutes
Steps Taken to Safeguard Data
We use reasonable, commonly accepted measures to protect the information in our care. Even so, no system that connects to the internet can ever be fully locked down. We cannot promise that data sent over the web or stored on a server is completely safe from a breach. By using the site, you accept that this risk exists despite the safeguards in place.
Visitors Under the Age of 18
This website is built for adults and is not directed at children. We do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 18 years old. If you believe a minor has sent us personal data, get in touch and we will remove it from our records. We do not want that information and will delete it once we are aware of it.
The Choices and Rights You Have
Depending on where you live, you may hold certain rights over the personal data tied to you. We honor reasonable requests in line with the law that applies to you. You can reach out to exercise any of the following.
- Ask for a copy of the personal data we hold about you
- Have inaccurate or outdated details corrected
- Request that your data be erased
- Opt out of certain kinds of processing
Changes to This Policy
This Privacy Policy may be revised over time as the site or the law changes. When that happens, the updated version is posted right here on this page along with a fresh effective date. We suggest checking back now and then. Continuing to use the site after a change means you accept the revised policy.
