Information Provided Directly
A visitor may provide information in a message, such as a name, email address, or the text of a question. Search terms entered into a site search box are sent to the outside provider that operates that tool. Do not submit sensitive identification, records, or court documents through a general message because this site is not a government records office.
Technical and Cookie Data
Like most websites, the service and its providers may receive routine technical information when a browser loads a page. That can include an IP address, device and browser characteristics, approximate location derived from an IP address, referral page, pages viewed, and time of access. Cookies or comparable technologies may remember settings, measure activity, support advertising, or help prevent misuse.
How Information Is Used
Information may be used to operate and improve the site, answer messages, maintain security, understand site traffic, display or measure advertising, and comply with legal duties. Search terms are used by the search provider to return results under that provider's own rules. The site does not use a message as an instruction to obtain, change, or release an official record.
Outside Websites and Providers
Links and search tools can lead to outside services, including official sheriff, court, corrections, federal, and state resources. Those destinations have their own privacy practices, availability, and security measures. Their collection or use of information is not controlled by this site. Review their policies before providing data or creating an account.
Who May Receive Data
Information may be shared with service providers that help run the site, including search partners, analytics providers, advertising networks, hosting vendors, and vendors that process messages. Information may also be disclosed when required by a lawful subpoena, court order, or other legal process, or when reasonably needed to protect rights, safety, or site security. The site does not sell a custody confirmation or official record.
Security and Retention
Reasonable safeguards are used, but no online transmission or storage method can be guaranteed secure. Information is kept only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose described here, operational needs, disputes, or legal obligations. Avoid sending material that would be harmful if exposed.
Visitors Under 18
The service is not directed to children under 18, and it does not knowingly seek to collect their personal information. If a parent or guardian believes a child submitted personal information, they may request review or deletion through the site's ordinary message channel.
Choices and Requests
Depending on applicable law and the facts of a request, a visitor may ask to access, correct, or delete personal information held by the site, or to opt out of certain marketing communications. Some data may need to be retained for security, accounting, legal, or operational reasons. Requests about government records must go to the government custodian, not the site.
Changes to This Notice
This notice may be updated as services, vendors, or legal requirements change. The current version takes effect when it is posted. Continued use after an update indicates acceptance of the revised notice.
