Data You Give Us Directly
Search Queries
When you type a name or location into a search tool on the site, that query is passed 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 the query under its own rules.
Messages You Send
If you email us or send a message through a contact channel, we keep it only to reply. We do not share those messages outside our organization unless the law requires it.
Data We Gather Automatically
Like most websites, ours records some technical details each time a page loads.
- IP address.
- Browser type and version.
- Device type and operating system.
- Pages you visit and how long you stay on each.
- The site that referred you, if any.
- Date and time stamps.
Cookies
We use cookies to understand how visitors move through the site. You can block or delete them in your browser settings. If you do, some features may not work the same way.
How We Use This Data
- To keep the site running and loading quickly.
- To route search requests to the right partner service.
- To learn which pages people find useful.
- To spot and fix technical problems.
- To show ads that may match your interests.
Links to Other Websites
The site links out to jail rosters, the Sheriff's Office and corrections pages, government portals, and third-party search tools. Once you click through, the privacy policy of that other site governs what happens to your information, not this one.
Some advertising partners may track activity across different websites to serve targeted ads. That tracking happens on their systems, not on ours.
Who Might See Your Data
We do not sell personal data. It may reach the parties below in the normal course of running the site.
- Search partners that handle the queries you submit.
- Analytics services.
- Advertising networks.
- Law enforcement or government bodies, when a valid legal order requires it.
How We Protect Your Data
We follow standard security practices to guard the information we handle. Still, no system connected to the internet is ever fully secure, so we cannot promise that data can never be breached.
Users Under 18
This site is meant for adults. We do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 18. If you believe a minor has sent us data, contact us and we will remove it.
Your Data Rights
Florida treats much government information as open under the state public-records law in Chapter 119, but that covers official records held by agencies, not the personal data this site collects. For your own information here, you may:
- Ask for a copy of the data we hold about you.
- Ask us to correct information that is wrong.
- Ask us to erase your data.
- Opt out of certain kinds of processing.
Updates to This Policy
We may revise this policy from time to time. When we do, the new version is posted here with a fresh effective date.
