How Information Is Used
Collected data may keep the service stable, route a query to the correct partner, show which pages help readers, diagnose technical faults, and support interest-based advertising.
Links and Advertising
Links may lead to sheriff rosters, release lists, courts, correctional agencies, other government portals, and outside search services. The destination's privacy policy applies after a visitor leaves this site. Advertising partners may also track activity across sites on their own systems to select ads.
When Data Is Shared
Personal information is not sold. It may be provided to search partners processing a query, analytics vendors, advertising networks, or a law-enforcement or government body acting under a valid legal order.
Security Is Best Effort
Reasonable safeguards are used, but no internet service can promise that a breach or unauthorized access will never happen.
