Information You Submit
Search Entries
If a visitor enters a name or location into a search tool, that entry is sent to the independent provider that operates the tool. We do not retain or log those search terms on our own systems.
Messages
If a visitor sends us an email or message, we may keep it and the reply long enough to respond and manage the request. We do not share that message outside our organization unless a legal obligation requires disclosure.
Routine Technical Information
Like most websites, this site and its service providers may receive technical information when a page loads. That information can include:
- Internet protocol address
- Browser type and version
- Device category and operating system
- Pages viewed and time spent on them
- Referring website, when one is provided
- Date and time of the visit
Cookies
Cookies and similar tools help us understand site use and support basic functionality. A visitor can block or remove cookies in browser settings, although some features may then work differently.
How We Use Information
We use the information described above to operate and improve the site and its services.
- Maintain availability and performance
- Send a search request to the provider operating that tool
- Understand which records-guide pages visitors use
- Diagnose and correct technical problems
- Display advertising that may be interest-based
External Services and Links
Our pages may link to the Douglas County Jail, sheriff and city contacts, MODOC, Case.net, other government portals, and independent search tools. Once a visitor follows one of those links, that organization’s privacy policy and data practices apply.
Advertising partners may collect activity across websites for interest-based advertising on their own systems. Their collection is governed by their own notices and controls.
When Data May Be Shared
We do not sell personal information. Information may be available to the following parties when needed for the stated purpose:
- Search providers that process an entered query
- Analytics providers that measure site use
- Advertising networks that serve advertising
- Government or law-enforcement bodies responding to a valid legal demand
Security Practices
We use reasonable administrative and technical safeguards appropriate to the site. No internet-connected service can promise complete security, so we cannot guarantee that information will never be accessed, altered, or lost.
Visitors Under 18
This site is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If a parent or guardian believes a minor submitted personal information, they may contact us to request deletion.
Your Information Choices
Subject to applicable law and the information we actually hold, a visitor may ask us to:
- Provide a copy of personal information we retain
- Correct inaccurate information
- Delete information when appropriate
- Stop certain processing where an opt-out is available
Changes to This Notice
We may revise this notice as the site or its practices change. The updated version will be posted here with a new effective date.
