Information You Provide
Search Terms You Enter
When you type a name or a location into one of the search tools on the site, that text is sent straight to the third-party provider that operates the tool. We do not store or log those search terms on our own servers. The provider handles them under its own privacy practices, so what it keeps and for how long is governed by that company.
Messages You Send Us
If you email us or fill out a contact form, we keep what you send only so we can write back. We do not pass those messages to anyone outside our organization unless the law requires us to do so. Under Florida's Public Records Law, Chapter 119, email sent to a public agency can become a public record, but that applies to government offices and not to a private site like this one; even so, please avoid putting sensitive personal details in a message you do not need to share.
Information Collected Automatically
Like most websites, ours records a set of technical details each time a page loads. This data is routine and helps the site run. It typically includes the following:
- Your IP address
- Your browser and its version
- Your device type and operating system
- The pages you view and how long you stay on each
- The site that referred you, if there was one
- Date and time stamps for each visit
Cookies
We use cookies to understand how visitors move through the site. You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings at any time. If you do, some parts of the site may not behave the way they normally would.
How the Information Is Used
- To keep the site online and loading quickly
- To pass search requests to the correct partner service
- To learn which pages visitors find helpful
- To spot and repair technical problems
- To display ads that may line up with your interests
Links to Other Sites
The site links out to jail rosters, sheriff and corrections pages, government portals, and third-party search tools. Once you follow one of those links, you are on another company's or agency's site, and its privacy policy controls what happens to your information there. We are not responsible for how those outside sites handle your data.
Some advertising partners may track your activity across different websites in order to show you targeted ads. That tracking happens on their systems, not ours, and is subject to their own privacy terms.
Who May Receive Your Information
We do not sell your personal information. In the normal course of running the site, your data may reach the parties listed below.
- Search partners that process the queries you submit
- Analytics services that measure site usage
- Advertising networks that serve ads
- Law enforcement or government bodies when a valid legal order requires it
How We Safeguard Information
We follow standard security measures to protect the information that passes through the site. Still, no system connected to the internet is ever completely secure. We cannot promise that data will never be intercepted or accessed, and we make no guarantee that any safeguard is breach-proof.
Visitors Under 18
This site is meant for adults. We do not knowingly gather information from anyone under the age of 18. If you believe a minor has submitted information to us, contact us and we will delete it.
Your Rights Over Your Data
- 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

We may revise this policy from time to time. When we do, the updated version will appear on this page with a new effective date. Check back now and then so you stay aware of any changes.
