Information You Provide Directly
Search Queries
When you type a name, a location, or any other term into a search tool on this site, that text is passed straight to the third-party company that operates the tool. We do not store or log those search terms on our own end. The provider running the search handles that data under its own privacy policy.
Messages You Send Us
If you email us or fill out a contact form, we hold on to your message only so we can respond. We do not pass that information to anyone outside our organization unless the law requires us to.
Information Collected Automatically
Like most websites, ours records a handful of technical details each time a page loads. These details help the site run and let us understand general traffic patterns. They include:
- Your IP address.
- The browser you use and its version.
- Your device type and operating system.
- The pages you open and how long you stay on each one.
- The site that referred you, if there was one.
- Date and time stamps for your visit.
Cookies
We use cookies to learn how visitors move through the site. You can turn cookies off in your browser settings if you prefer. Keep in mind that blocking them may change how some features behave.
How We Use This Information
The data we collect serves a few practical goals. We rely on it to:
- Keep the site online and loading quickly.
- Send each search request to the correct partner service.
- See which pages visitors actually find helpful.
- Spot and repair technical problems.
- Display advertising that may line up with your interests.
Links to Other Websites
This site links out to many places, including jail rosters, the Sheriff's Office and Florida Department of Corrections pages, government portals, and third-party search tools. Once you click through to one of those sites, you leave ours, and that site's own privacy policy takes over. We cannot control how those operators handle your data.
Some of our advertising partners may follow your activity across different websites to serve targeted ads. That tracking happens on their systems, not on ours, and it is governed by their policies.
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 following parties:
- Search partners that process the queries you submit.
- Analytics services that measure site traffic.
- Advertising networks that serve ads.
- Law enforcement or government bodies when a valid legal order, such as a request under Florida's public records law in Chapter 119, Florida Statutes, requires it.
How We Safeguard Information
We apply reasonable, standard security measures to protect the information we handle. Even so, no system connected to the internet is ever completely secure. We cannot promise that data will never be intercepted or breached, and you share information with that understanding.
Visitors Under 18
This site is built for adults and is not intended for minors. We do not knowingly gather information from anyone under 18. If you believe a minor has sent us data, contact us and we will delete it.
Your Rights Over Your Data
Depending on where you live, you may have certain rights regarding the information we hold. You can:
- Ask for a copy of the data we keep about you.
- Ask us to fix information that is wrong.
- Ask us to delete your data.
- Opt out of certain kinds of processing.
Changes to This Policy
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. Checking back now and then keeps you current on how we handle information.
