Information You Provide to Us
Search Terms You Enter
When you type a name or a place into one of the search tools, that text is sent to the third-party provider that powers the lookup. Those companies process the query on their own systems. We do not keep a copy of your search terms or build a log of them on our end. The provider's own handling of that data is governed by its policy, not ours.
Notes and Form Submissions
If you email us or fill out a contact form, we hold on to that message so we can write back. We use it only to answer your question or follow up with you. We do not pass these messages to outside parties unless a law or valid legal order requires it.
Information Collected on Its Own
Like most websites, our servers record certain technical details each time a page loads. This happens automatically and does not identify you by name. The items logged include the following.
- The IP address assigned to your connection
- The web browser you use and its version number
- The kind of device and operating system you are on
- Which pages you open and how long you stay on each one
- The site that sent you here, when one exists
- The date and time of each visit
How We Use Cookies
We use small files called cookies to understand how people move through the site. Your browser settings let you turn cookies off or remove them whenever you like. Keep in mind that a few features may not work the same way once cookies are blocked.
Why We Use the Information
- To keep the site online, stable, and quick to load
- To send search requests to the correct partner service
- To learn which pages readers find helpful
- To spot technical problems and get them fixed
- To display ads that may line up with your interests
Links That Lead Off Our Site
Our pages point to many outside resources. These include county jail rosters, the sheriff's office, Florida corrections pages, official government portals, and third-party search tools. Once you click through, you leave our site, and the privacy policy of that other operator takes over. We have no control over how those sites gather or use information, so review their terms before sharing anything.
Some of our advertising partners may follow your activity across different websites in order to serve targeted ads. That tracking takes place on their systems and not on ours. Their own privacy practices decide what they collect and how long they keep it.
Parties That May Receive Your Information
We do not sell your personal information to anyone. In the normal course of running the site, details may reach the following groups.
- Search partners that process the queries you submit
- Analytics providers that measure how the site is used
- Advertising networks that place and manage ads
- Law enforcement or government bodies when a valid legal order requires it
Keeping Your Information Safe
We apply reasonable, commonly accepted security measures to guard the information in our care. Even so, no system connected to the internet can ever be made completely secure. For that reason we cannot promise that data will never be intercepted or exposed, and you share information with that understanding.
Visitors Younger Than 18
This site is meant for adults and is not directed at children. We do not knowingly gather information from anyone under the age of 18. If you believe a minor has sent us personal details, please reach out so we can remove that information from our records.
Rights Over Your Information
- Ask for a copy of the personal information we hold about you
- Have inaccurate details corrected
- Request that your information be deleted
- Opt out of certain kinds of processing
Changes to This Notice
We may revise this Privacy Notice from time to time. When we do, the updated version will be posted on this page along with a fresh effective date. Florida's public-records framework and other applicable rules may shape how we handle certain data, but the core practices described here stay the same. Checking back now and then is the best way to stay current.
