Information You Submit
Search Terms
When you type a name, location, or similar detail into a search tool, that request is handled by the third-party provider that operates the tool. This site does not keep its own log of those search terms.
Messages
If you email us or submit a contact message, we keep the information needed to read, route, and answer the message. We do not share those messages outside our organization unless the law requires it.

External Websites
This site links to release records, jail and corrections pages, government portals, court resources, VINE, and third-party search services. Once you leave this site, the privacy policy of the outside website controls what happens there.
Advertising partners may use their own systems to recognize activity across websites and provide targeted ads. That tracking is handled by those partners, not by this site's own records.

We use standard security practices appropriate for a public website. No internet-connected service can be guaranteed to be completely secure, and this notice does not promise breach-proof protection.
