Information You Submit
Terms Entered in Search
A name, place, or other term entered into a search box is sent to the independent provider that operates the tool. We do not store or log those search terms on our systems. The provider’s privacy terms govern its handling of the query.
Messages Sent to Us
If you email us or use a contact form, we retain the message and supplied contact details as needed to reply. We do not share that correspondence outside our organization unless the law requires disclosure.
Technical Data Collected
Like most sites, our systems may record limited technical information when a page loads:
- Your Internet Protocol address
- Browser name and version
- Device type and operating system
- Pages visited and time spent on them
- The referring site, when available
- Date and time stamps
Cookie Controls
Cookies help measure site use and support site functions. You may block or remove them through browser settings, though parts of the site may work differently afterward.
How Information Is Used
Collected information supports ordinary site operations.
- Maintain performance and availability
- Send search requests to the selected partner
- Learn which Branch County pages visitors find useful
- Detect and repair technical problems
- Present advertising that may reflect visitor interests
Websites Beyond Our Control
Links may lead to sheriff and corrections pages, court portals, jail information, booking resources, government sites, or outside search tools. Once you leave, that destination’s privacy policy applies.
Advertising providers may use their own technologies to measure activity across sites and select interest-based ads. That processing occurs on their systems, not ours.
Parties Receiving Information
We do not sell personal information. Limited information may be received by:
- Search providers that process submitted queries
- Analytics vendors that measure site traffic
- Advertising networks serving or measuring ads
- Law-enforcement or government bodies acting under a valid legal order
Our Security Approach
We use reasonable, standard safeguards suited to the information we handle. No internet-connected system can be promised as fully secure, so we cannot guarantee that a breach will never occur.
Visitors Under Eighteen
This site is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. A parent or guardian who believes a minor submitted information may contact us and request deletion.
Your Information Choices
Subject to applicable law and our ability to verify the request, you may:
- Ask for a copy of personal data we hold
- Request correction of inaccurate information
- Ask that eligible personal data be erased
- Opt out of certain forms of processing
Changes to This Notice
We may revise this privacy notice as practices or legal duties change. An updated version becomes effective when posted here with a revised effective date.
