Privacy Policy

Scope of this policy

This Privacy Policy applies to County Jail Roster Directory and covers information collected when visitors browse pages, use search and filtering tools, and interact with links to official sheriff or county sources.

This website operates as a public-records directory. We do not provide user account signups, private profile dashboards, or paid member portals that require broad personal data collection.

Information we collect automatically

Like most public websites, we may collect technical request data such as IP address, browser type, device and operating system details, referring URL, requested page paths, and basic interaction events. We use this data for security monitoring, uptime diagnostics, abuse prevention, and aggregate traffic analysis.

Information you send directly

If you contact us by email, we collect the information you include in your message, such as your name, email address, organization, relevant page URL, and any documents you voluntarily provide for correction or legal review.

We request that you do not send sensitive personal identifiers unless they are required for a legitimate legal request.

How collected information is used

Information is used to maintain service reliability, improve search navigation, validate correction requests, and respond to agency, legal, or compliance inquiries. We also use limited technical data to detect scraping abuse, malicious traffic patterns, and system misuse.

Cookies, analytics, and similar technologies

We may use cookies, local storage, or equivalent browser technologies to remember basic preferences and evaluate site performance. Analytics and advertising partners may also set their own cookies under their independent policies.

Most browsers allow users to limit, clear, or block cookies. Restricting cookies may affect certain site behaviors, including search preference persistence or analytics-based page optimization.

Third-party links and external sources

County pages include outbound links to sheriff offices, county departments, detention systems, and other official source providers. Those websites are controlled by their respective agencies and may follow different privacy, accessibility, and content policies.

We are not responsible for privacy practices, content changes, or security controls on external government or vendor websites accessed through those links.

Data retention and security

Operational logs and support inbox records are retained for a limited period based on security, diagnostics, and administrative needs. Retention windows may vary by request type, legal obligations, and incident response requirements.

We use reasonable administrative and technical safeguards designed to reduce unauthorized access, abuse, and data loss. No internet transmission or storage system can be guaranteed as fully secure.

Children's privacy

This site is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children for account-based services.

State privacy rights

Depending on your U.S. state of residence, you may have rights related to access, deletion, or correction of personal information submitted through direct communication channels. Rights and exceptions vary by law and request context.

To submit a privacy request, contact us using the email below and include enough detail to identify the related page, communication thread, or correction record.

Policy updates and contact

We may update this policy to reflect operational changes, legal requirements, or third-party service updates. The effective version is the one published on this page.
