Information You Submit
A name, location, or other term entered in a search box is sent to the outside provider that operates that tool. We do not store or log those search terms on our own systems. The provider's privacy rules apply to the query it receives.
If you send an email or contact message, we retain the information needed to read and answer it. We do not share that correspondence outside the organization unless disclosure is required by law.
Technical Data Collected Automatically
Like most sites, our systems and service providers receive basic technical details when a page loads. Those details may include:
- Internet Protocol address;
- browser name and version;
- device category and operating system;
- pages viewed and time spent on them;
- the referring website, when supplied; and
- date and time stamps.
Cookies help measure how visitors use the site and may support site or advertising functions. A browser can reject or remove cookies, although some features may then work differently.
How Information Is Used
Collected data is used for practical operation and improvement. Uses may include:
- keeping pages available and responsive;
- sending a search request to the selected partner;
- understanding which resources visitors find useful;
- detecting and correcting technical faults; and
- displaying advertising that may reflect visitor interests.
Privacy Beyond Our Pages
Links lead to Brooks County release records, sheriff and corrections pages, government portals, federal tools, and outside search services. Once a visitor follows a link, the destination's privacy notice and practices control the information collected there.
Some advertising companies may use their own technology to measure activity across websites and select ads. That tracking occurs through their systems, not through records maintained directly by this site.
Parties That May Receive Data
We do not sell personal information. Data may nevertheless be processed or disclosed to:
- search partners that receive a submitted query;
- analytics providers that measure site performance;
- advertising networks that deliver or measure ads; and
- law enforcement or another government body responding to a valid legal order.
Safeguarding Information
We use customary administrative and technical measures intended to protect information. No website, network, storage system, or internet transmission can be guaranteed fully secure, so we cannot promise that a breach will never occur.
Visitors Under Eighteen
This service is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under eighteen. A parent or guardian who believes a minor submitted information may use the Contact Us page to request deletion.
Your Privacy Choices
Subject to applicable law and verification, a person may ask to:
- receive a copy of personal information we hold about them;
- correct inaccurate information;
- delete information that can lawfully be erased; or
- opt out of certain processing where that right applies.
Send a request through Contact Us. Rights and response duties can vary by jurisdiction and the nature of the data.
Changes to This Notice
We may revise this privacy notice as practices, services, or legal duties change. The updated version takes effect when posted here with a revised effective date.
