Information You Submit
Search terms
A name, location, or other term entered in a search box is transmitted to the third-party provider that operates the tool. We do not store or log those search terms on our own system.
Messages
If you send an email or contact submission, we retain the message and contact details long enough to respond. We do not share that correspondence outside the organization unless a valid legal requirement compels disclosure.
Technical Data Collected Automatically
A visit may create standard technical records used to operate and protect the site. They can include:
- Internet Protocol address;
- browser name and version;
- device type and operating system;
- pages viewed and time spent;
- referring page, when available;
- date and time stamps.
Cookies
Cookies help measure how visitors use the pages and support site functions. Browser settings can block or clear them, though parts of the site may behave differently afterward.
How Data Is Used
Collected data supports a limited set of operational purposes:
- keeping pages available and responsive;
- sending search requests to the selected partner;
- learning which information visitors use;
- detecting and repairing technical problems;
- displaying advertising that may reflect general interests.
Links and Outside Services
The site links to sheriff and corrections offices, release records, government portals, and outside search tools. Once a visitor follows a link, the destination's privacy policy controls its collection and use. Advertising providers may also measure activity across sites for interest-based ads on their own systems, not ours.
Parties That May Receive Data
We do not sell personal information. Data may be handled by:
- search partners that process a submitted query;
- analytics providers that measure site use;
- advertising networks that deliver ads;
- law-enforcement or government bodies acting under a valid legal order.
Security Practices
We use standard safeguards appropriate to a public website. No internet-connected service is completely secure, so we cannot promise that data will never be intercepted, lost, or accessed without permission.
Visitors Under Eighteen
This site is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect information from anyone under eighteen. A parent or guardian may use the Contact Us page to request deletion if a minor submitted information.
Your Privacy Choices
Subject to applicable law and our ability to verify the requester, you may ask for a copy of personal data we hold, correction of inaccurate details, deletion, or an opt-out from certain processing. These rights concern data held by this site, not records maintained by Gentry County, Missouri courts, MODOC, or another linked agency.
Changes to This Notice
We may revise this notice as the site or its services change. The updated version becomes effective when posted here with a revised effective date.
