Information You Provide
Search Terms
When a name, location, or other detail is typed into a search box, that query is sent to the third-party provider that powers the tool. This site does not keep its own separate log of those search terms.
Messages
If you send an email or contact message, the information in that message may be kept long enough to read it, respond, and manage the request. It is not shared outside the organization unless a legal duty requires disclosure.
Information Collected Automatically
Like most websites, this site may receive technical details when a browser loads a page.
- IP address.
- Browser name and version.
- Device type and operating system.
- Pages viewed and time spent on those pages.
- Referring website, when one is available.
- Date and time of the visit.
Cookies
Cookies may be used to understand site traffic, remember basic settings, and support ads or analytics. Browser settings can block or delete cookies, though some parts of the site or partner tools may work differently when cookies are disabled.
How Information Is Used
- To keep the site stable, readable, and fast.
- To send search requests to the correct partner service.
- To understand which Adams County record pages visitors use most.
- To find broken links, errors, and security issues.
- To display ads that may be based on general interests.
Outside Links
This site links to sheriff, jail, court, corrections, state, federal, immigration, and third-party search resources. Once a visitor follows an outside link, that destination's privacy policy and data practices control.
Advertising partners may also use their own systems to measure visits or show targeted ads across websites. Those tools operate under the partner's rules, not this site's internal controls.
Who May Receive Information
Personal data is not sold as a standalone mailing list. It may be handled by the following parties when needed to run the site or comply with law.
- Search partners that process submitted queries.
- Analytics services that measure traffic and page use.
- Advertising networks that provide or measure ads.
- Law enforcement, courts, or government bodies when a valid legal order requires it.
Security
Reasonable security practices are used to protect information handled through the site. No internet-connected service can be guaranteed breach-proof, and no transmission method is perfectly secure.
Users Under 18
This site is meant for adults. It does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If a minor has sent personal information, contact can be made so the information can be reviewed and deleted where appropriate.
Your Data Choices
- Ask for a copy of personal data held by the site.
- Request correction of inaccurate contact information.
- Ask for deletion of information that no longer needs to be kept.
