This notice describes information that may be collected when this private Franklin County reference site is used, why it is used, and the limited circumstances in which it may be shared. By using the site, visitors accept the practices described here.

Information You Provide

Search entries

A name, location, or other term entered into a search tool is sent to the independent provider operating that tool. We do not keep or log the search phrase on our own systems.

Messages

Messages sent through an email address or contact channel may be retained to answer the message. They are not shared outside the organization unless disclosure is legally required.

  • Browser type and version
  • Device and operating-system information
  • Pages viewed and time spent on them
  • Referring page, when supplied
  • Connection timestamps

Cookies

Cookies and similar tools may help measure use of the site. Browser controls can block or delete them, although some features may work differently after that choice.


How Information Is Used

Collected information may be used to operate, secure, and improve the service.

Links and Advertising

The site links to sheriff, detention, court, corrections, federal locator, and other outside resources. Once a visitor follows an outside link, that organization’s privacy terms control its service. Some advertising partners may also collect activity across sites on their own systems for ad delivery.


Who May Receive Data

Personal information is not sold as a separate product. It can be handled by the parties needed to operate the services described here.

  • Search partners processing submitted queries
  • Analytics providers
  • Advertising networks
  • Government or law-enforcement bodies responding to a valid legal order

Security Practices

Reasonable administrative and technical safeguards are used for the information under our control. No internet-connected service can guarantee complete security, so visitors should avoid sending sensitive details that are not needed for a contact request.


Visitors Under 18

This site is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. A parent or guardian who believes a minor supplied information may request its deletion through the contact channel.
