Information You Choose to Submit
Terms Entered in Search Tools
When you type a name or location into a search tool, the query is sent to the third-party company that powers that tool. This site does not store or log those search terms on its own systems. The provider’s privacy terms govern its handling of the query.
Messages Sent to Us
If you send an email or another direct message, we retain the information needed to read and answer it. We do not share the message outside our organization unless disclosure is legally required.
Technical Information Collected During a Visit
Like most websites, our systems may record routine technical and usage details when a page loads. Those details can include:
- Your Internet Protocol address.
- The browser name and browser version in use.
- The device category and operating system.
- Pages viewed and approximate time spent on them.
- The referring website, when one is supplied.
- The date and time of each request.
Cookies and Similar Storage
Cookies may help us understand site use and support normal page features. You can block or remove cookies through your browser settings, though some functions may then work differently or become unavailable.
How the Information Is Used
Collected information supports the operation and improvement of the website. We may use it to:
- Keep pages available, responsive, and secure.
- Send a search request to the selected partner service.
- Measure which guides visitors find useful.
- Diagnose errors, abuse, and other technical problems.
- Display advertising that may reflect general interests.
Privacy Rules on Linked Websites
This site links to Contra Costa County Sheriff custody pages, city police records channels, Superior Court, CDCR, federal locators, news sources, and third-party search services. Once you follow an external link, that operator’s privacy policy applies. We do not control its collection, retention, or disclosure practices.
Advertising providers may use their own technology to recognize visits across websites and select interest-based ads. That activity occurs on the provider’s systems, not in a booking-record database maintained by this site.
Parties That May Receive Information
We do not sell personal information. Data may still be transmitted or disclosed to the following limited recipients when needed for the stated purpose:
- Search partners that process a query you submit.
- Analytics vendors that measure site performance and use.
- Advertising networks that deliver or measure ads.
- Law enforcement or another government body acting under a valid legal order.
Our Approach to Data Security
We use customary administrative and technical safeguards suited to a public website. No internet transmission, connected system, or storage method is completely secure, so we cannot promise that information will never be accessed, lost, or misused.
This Site Is Intended for Adults
The website is not directed to anyone under 18, and we do not knowingly collect a minor’s personal information. If you believe a minor sent personal data to us, use the Get in Touch page so that a deletion request can be reviewed.
Your Privacy Choices
Subject to applicable law and our ability to verify a request, you may ask us to:
- Provide a copy of personal information we hold about you.
- Correct personal information that is inaccurate.
- Delete personal information where the law permits.
- Stop or limit certain processing where an opt-out right applies.
Changes to This Privacy Notice
We may revise this notice as the website, vendors, or applicable requirements change. A revised version becomes effective when it is posted here with an updated effective date.
