Information You Submit
Terms Sent to Search Providers
A name, location, or other term entered in an embedded search tool is transmitted to the third-party company that operates that tool. We do not store or log those search terms on our own system. The provider’s privacy terms govern its handling of the query.
Messages Sent to Us
If you send an email or contact-form message, we retain the information needed to read and answer it. We do not share that message outside our organization unless disclosure is required by law.
Automatic Technical Information
Standard web systems may collect limited technical and usage details when a page loads:
- Internet Protocol address
- Browser name and version
- Device type and operating system
- Pages viewed and time spent on them
- The referring website, when supplied
- Date and time stamps
Cookies and Browser Controls
Cookies help measure how visitors use the pages. You can block or remove cookies through browser settings, though some functions may then work differently.
How Information Is Used
Collected information supports operation of the site and its tools. It may be used to:
- Keep pages available and responsive
- Send search requests to the selected partner
- Understand which resources visitors use
- Detect and correct technical faults
- Display advertising that may reflect user interests
Services Beyond This Site
Links may lead to MCSO, ODOC, courts, government release records, and independent search tools. Once you leave, the destination’s own privacy policy controls its collection and use of information.
Advertising providers may use their systems to measure activity across more than one website and select interest-based ads. That tracking occurs through the provider’s technology, not records maintained by this site.
Parties That May Receive Data
We do not sell personal data. Limited information may be provided to:
- Search partners that must process a submitted query
- Analytics companies that measure site use
- Advertising networks serving or measuring ads
- Law-enforcement or government bodies acting under a valid legal order
Reasonable Security Measures
We use standard safeguards suited to an online reference site. No internet service, transmission method, or storage system can be promised as fully secure or immune from a breach.
