Information You Submit
A name or location entered into a search box is sent to the third-party provider that operates that tool. This site does not store or log the submitted search terms on its own systems.
A message sent by email or through a contact method may be retained long enough to answer it. Such messages are not shared outside the organization unless disclosure is required by law.
Technical Data Collected Automatically
Like most websites, standard logs and measurement tools can collect limited technical data when a page loads:
- Internet Protocol address
- Browser name and version
- Device type and operating system
- Pages visited and time spent
- Referring page or site
- Date and time stamps
Cookies help show how visitors use the pages. Browser controls can block or delete cookies, though some features may then work differently.
Reasons Data Is Used
Collected data supports ordinary site operations and service improvement:
- Keeping pages available and responsive
- Sending search requests to the selected partner
- Learning which material visitors use
- Finding and correcting technical faults
- Displaying advertising that may reflect visitor interests
Other Sites and Advertising
Links may lead to Portage County release records, sheriff and corrections pages, government portals, or outside search tools. Once a visitor leaves, the destination's own privacy terms apply. Advertising partners may also measure activity across sites for interest-based ads through systems they control.
Parties Receiving Data
Personal data is not sold. It may be disclosed only as needed to the following parties:
- Search partners that process a submitted query
- Analytics providers measuring site use
- Advertising networks serving or measuring ads
- Law enforcement or government bodies acting under a valid legal order
Security Is Best Effort
Reasonable safeguards are used to protect information in the site's control. No internet service, transmission, or storage system can be guaranteed free from every intrusion or failure.
Visitors Under Eighteen
This site is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under 18. A parent or guardian who believes a minor submitted information may use the Contacts page to request deletion.
Your Privacy Choices
Subject to applicable law, a person may ask for a copy of personal data held by the site, request correction or erasure, or object to certain processing. Use the Contacts page and describe the request clearly so it can be matched to any retained message.
Changes to This Notice
This privacy notice may be revised when practices or legal duties change. A revised version takes effect when posted here with its new effective date.
