Information You Submit
Terms Entered in Search
A name, place, or other term entered in a search box is sent to the third-party provider that operates the tool. This site does not keep or log those search terms on its own system.
Emails and Other Messages
If you email us or submit a contact message, we retain enough information to read and answer it. We do not share the message outside our organization unless disclosure is required by law.
Technical Data Collected Automatically
Ordinary server and analytics tools can record technical details when a page loads, including:
- The internet protocol address used for the request
- The browser name and version
- The device category and operating system
- Pages viewed and time spent on them
- The referring website, when available
- The date and time of the request
Cookie Use
Cookies help show how visitors move through the site. A browser can block or remove them, although some functions may work differently when cookies are disabled.
How Information Supports the Site
Collected information is used for limited operating purposes:
- Operate the site and maintain reasonable performance
- Send a search request to the selected partner tool
- Measure which pages visitors find useful
- Diagnose errors and repair technical problems
- Display advertising that may reflect visitor interests
Privacy Beyond This Website
Links may lead to Franklin County release records, Sheriff or corrections pages, court portals, and outside search tools. Once a visitor follows a link, the destination’s own privacy policy governs its collection and use.
Some advertising providers may track activity across several websites to select ads. That processing occurs within the provider’s systems, not within this site’s own records.
Parties That May Receive Data
We do not sell personal information. Data may still be provided to:
- Search partners that process a submitted query
- Analytics providers that measure use
- Advertising networks that deliver ads
- Law enforcement or another government body acting under a valid legal order
Reasonable Security Measures
We use standard safeguards suited to an informational website. No system connected to the internet can be guaranteed fully secure, so we cannot promise that a breach will never occur.
Visitors Younger Than Eighteen
This site is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under 18. Contact us if a minor submitted information so that a deletion request can be reviewed.
Choices About Your Data
Subject to applicable law and our ability to verify a request, you may:
- Ask for a copy of personal information we hold
- Request correction of inaccurate personal details
- Ask that eligible information be erased
- Opt out of certain forms of processing where that right applies
Changes to This Notice
This notice may be revised as site practices change. An updated version will appear on this page with a new effective date.
