Privacy Notice

This notice describes what information may be collected while someone uses this site, how that information is used, and when it may be shared. Continued use means acceptance of these practices.

Information You Submit

Search entries

A name or location entered in a search box is sent to the third-party provider that operates the tool. This site does not store or log those search terms on its own systems. The provider’s rules govern its handling of the query.

Messages

An email or contact message may be kept long enough to answer it and maintain the exchange. We do not disclose message content outside the organization unless a valid legal requirement calls for disclosure.


Automatic Technical Information

Routine server and analytics records may capture basic technical data when a page loads.

  • Internet Protocol address
  • Browser name and version
  • Device type and operating system
  • Pages opened and time spent on them
  • The referring page or site, when supplied
  • Date and time stamps

Cookies

Cookies can help measure how visitors use the site. A browser can block or delete them, though parts of the site may then work differently.


How Information Is Used

Collected information supports ordinary site operation and improvement.

  • Keep pages available and responsive
  • Route a search request to the selected partner
  • Measure which pages visitors find useful
  • Diagnose faults and security issues
  • Display advertising that may reflect interests

Outside Sites and Advertising

Links may lead to Benton County release records, sheriff and corrections pages, government portals, or third-party search tools. Once a visitor leaves this site, the destination’s privacy policy controls its collection and use of data.

Advertising partners may use their own systems to measure activity across websites and tailor ads. That processing takes place under the partner’s practices, not this notice alone.


When Data May Be Shared

We do not sell personal information. Limited data may be available to parties that perform a specific service.

  • Search providers receiving a submitted query
  • Analytics vendors measuring site use
  • Advertising networks serving or measuring ads
  • Law-enforcement or government bodies acting under a valid legal order

Security Measures

Reasonable, standard safeguards are used to protect information. No internet-connected service is immune from error, intrusion, or loss, so we cannot promise breach-proof security.


Visitors Under Eighteen

This site is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If a minor has submitted information, use the Contacts page to request deletion.


Your Information Choices

Subject to applicable law and the limits of the data held, a person may ask to exercise these choices.

  • Request a copy of personal information we hold
  • Ask that inaccurate information be corrected
  • Request deletion of eligible information
  • Opt out of processing where that right applies

Changes to This Notice

This privacy notice may be revised as practices or legal duties change. An updated version takes effect when it is posted with its new effective date.
