Information Provided to Us
A search typed into a search box is sent to the third-party provider that operates that tool. The site does not represent that it stores the submitted query on its own systems. If a visitor sends a message through a listed contact method, the message and the address or details included in it may be retained to reply or address the request. Those messages are not shared outside the organization unless disclosure is legally required.
Technical Data and Cookies
Like most online services, pages can receive automatic technical information when they load. This helps operate, secure, and understand the site.
- Internet protocol address.
- Browser type and version.
- Device type and operating system.
- Pages viewed, time spent, referring site, and timestamps.
Cookies may be used to understand visitor activity and support site functions. Browser settings can block or remove cookies, although some functions may then behave differently.
How Information Is Used
Information is used to operate and improve the site, respond to messages, direct a search query to the appropriate partner service, understand which pages are useful, diagnose technical issues, and support advertising that may be related to visitor interests. It is not used to create or maintain official McDonald County jail, court, or corrections records.
Other Websites and Services
Links can lead to sheriff pages, jail rosters, court portals, corrections resources, federal locators, and third-party tools. Each outside service has its own terms and privacy practices after a visitor leaves this site. Advertising partners may also collect activity across sites on their own systems for interest-based advertising. Their systems and policies are not controlled here.
Who May Receive Data
Personal information is not sold. It can be shared with service providers only as needed to operate the functions described above or when a valid legal process requires disclosure.
- Search partners that process a submitted query.
- Analytics providers that measure site use.
- Advertising networks that deliver or measure advertising.
- Law-enforcement or government bodies responding to a valid legal order.
Security Limits
Reasonable administrative and technical safeguards are used, but no internet-connected system is completely secure. This notice does not promise that a transmission or stored item is breach-proof or immune from unauthorized access.
Visitors Under 18
The site is intended for adults. It does not knowingly collect personal data from a person under 18. A parent or guardian who believes a minor submitted information may request its deletion through the Contacts page.
Your Information Choices
A visitor may ask for a copy of personal information held in connection with a direct message, request correction of inaccurate information, request deletion where applicable, or object to certain processing. Requests can be submitted through the Contacts page. Some information may need to be retained when law or a legitimate operational need requires it.
