Information You Provide Directly
Search Queries
When you type a name or location into a search tool on this site, that text goes straight to the third-party provider that runs the tool. We do not store or log those search terms on our end. The provider handles them under its own privacy rules, so review the provider's policy if you want to know how it treats what you enter.
Messages You Send Us
If you email us or send a message through a form, we keep what you wrote so we can reply. That content stays inside the organization. We do not share it with outside parties unless a law or a valid legal order requires us to.
Information Collected Automatically
Like most websites, this one records a few technical details each time a page loads. None of it identifies you by name.
- Your IP address
- The browser you use and its version
- Your device type and operating system
- The pages you open and how long you stay on each
- The site that referred you, when there is one
- Date and time stamps for each visit
Cookies
Cookies help us see how visitors move through the site. You can block or delete them in your browser settings at any time. Keep in mind that turning cookies off may change how some features behave.
How We Use What We Collect
The data above serves a handful of practical purposes.
- Keeping the site running and loading quickly
- Passing your search to the right partner service
- Learning which pages people find useful
- Spotting and fixing technical problems
- Showing ads that may line up with your interests
Links to Other Websites
This site links out to plenty of places. Those include the Connecticut DOC inmate search, Department of Correction pages, the Judicial Branch case lookup, federal locators, and outside search tools. Once you click through, the site you land on runs under its own privacy policy, not ours. We have no say over how those sites collect or use your data.
Some advertising partners may follow your activity across different sites to serve targeted ads. That tracking happens on their systems, not on this one, and their own policies govern it.
Who Might Receive Your Data
We do not sell personal data. In the normal course of running the site, your information may reach the parties listed here.
- Search partners that process the queries you submit
- Analytics services that measure site traffic
- Advertising networks that deliver and target ads
- Law enforcement or government bodies acting under a valid legal order
How We Protect Your Data
We follow reasonable, standard security measures to guard the information we handle. Still, no system connected to the internet is ever fully secure. We cannot promise that data will never be intercepted or breached, and no method of transmission or storage is completely safe.
Visitors Under 18
This site is meant for adults. We do not knowingly gather information from anyone under 18. If you believe a minor has sent us data, contact us and we will delete it.
Your Rights Over Your Data
Depending on where you live, you may be able to do the following. Note that Connecticut treats most criminal-justice records as public under the state Freedom of Information Act, Conn. Gen. Stat. § 1-210, so those public records are separate from any data this site holds about you.
- Ask for a copy of the data we hold about you
- Ask us to correct information that is wrong
- Ask us to erase your data
- Opt out of certain kinds of processing
Changes to This Notice
We may revise this notice from time to time. When we do, the updated version posts here with a new effective date. Checking back now and then keeps you current on how we handle information.
