Information You Provide
Search Terms
When a name, location, or similar query is entered into a search tool, that query may be sent to the third-party provider that operates the tool. This site does not keep its own separate log of those search terms.
Messages
If you email us or use a contact option, the message and contact details may be kept long enough to read, route, and answer the request. We do not share those messages outside the organization unless disclosure is required by law.
Information Collected Automatically
Like most websites, technical information may be recorded when pages load or when tools are used.
- IP address.
- Browser type and version.
- Device type and operating system.
- Pages viewed and time spent on pages.
- Referring website, when available.
- Date and time stamps.
Cookies
Cookies and similar technologies may help measure site use, remember basic settings, and support advertising or analytics. Browser settings can block or delete cookies, though some tools may behave differently when cookies are disabled.
How Information Is Used
- To keep the site available, stable, and reasonably fast.
- To send search requests to the partner service selected by the user.
- To understand which Jay County pages are useful to visitors.
- To diagnose errors, broken links, and technical problems.
- To display ads that may be based on general interests or page activity.
Links Away From This Site
Pages may link to sheriff sites, jail information pages, Indiana court portals, Indiana public-record resources, and third-party search services. Once you leave this site, the privacy policy of the destination site controls its collection and use of information.
Advertising partners may use their own systems to recognize activity across websites and deliver targeted ads. Those practices take place through the partner's technology, not through a record database hosted by this site.
When Information May Be Shared
We do not sell personal information. Limited information may be available to the following categories of recipients when needed for site operation or legal compliance.
- Search partners that process submitted queries.
- Analytics providers used to measure traffic and performance.
- Advertising networks that support display ads.
- Law enforcement, courts, or government bodies when a valid legal order requires disclosure.
Security Practices
Reasonable administrative and technical safeguards are used to protect information handled through the site. No internet-connected service can be guaranteed completely secure, so we cannot promise that information will never be accessed, lost, or misused.
Visitors Under 18
The site is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 18. If a minor has submitted personal information, contact us so the information can be reviewed for deletion.
