Information You Provide
Search Terms
When you enter a name, location, or similar detail into a search tool, that query is sent to the third-party provider that operates the tool. This site does not keep its own log of those search terms.
Messages
If you email us or send a contact message, we use the information in that message to read it, respond, and manage follow-up. We do not share those messages outside our organization unless the law requires it.

- Date and time stamps for visits.
Cookies
Cookies and similar tools may be used to understand site usage and keep features working. You can block cookies in your browser, but some parts of the site or partner tools may behave differently if you do.

Outside Links and Public Records Context
This site links to sheriff pages, jail rosters, Missouri Department of Corrections resources, Missouri Case.net, VINELink, BOP, ICE, and third-party search tools. Once you leave this site, the destination website's own privacy policy and terms control its handling of your information.
Advertising partners may use their own systems to measure activity across websites for interest-based ads. Missouri public-record sources, including records available under the Missouri Sunshine Law, are controlled by the agencies that maintain those records, not by this site.

- Analytics providers that help measure traffic and site performance.
- Advertising networks that serve or measure ads.
- Law enforcement, courts, or government bodies when a valid legal order requires disclosure.
Security
We use reasonable security practices for a site of this kind, but no internet-connected system can be guaranteed breach-proof. Please avoid sending sensitive personal information that is not needed for your message.
