Information You Submit
Search entries
When a visitor submits a name and state through a search box, the entered query is routed through the search flow to a third-party provider. That provider may receive the query and handle it under its own terms and privacy notice. Do not enter information that is not needed for the search.
Messages and contact requests
If a visitor sends a message through an available contact channel, the message may include the sender’s contact details and whatever information the sender chooses to provide. The information is used to read and answer the message, protect the service, and address a legal or security issue when needed.
Technical Data and Cookies
Routine server, hosting, analytics, or advertising systems may collect technical information when a page loads:
- IP address or a shortened identifier;
- browser type and version;
- device type and operating system;
- pages visited, time on a page, and referring address; and
- timestamps and basic error information.
Cookies and similar tools
Cookies or local storage may remember preferences, support page function, measure traffic, or deliver advertising. A third-party provider may set its own tools after a visitor follows an outside link or submits a search. Browser settings can block or delete cookies, although some features may not work as intended.
How Information Is Used
Information may be used to:
- keep the pages available and improve loading speed;
- send submitted search queries to the selected partner service;
- understand which pages are useful and fix technical faults;
- protect the service against misuse or security problems; and
- show advertising that may be selected by a partner network.
The site does not control the records held by Mason County agencies, courts, IDOC, BOP, ICE, newspapers, or other linked services. A search on this site does not change an official record.
Links to Other Services
The pages link to government offices, court systems, news outlets, archives, search partners, and other resources. Once a visitor leaves this domain, the destination controls its own collection, cookies, security, and retention practices. Read the destination’s privacy notice before submitting a record request or search.
Who May Receive Data
Depending on how the site is used, information may be available to:
- the third-party search provider handling a submitted query;
- hosting, analytics, measurement, and technical-support services;
- advertising networks or referral partners;
- service providers that help protect, maintain, or troubleshoot the pages; and
- law enforcement or another government body when a valid legal order or other lawful process requires disclosure.
Information may also be disclosed when needed to prevent fraud, protect a person, enforce site terms, or defend a legal claim.
Security Practices
Reasonable administrative and technical steps are used to protect information, but no internet transmission or storage system is guaranteed secure. Visitors should avoid sending sensitive personal information through a public message or search box. A breach or technical event may require notice under applicable law.
Visitors Under 18
The service is not directed to children under 18. A minor should not submit a name, contact message, or other personal information. If a parent or guardian believes a minor’s information was submitted, contact the operator through the available channel so the issue can be reviewed.
Your Privacy Choices
Depending on applicable law and the information held, a visitor may ask to:
- receive a copy of personal information retained about the request;
- correct inaccurate contact information;
- request deletion where there is no legal or operational reason to keep it; or
- object to or limit certain processing, including some advertising or analytics uses.
A request may need enough detail to locate the record and confirm the requester’s authority. A third-party search provider, government office, news outlet, or other linked service must receive privacy requests directly from the visitor.
Changes to This Notice
This notice may be revised when the service, partners, technology, or legal requirements change. The version posted on the domain controls from its publication date. Continued use after an update means the visitor accepts the revised practices.
