Privacy Notice

This notice describes what information Carroll County Recent Arrests receives, why it is used, and when another party may receive it. It also explains cookies, outside services, security limits, and privacy choices. By using the site, you accept the practices stated here.

Information You Submit

Search terms

A name, place, or other term entered in a search box is sent to the third-party provider that operates the tool. This site does not store or log those search terms on its own systems. The provider's privacy terms apply to its handling of the query and results.

Messages

If you send an email or contact message, we retain the information needed to read and answer it. We do not share a message outside the organization unless disclosure is required by law.


Information Collected Automatically

Routine technical records may be created when a page loads. They can include:

  • Your Internet Protocol address
  • Browser name and version
  • Device category and operating system
  • Pages viewed and time spent on them
  • The referring website, when supplied
  • Date and time stamps

Cookies

Cookies help measure how visitors use the site and support some features. You can block or delete them through browser settings. Parts of the site may work differently when cookies are disabled.


How Information Is Used

Collected information supports a limited set of operating purposes:

  • Keeping pages available, stable, and responsive
  • Sending search requests to the selected partner service
  • Understanding which content is useful
  • Finding errors, abuse, and technical faults
  • Displaying advertising that may reflect visitor interests

Websites and Advertising Partners

Links may lead to sheriff and corrections pages, government portals, court tools, custody services, news sources, and third-party search providers. Once you leave this site, the destination's own privacy policy governs its data collection and use.

Some advertising companies may measure activity across websites to select or assess interest-based ads. That processing occurs through their systems and is controlled by their policies, not this one.


When Information Is Shared

We do not sell personal information. Data may be provided only as needed to:

  • Search partners that process a submitted query
  • Analytics providers that measure site activity
  • Advertising networks that deliver or assess ads
  • Law-enforcement agencies or government bodies acting under a valid legal order

Security Has Practical Limits

Reasonable, standard safeguards are used to protect information in our control. No website, network, or Internet transmission can be guaranteed completely secure. We therefore cannot promise that a breach, loss, or unauthorized access will never occur.


Visitors Under Eighteen

This service is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect information from anyone under 18. If a parent or guardian believes a minor submitted personal data, use the Contact Us page to request deletion.


Your Privacy Choices

Subject to applicable law and our ability to verify the request, you may:

  • Ask for a copy of personal data we hold about you
  • Request correction of inaccurate information
  • Ask for deletion of information associated with you
  • Object to or opt out of certain processing

These rights apply to information controlled by this site. A sheriff, court, corrections agency, search partner, or linked publisher has its own records and request process.


Changes to This Notice

We may revise this privacy notice as practices or legal duties change. The updated version will be posted on this page with a new effective date, and use after posting will be governed by that version.
