Information You Provide
Search Entries
If you type a name, location, or other search detail into a third-party search tool, that entry is sent to the provider operating the tool. This site does not store or separately log those search terms on its own systems.
Messages
If you send an email or contact message, we may keep the information long enough to read, route, and answer it. We do not share those messages outside our organization unless required by law.

- Device type and operating system

- Referring website, when available
- Date and time stamps
Cookies
Cookies may be used to understand how visitors use the site and to support analytics or advertising features. You can block cookies in your browser settings, but some features may work differently when cookies are disabled.

Outside Websites
This site links to sheriff, jail, court, corrections, parole, VINE, federal locator, and third-party search resources. Once you leave this site, the privacy policy of the outside website controls how your information is handled.
Advertising partners may use their own systems to recognize activity across websites for interest-based advertising. Those tracking practices are controlled by the advertising partner, not by the Jackson County agencies linked from this site.

- Advertising networks that display ads.
- Law-enforcement or government bodies when a valid legal order requires it.
Security
We use standard security practices appropriate for a public information website. No internet-connected service can be guaranteed breach-proof, so we cannot promise absolute security.
