Information You Submit
Terms Entered in Search
A name, location, or other detail entered into a search box is sent to the third-party provider that powers that tool. We do not store or log those search terms on our own system. The provider’s privacy terms govern its handling of the query.
Messages Sent to Us
If you send an email or contact-form message, we keep the information needed to read and answer it. We do not share that message outside our organization unless disclosure is required by law.
Information Collected Automatically
Normal web operations may record technical and usage details when a page loads. These records help deliver and maintain the service.
- Your Internet Protocol address.
- Your browser type and version.
- Your device category and operating system.
- The pages viewed and time spent on them.
- The referring website, when one is supplied.
- The date and time associated with a request.
Cookies and Similar Tools
Cookies may be used to understand visits and site use. You can block or remove cookies through browser settings, although some functions may then behave differently or stop working as intended.
How Information Is Used
Collected information supports routine operation and improvement. We may use it to:
- Keep pages available, responsive, and reliable.
- Send a search request to the selected partner service.
- Understand which content readers find useful.
- Detect, diagnose, and repair technical problems.
- Display advertising that may reflect a user’s interests.
Websites Beyond Our Control
Links may lead to Gadsden County jail or court resources, sheriff and corrections pages, government portals, booking sources, and outside search services. After leaving our pages, the destination’s privacy policy controls its collection and use of information.
Advertising partners may use their own technology to recognize activity across websites and select interest-based ads. That tracking occurs through their systems, not as a database maintained by Gadsden County Recent Arrests.
When Information May Be Shared
We do not sell personal information. Information may be transmitted or disclosed to limited recipients when needed for site functions or legal compliance:
- Search partners that process a query submitted to their tools.
- Analytics providers that measure traffic and performance.
- Advertising networks that deliver or measure ads.
- Law-enforcement agencies or other government bodies acting under a valid legal order.
Security Has Practical Limits
We use customary safeguards intended to protect information. Still, no website, network, or storage system connected to the internet can be guaranteed completely secure. We cannot promise that unauthorized access, loss, or another breach will never occur.
People Under Eighteen
The site is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. A parent or guardian who believes a minor submitted information may use the Contacts page to request its deletion.
Your Privacy Choices
Subject to applicable law and the information we hold, you may:
- Ask for a copy of personal data kept about you.
- Ask us to correct inaccurate personal information.
- Request deletion of information we control.
- Object to or opt out of certain processing where that right applies.
These choices concern data controlled by us. A government record or information sent directly to a third-party search provider must be addressed with that separate custodian.
Changes to This Notice
We may revise this privacy notice as practices, services, or legal duties change. The updated version becomes available on this page with a new effective date.
