Privacy Notice

This notice describes what Decatur County Recent Arrests collects, why limited data is used, and when a service provider may receive it. By using the site, you accept the practices stated here.

Information You Submit

Search Terms

A name or place entered in a sponsored search box is sent to the third-party company that operates that tool. We do not keep or log those terms on our own systems.

Messages

When you send an email or contact message, we retain it as needed to respond. We do not disclose it outside the organization unless the law requires us to do so.


Routine Technical Data

Like most websites, our systems and providers may record basic technical details when a page loads, including:

  • Your internet protocol address.
  • Your browser type and version.
  • Your device and operating system.
  • Pages viewed and time spent on them.
  • The referring site, when provided.
  • The date and time of a request.

Cookie Controls

Cookies help show how visitors use the site. You may block them in your browser, although some features may work differently without them.


Why Data Is Used

Limited usage data supports the site's operation and helps us understand broad patterns.

  • Operate the site and maintain performance.
  • Send a search request to the selected partner.
  • Learn which pages visitors find useful.
  • Diagnose errors and technical faults.

Sites Beyond Our Control

Links lead to sheriff pages, jail rosters, court and corrections portals, news archives, and outside search services. Once you leave, the destination's privacy policy controls its collection and use of data.

Advertising providers may use their own systems to measure activity across websites or select interest-based ads. We do not control those systems.


Limited Data Sharing

We do not sell personal information. Data may be handled only by:

  • Search partners processing a submitted query.
  • Analytics providers measuring site use.
  • Advertising networks delivering ads.
  • Government or law-enforcement authorities acting under a valid legal order.

Reasonable Security Measures

We use customary safeguards suited to the data we handle. No internet service is completely secure, so we cannot promise that a breach will never occur.


Adults Only

This site is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 18. Contact us if a minor submitted information so it can be reviewed for deletion.


Your Privacy Choices

Subject to applicable law, you may ask us to:

  • Provide a copy of personal data we hold.
  • Correct inaccurate personal information.
  • Delete personal information where required.
  • Stop certain types of processing.

We may revise this policy as practices or legal duties change. A revised version will appear here with a new effective date.
