Information You Provide
Search Terms
When you type a name, location, or similar detail into a search tool, that query is sent to the third-party provider operating the tool. This site does not store or log those search terms on its own system.
Messages
If you email us or submit a message, we keep the information needed to read and answer it. We do not share those messages outside our organization unless the law requires it.

- Your IP address.
- Browser type and version.
- Device type and operating system.
- Pages viewed and time spent on those pages.
- The referring website, when one is passed to us.
- Date and time stamps.

Links Away From This Site
This site links to sheriff, jail, court, corrections, Missouri DOC, Case.net, VINELink, BOP, ICE, and third-party search resources. Once you leave this site, the destination site's privacy policy and terms control its handling of your information.
