Information You Submit
Search Terms
A name or location entered in a search tool passes to the third-party provider operating that tool. This site does not keep or log those terms on its own systems.
Messages
Email and contact-form messages may be retained long enough to respond. They are not shared outside the organization unless disclosure is legally required.
Automatic Technical Data
Standard logs and service tools may collect these details when a page loads:
- Internet Protocol address
- Browser name and version
- Device class and operating system
- Pages viewed and time spent
- Referring page, when supplied
- Date and time stamps
Cookies
Cookies help measure how visitors use the site. Browser controls can block them, although certain functions may then behave differently.
How Information Is Used
- Operate and improve site performance
- Send search requests to the selected partner
- Measure which pages help visitors
- Diagnose errors and security issues
- Display advertising that may reflect interests
External Sites and Advertising
Links lead to jail records, government portals, corrections pages, and outside search tools. Once followed, the destination’s own privacy policy applies.
Advertising partners may track activity across sites for interest-based ads through their systems, not this site’s records.
When Data May Be Shared
Personal information is not sold. It may be provided to:
- Search partners processing a query
- Analytics providers
- Advertising networks
- Law enforcement or government bodies acting under a valid legal order
Reasonable Security Measures
Standard safeguards are used, but no internet-connected service can promise complete protection or guarantee that a breach will never occur.
Visitors Under Eighteen
The site is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect information from anyone under 18. Contact us to request deletion if a minor submitted data.
Your Information Choices
- Ask for a copy of personal data held

Changes to This Notice
This policy may be revised. An updated version will be posted here with a new effective date. Requests involving official Athens County records remain governed by the Ohio Public Records Act, Ohio Revised Code 149.43, and must be directed to the government custodian rather than this private site.
