Information You Provide
Search Terms
When a name, location, or record term is entered into a search box operated by a third-party provider, that query is sent to the provider that powers the tool. This site does not keep a separate local log of those search terms.
Messages
If a visitor sends an email or contact message, the information in that message may be kept long enough to respond and manage the request. It is not shared outside the site operation unless disclosure is required by law.
Automatic Technical Data
Basic technical data may be collected when pages load so the site can operate, measure traffic, and diagnose problems.
- IP address and general network information.
- Browser name, version, and language settings.
- Device type, operating system, and screen characteristics.
- Pages viewed and approximate time spent on pages.
- Referring website, when one is passed by the browser.
- Dates, times, and similar server-log details.
Cookies
Cookies and similar technologies may be used to understand site use, support analytics, and help advertising partners measure activity. Browser settings can block or delete cookies, though some features may behave differently when cookies are disabled.
How Data Is Used
- Keep pages available, stable, and reasonably fast.
- Send search requests to the partner service a visitor chooses.
- Learn which San Diego County jail and record pages are most useful.
- Find errors, abuse patterns, and technical issues.
- Display advertising that may be based on general interests or browsing context.
Outside Links
This site links to sheriff pages, court portals, CDCR, BOP, ICE, VINELink, and third-party search tools. After a visitor follows an outside link, that service's privacy policy and data practices control.
Advertising partners may use their own systems to measure visits and show interest-based ads across websites. Those partner systems are separate from this site's direct control.
Who May Receive Data
Personal data is not sold as a standalone list. It may be handled by limited parties that support the site or respond to legal duties.
- Search partners that process submitted queries.
- Analytics providers that measure traffic and page performance.
- Advertising networks that place or measure ads.
- Law enforcement, courts, or government bodies when a valid legal order requires disclosure.
Security
Reasonable security practices are used, but no internet-connected service can be promised as breach-proof. Visitors should avoid sending sensitive personal details unless a communication is necessary.
