Information You Submit Directly
Search Queries
When you type a name or other information into a search tool on this site, that input goes directly to the third-party provider that powers the tool. We do not log or store those search terms on our end. The provider's own privacy policy governs what happens to the data once it reaches their systems.
Messages You Send Us
If you reach out by email or through a contact form, we keep your message and any contact details you include for the purpose of responding. That information stays within our organization. We do not share it with outside parties unless a valid legal order requires us to do so.
Technical Data Collected Automatically
Like most websites, this site collects certain technical information on every page load. None of it identifies you by name on its own. It is used to keep the site running and to understand how people use it.
- Your IP address at the time of the visit.
- Browser name and version.
- Device type and operating system.
- Which pages you visited and how long you spent on each.
- The site or link that brought you here, if any.
- Date and time stamps for each request.
Cookies
Cookies are small data files placed on your device to help us understand how visitors move through the site. You can configure your browser to block cookies or alert you before they are set. Some features of the site may work differently if cookies are blocked, but the core reference content will still be accessible.
How We Use This Information
- To keep the site running reliably and load pages quickly.
- To route search requests to the correct third-party partner tool.
- To understand which pages are most useful to visitors.
- To identify and fix technical errors or performance issues.
- To display advertising that may be relevant to the topics you are browsing.
Links to External Websites
This site links to official government portals such as the MDCR inmate search, the Miami-Dade Clerk criminal case system, the Florida Department of Corrections Offender Network, the BOP inmate locator, the ICE detainee locator, and third-party search tools. Once you click through to any of those destinations, their own privacy policies govern. We encourage you to review the privacy policy of any site you visit through a link here.
Some advertising partners who serve ads on this site may track browsing activity across multiple websites on their own systems in order to show interest-based ads. That tracking occurs on the ad network's infrastructure, not on this site.
