Information provided by visitors
Search entries
A name, location, or other term entered into an on-page search tool is sent to the third-party provider that operates that tool. The site does not keep or log those search terms on its own systems.
Messages
If a visitor sends an email or uses a contact form made available by the site, the message and supplied contact details may be retained to respond. They are not shared outside the organization unless disclosure is required by law.
Technical data collected during use
Like most online services, the site and its service providers may receive routine technical information when a page is requested. This information helps operate and protect the service.
- The internet protocol address used to reach the site.
- Browser type, version, device type, and operating system.
- Pages viewed, the time spent on them, and visit timestamps.
- The referring website or link, when one is supplied.
Cookies and similar tools
Cookies may be used to understand how visitors use the site and to support its features. A browser can block or remove cookies, although some functions may work differently after that choice.
How information is used
Information is used to run, maintain, and improve the service, rather than to create official arrest or custody files.
- Maintain page performance and basic site operations.
- Send a search request to the selected partner service.
- Understand which pages readers find useful.
- Detect, investigate, and repair technical problems.
- Deliver advertising that may be tailored to interests.
Outside websites and services
Links may lead to sheriff, court, corrections, public-records, and other outside resources. Once a visitor leaves this site, that destination’s own privacy notice and practices apply. For example, a county records request is handled under the agency process and the Mississippi Public Records Act guidance, not by this site.
Advertising providers may collect activity across websites on their own systems to tailor advertising. Those providers, not this site, control the data practices associated with their services.
Parties that may receive data
Personal information is not sold. It may be disclosed to the following service categories when needed for the purposes described above or when a valid legal process requires it.
- Search partners that process a submitted search query.
- Analytics providers that measure site use.
- Advertising networks that serve or measure ads.
- Government or law-enforcement bodies acting under a valid legal order.
Security practices
Reasonable administrative and technical measures are used to protect information. No internet-connected system can guarantee complete security, so the site cannot promise that a transmission or stored item will never be accessed, lost, or altered without authorization.
Visitors under 18
The site is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If a minor has provided personal information, a parent or guardian may request its deletion through the available contact method.
Choices about personal data
Subject to applicable law and the limits of information actually held, a visitor may ask about personal information associated with a message or other direct interaction.
- Request a copy of personal data held by the site.
- Ask for a correction to inaccurate personal information.
- Request deletion of information where deletion is appropriate.
- Object to or opt out of certain processing where that option applies.
Changes to this notice
This notice may be revised as the service or legal requirements change. A revised version becomes effective when it is posted here with its updated effective date.
