Information You Choose to Provide
Search Entries
When you type a name, location, or related search detail into a search tool, that query is sent to the outside provider that operates the tool. This site does not keep its own log of those search terms.
Messages
If you send an email or contact message, the information in that message may be kept long enough to review it, reply, and maintain ordinary records. It is not shared outside the organization unless a legal requirement calls for disclosure.
Information Collected Automatically
Like most websites, this site may collect technical information when a page loads or a link is clicked.
- Your IP address.
- Your browser type and version.
- Your device type and operating system.
- Pages viewed and approximate time spent on them.
- The referring website, when a browser provides it.
- Date and time stamps.
Cookies
Cookies and similar tools may be used to understand site usage and improve performance. You can block cookies in your browser settings, although some pages or partner features may behave differently when cookies are disabled.
How the Information Is Used
- To keep the site available, readable, and responsive.
- To send search requests to the correct partner service.
- To understand which St. Louis County jail, court, DOC, and locator pages visitors use most.
- To identify errors, broken links, abuse, or technical problems.
- To display advertising that may be based on general interests.
Links to Other Websites
This site links to public resources such as the St. Louis County inmate locator, Justice Services pages, NextRequest, Missouri Case.net, Missouri DOC, BOP, ICE, VINELink, and public-record material governed in Missouri by the Sunshine Law, Chapter 610. Once you leave this site, the privacy notice and data practices of the destination site apply.
Advertising partners may use their own systems to measure activity across websites or show targeted ads. That tracking happens under the partner's technology and policies, not this notice alone.
