Privacy Notice

This notice describes the information collected through this private St. Francois County release-record reference, how it is used, and when service providers or legal authorities may receive it. Continued use means accepting these practices.

Information You Submit

A name, location, or other query entered in a search box is sent to the third-party provider that operates that tool. This site does not store or log those query terms on its own systems. A message sent by email or a contact form may be kept long enough to respond and maintain the exchange. It is not shared outside the operating organization unless a legal duty requires disclosure.


Automatic Technical Data

Like most web services, the site may receive routine technical information when a page loads.

  • Internet Protocol address
  • Browser name and version
  • Device type and operating system
  • Pages viewed and time spent
  • Referring page or service
  • Date and time of access

Cookies help measure use and support site functions. Browser settings can block or remove them, although some features may then work differently.


How Information Is Used

Collected data supports ordinary operation and improvement of the service.

  • Deliver pages and maintain performance.
  • Send search requests to the chosen partner.
  • Measure which material visitors use.
  • Find errors, abuse, or technical faults.
  • Display advertising that may reflect interests.

Websites Beyond Our Control

Links lead to sheriff and corrections pages, court and government portals, federal locators, and third-party search tools. Once a visitor follows a link, the destination’s privacy terms apply. Some advertising partners may use their own systems to recognize activity across websites for interest-based advertising.


Limited Data Sharing

Personal data is not sold by this site. It may be processed by search partners handling a submitted query, analytics providers measuring traffic, and ad networks delivering messages. Information may also be provided to law-enforcement or another government body when a valid court order, subpoena, or other binding legal demand requires it.


Security Is Best Effort

Reasonable administrative and technical practices are used to protect information. No internet-connected system, transmission, or storage method can be guaranteed free of intrusion or loss. This notice therefore makes no promise that a breach can never occur.


Adults Only

This service is intended for people age 18 and older. It does not knowingly seek personal data from a minor. A parent or guardian who believes a minor submitted information may use the Contacts page to request review and deletion.


Your Privacy Choices

Subject to applicable law and the ability to verify the request, a user may ask for a copy of personal data held by the site, correction of inaccurate data, deletion, or an opt-out from certain processing. These rights do not require the site to delete a government record held by the St. Francois County Sheriff, MODOC, a court, or another independent agency.


Changes to This Notice

Privacy practices may change as the service or law changes. A revised notice takes effect when posted here with its new effective date.
