Information You Choose to Send
Search terms. A name, location, or other term entered in a search box passes to the third-party company that operates that tool. This site does not keep or log those search terms on its own systems.
Messages. If you email or submit a message, we retain it as needed to answer. We do not share it outside the organization unless a legal duty requires disclosure.
Technical Data Collected Automatically
Routine service logs and analytics may receive technical details when a page loads.
- Internet Protocol address
- Browser name and version
- Device class and operating system
- Pages viewed and time spent
- Referring website, when supplied
- Date and time stamps
Cookies. Cookies help measure how visitors use the site. Browser controls can reject or remove them, though parts of the site or partner tools may then work differently.
Reasons We Use Data
Collected data may be used for these operating purposes.
- Maintain site performance and availability
- Send a search to the selected partner service
- Measure which pages visitors find useful
- Diagnose errors and technical problems
- Display advertising that may reflect visitor interests
Links and Advertising Systems
Pages link to Linn County records, Sheriff and corrections sites, government portals, and independent search services. After you follow a link, that destination's privacy rules apply.
Some advertising companies may use their own systems to measure activity across sites and select interest-based ads. Their collection occurs under their policies, not this one.
Parties That May Receive Data
We do not sell personal information. Limited data may reach:
- Search providers processing a submitted query
- Analytics companies measuring traffic
- Advertising networks serving or measuring ads
- Law-enforcement or government bodies acting under a valid legal order
Security Is Best Effort
Reasonable technical and organizational safeguards are used. No internet-connected service can promise absolute security, and this notice does not guarantee that a breach can never occur.
Visitors Under Eighteen
The site is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under 18. A parent or guardian who believes a minor submitted information may use the Contacts page to request deletion.
Your Privacy Choices
Subject to applicable law and verification, you may ask for a copy of personal data held directly by the site, correct inaccurate data, request deletion, or object to certain processing. These requests do not control data kept by a government office or independent linked service.
Changes to This Notice
This notice may be revised as practices or legal duties change. A revised version takes effect when it is posted with an updated effective date.
