Information You Submit
Search Queries
Names, locations, or other details typed into a search tool may be sent to the outside search provider that powers that tool. This site does not keep its own official jail, court, or custody database and does not store those search terms as official records.
Messages
If you send an email or contact message, the information you provide may be kept long enough to review and respond. It is not shared outside the organization except when needed to operate the site or when law requires it.
Automatic Technical Data
Like most websites, this site may collect technical information when pages load.
- IP address
- Browser type and version
- Device type and operating system
- Pages viewed and approximate time on page
- Referring site, if any
- Date and time stamps
Cookies
Cookies and similar tools may be used to understand site use, remember basic settings, support ads, and improve reliability. Browser settings can block cookies, though some features may work differently.
How Information Is Used
- Keep the site available and functioning.
- Route searches to partner tools when a user chooses to use them.
- Understand which pages are useful.
- Detect errors, abuse, or technical problems.
- Show advertising that may be based on general interests.
Outside Websites
This site links to SEORJ, Vinton County offices, Ohio DRC, court portals, BOP, ICE, VINELink, statutes, and third-party search tools. Once you follow an outside link, that outside site's privacy policy and data practices apply.
Advertising partners may use their own systems to measure or tailor ads across websites. Those activities are controlled by the partner, not by a Vinton County office or this site's local content pages.
Who May Receive Data
Personal information is not sold as an official record product. It may be handled by service providers that help operate the site.
- Search partners that process submitted queries.
- Analytics providers.
- Advertising networks.
- Hosting, security, or technical vendors.
- Law enforcement or government bodies when a valid legal order requires disclosure.
Security and Age Limits
Reasonable security practices are used, but no internet-connected site can be promised breach-proof. This site is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If a minor has submitted information, a deletion request may be sent through the contact page.
Your Choices
Depending on the situation and applicable law, you may ask to review information held by this site, correct inaccurate contact information, request deletion, or opt out of certain processing. This does not control records held by SEORJ, Vinton County, Ohio DRC, BOP, ICE, VINELink, courts, or search partners.
Policy Changes
This Privacy Notice may be updated from time to time. A revised notice takes effect when posted on this page with the new wording.
