Information You Submit
Search Terms
A name, place, or other term entered in a search tool is sent to the third-party provider that operates it. Orange County Recent Arrests does not store or log those search terms on its own systems.
Messages
Information sent through email or a contact channel may be retained as needed to answer the message. It is not shared outside the organization unless disclosure is required by law.
Automatic Technical Data
Routine logs and measurement tools may collect technical information when a page loads:
- Internet Protocol address
- Browser name and version
- Device type and operating system
- Pages viewed and time spent
- Referring website, when supplied
- Date and time stamps
Cookies
Cookies may help measure how visitors use the site and support its features. Browser controls can reject or clear cookies, although some functions may then work differently.
How Data Is Used
Collected information supports normal operation and service improvement.
- Keep pages available and responsive
- Send a search to the selected partner
- Measure which content visitors use
- Diagnose faults and security issues
- Display advertising that may reflect interests
Links Beyond Our Service
Links may lead to Orange County custody tools, police pages, court systems, government portals, or outside search services. Once a visitor leaves, the destination’s privacy policy governs its collection and use of data.
Advertising companies may use their own technology to measure activity across websites or select interest-based ads. That processing occurs on their systems, not ours.
Parties That May Receive Data
We do not sell personal information. Limited information may be handled by:
- Search partners processing submitted queries
- Analytics vendors measuring site use
- Advertising networks serving ads
- Law-enforcement or government authorities acting under a valid legal order
Security Practices
Reasonable administrative and technical safeguards are used to protect information. No internet service, network, or storage method is completely secure, so breach-proof security cannot be promised.
Visitors Under 18
This service is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. A parent or guardian who believes a minor submitted information may use the Get in Touch page to request deletion.
Your Privacy Choices
Subject to applicable law and the data actually held, a person may ask to:
- Receive a copy of personal data held
- Correct inaccurate personal information
- Delete eligible personal data
- Opt out of certain processing
Changes to This Notice
This privacy notice may be revised as technology or practices change. A revised version becomes effective when posted here with its updated effective date.
