Information You Choose to Provide
Terms Entered in Search Tools
A name, place, or other term entered into a search box is transmitted to the third-party provider that operates that tool. Laclede County Recent Arrests does not store or log those search terms on its own systems. The provider handles the query under its separate privacy rules.
Messages Sent to Us
If you send an email or submit a contact message, we retain the information needed to read and answer it. Contact messages are not shared outside the organization unless disclosure is required by law or a valid legal process.
Technical Data Collected Automatically
Like most websites, our systems and service providers receive basic technical details when a page loads. This data helps deliver pages, understand use, and detect problems. It may include:
- Your Internet Protocol address
- Browser name and version
- Device type and operating system
- Pages viewed and time spent on them
- The referring website, when supplied
- Date and time stamps for visits
Cookies and Similar Storage
Cookies may be used to measure how visitors move through the site and to support advertising or site functions. You can limit or block cookies through browser controls. Some features may work differently or lose saved preferences when cookies are disabled.
Reasons We Use Information
Collected information is used only for ordinary site operations and related services. Those purposes include:
- Keeping pages available, responsive, and secure
- Sending search requests to the appropriate outside search partner
- Learning which Laclede County resource pages visitors find useful
- Finding errors, misuse, and technical failures
- Displaying advertising that may be matched to visitor interests
Privacy Beyond This Website
Links may lead to sheriff or police contacts, jail and booking resources, Missouri court and corrections portals, federal locators, archives, and third-party search tools. Once you leave this site, the destination’s privacy notice and data practices apply. We do not control those systems.
Some advertising providers may use their own technology to measure visits or support interest-based ads across multiple sites. That tracking occurs through the provider’s systems rather than a database maintained by Laclede County Recent Arrests.
Parties That May Receive Data
We do not sell personal information. Limited information may reach service providers or authorities when needed for the functions described in this notice:
- Search partners that process a query submitted to their tool
- Analytics providers that measure traffic and site performance
- Advertising networks that deliver or assess ads
- Law enforcement or government bodies acting under a valid legal order
Safeguarding Visitor Information
Reasonable administrative and technical practices are used to protect information in our control. No website, network, transmission method, or storage system can be guaranteed fully secure. We therefore cannot promise that data will always be immune from unauthorized access, loss, or misuse.
Visitors Younger Than 18
This site 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 contact us and request that the material be reviewed and deleted.
Choices About Your Data
Subject to applicable law and reasonable identity verification, you may ask us to:
- Provide a copy of personal information we hold about you
- Correct information that is inaccurate
- Delete personal information retained by us
- Stop or limit certain processing where an opt-out right applies
These requests cover information controlled by this site. A sheriff, court, search partner, advertiser, or other linked service controls its own records and request process.
Changes to This Notice
We may revise these privacy practices as the site, service providers, or legal requirements change. An updated notice will be posted on this page with a revised effective date, and continued use after posting is subject to the new version.
