Information You Submit
Search Entries
A name, location, or other term entered into a search tool is sent to the third-party provider that operates that tool. This site does not store or log those search terms on its own systems.
Messages
If you send an email or contact-form message, we keep the information needed to respond. We do not share that message outside our organization unless disclosure is legally required.
Technical Data Collected Automatically
Like most websites, our hosting and service providers may receive basic technical information when a page loads. That information can include:
- IP address;
- browser name and version;
- device type and operating system;
- pages visited and time spent on them;
- the referring site, if one is provided; and
- access dates and times.
Cookies
Cookies and similar tools help us understand site use and keep features working. You can restrict cookies through browser settings, although some features may work differently if you do.
How We Use Information
- to operate and improve the site;
- to pass a submitted search to the appropriate partner service;
- to understand which guidance is useful to visitors;
- to diagnose and correct technical problems; and
- to display advertising that may be interest-based.
External Websites and Services
This guide links to resources such as the Snohomish County Jail Register, Sheriff public-records pages, court portals, and outside search tools. Once you leave this site, that other service’s privacy terms apply. Government records held by an office may also be governed by Washington’s Public Records Act, chapter 42.56 RCW, rather than this notice.
Advertising partners may use their own systems to measure activity across websites and deliver interest-based advertising. Their practices are governed by their own policies.
Who May Receive Data
We do not sell personal information. Information may nevertheless be handled by the following recipients when needed for the stated purposes:
- search partners that process submitted queries;
- analytics providers;
- advertising networks; and
- law-enforcement or government authorities responding to a valid legal order.
Security Practices
We use reasonable safeguards intended to protect information within our control. No internet-connected system can promise complete security, so we cannot guarantee that a transmission or stored data will never be accessed improperly.
Visitors Under 18
This site is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If a minor has submitted personal information, contact us so we can review and delete it where appropriate.
Your Information Choices
- Ask for a copy of personal information we hold about you.
- Ask us to correct inaccurate personal information.
- Ask us to delete personal information, subject to legal or operational limits.
- Ask to opt out of certain processing where that option is available.
