Information You Submit
Search Terms
A name, location, or other term entered into a search box is transmitted to the outside provider that operates the tool. The site itself does not keep a log of those search terms.
Messages
An email or contact message may be retained long enough to respond and maintain the exchange. It is not shared beyond the organization unless disclosure is required by law.
Automatic Technical Details
Normal web operations may collect limited technical and usage information during a visit, including:
- the visitor's internet protocol address;
- browser name and version;
- device type and operating system;
- pages viewed and time spent on them;
- the referring website, when supplied; and
- date and time stamps.
Cookies
Cookies can help measure how people use the site. Browser controls can refuse or remove them, though some features may then work differently.
Reasons Data Is Used
Collected information supports a short set of operating needs:
- keeping pages available and responsive;
- sending searches to the selected partner service;
- learning which public resources are useful;
- diagnosing errors and technical problems; and
- displaying advertising that may reflect general interests.
Sites Beyond This Domain
Links may lead to Cass County release records, sheriff and corrections pages, government portals, or outside search services. Each destination applies its own privacy policy after a visitor leaves this domain.
Advertising providers may use their own technology to measure activity across websites and choose interest-based ads. That processing occurs on their systems.
Limited Data Sharing
Personal information is not sold. It may be disclosed only to service providers or authorities with a valid basis, including:
- search partners that process submitted queries;
- analytics providers;
- advertising networks; and
- law enforcement or another government body acting under a valid legal order.
Reasonable Security Measures
Standard safeguards are used to protect information. No website or internet transmission can be promised as completely secure, so the site does not offer a breach-proof guarantee.
Adults Only
The site is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under 18. A parent or guardian may use the Contacts page to request deletion if a minor submitted information.
Available Privacy Choices
Subject to applicable law, a person may ask to:
- receive a copy of personal information held here;
- correct inaccurate details;
- delete information that is no longer required; or
- opt out of processing when that choice applies.
Changes to This Notice
This privacy notice may be revised as services or practices change. A new version becomes effective when posted with its updated date.
