Information You Submit
Terms Entered in Search Tools
When you type a name, location, or other query into a search box, that request is sent to the independent provider that powers the tool. Its policy and terms govern the query after submission. We do not store or log those search terms on our own systems.
Messages Sent to Us
If you email us or use a contact form, we retain the message and the details you provide so we can respond. We do not share that correspondence outside our organization unless disclosure is required by law.
Automatically Collected Details
Like most websites, technical systems may record basic information when a page loads. This data helps operate and assess the site and may include:
- Your Internet Protocol address.
- The browser name and version.
- Your device type and operating system.
- Pages viewed and time spent on them.
- The referring website, when one is supplied.
- The date and time of the request.
Cookie Use
Cookies and similar technology may help measure how visitors use the site. You can block or remove cookies through browser controls, although some functions may then work differently or be unavailable.
Reasons We Use Data
- Operate the site and keep its pages responsive.
- Send search requests to the selected partner service.
- Understand which San Bernardino County resources are most useful.
- Detect errors, abuse, and other technical problems.
- Display advertising that may be based on visitor interests.
Websites Beyond Our Control
Links lead to the Sheriff Inmate Locator, city police arrest logs, California corrections sources, court and government portals, and independent search tools. Once you leave this site, the destination’s privacy notice controls how it collects and uses information.
Advertising partners may use their own systems to recognize activity across multiple websites and select interest-based ads. That tracking occurs under the partner’s practices, not within a record maintained by this site.
Parties That May Receive Data
We do not sell personal information. Information may still be processed or disclosed to limited recipients needed to provide services or meet legal duties:
- Search partners that receive a submitted query.
- Analytics providers that measure traffic and performance.
- Advertising networks that deliver or assess ads.
- Law-enforcement agencies or other government bodies acting under a valid legal order.
Our Security Approach
We use standard administrative and technical safeguards suited to the information handled. No website, network, transmission method, or storage system can be guaranteed fully secure. We therefore cannot promise that a breach, interception, or unauthorized access will never occur.
Visitors Under Eighteen
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 use the Contact Us page to request deletion.
Your Privacy Choices
Subject to applicable law and our ability to verify a request, you may:
- Ask for a copy of personal data we hold about you.
- Request correction of inaccurate personal information.
- Ask that eligible information be erased.
- Opt out of certain uses or processing where that right applies.
These rights concern information held by this private site. Requests about a Sheriff record, city arrest log, court file, or partner database must go to the organization that controls it.
Changes to This Notice
We may revise this Privacy Notice as practices, services, or legal duties change. An updated version will appear here with a new effective date, and continued use will be governed by the posted notice.
