Information You Provide Yourself
Names Typed into Search Tools
The search boxes on this site are operated by outside record-search partners. When you enter a name, a city, or any other detail into one of them, that query goes straight to the partner that runs the tool. We do not log it, store it, or see it on our end. The partner's own privacy policy controls what happens to it after that.
Messages You Send Us
If you email us or use a contact form, we keep the message only as long as needed to answer it. We do not pass your message to anyone outside the site's operation unless a law or a court order forces us to.
Information Collected in the Background
Like nearly every website, the site records some technical details automatically each time a page loads.
- Your IP address
- The browser you use and its version
- Your device type and operating system
- Which pages you open and how long you stay on each
- The site that referred you here, when there is one
- The date and time of each visit
Cookies
Small cookie files help us see how visitors move through the site. Your browser settings let you block or delete cookies whenever you want. Some features may behave differently with cookies turned off, but the pages will still load.
How That Information Gets Used
The technical data serves a few practical jobs and nothing beyond them.
- Keeping the site online and loading quickly
- Sending search requests to the correct partner service
- Showing us which pages actually help readers
- Spotting and fixing broken pages or technical faults
- Letting ad networks show ads that may match your interests
Outside Websites We Link To
Pages on this site link to government resources such as the Manchester Police Department site, Connecticut DOC inmate search, the Judicial Branch case lookup, and the federal BOP and ICE locators, along with third-party search tools. The moment you click through, that destination's own privacy rules take over. Read them if you are concerned about how an agency or company handles visitor data.
Some advertising partners may also track activity across different websites to build interest profiles. That tracking runs on their systems, not ours, and their policies govern it.
Who Could Receive Your Information
We do not sell personal information. Even so, some of the data described above can reach the following parties in the normal course of running the site.
- The record-search partners that process queries typed into their tools
- The analytics services that measure site traffic
- The ad networks that place advertising on the pages
- Law enforcement or other government bodies, when a valid legal order requires it
How the Data Is Protected
We follow standard security practices for hosting and transmission. Still, no system connected to the internet can be made completely safe, and we cannot promise that a breach will never happen. Treat anything you submit online with that limit in mind.
Visitors Under 18
The site is written for adults. We do not knowingly gather information from anyone under 18. If you believe a minor has submitted personal details here, contact us and we will delete them.
Choices You Have
You can exercise any of the following choices about data connected to you.
- Ask for a copy of whatever information we hold about you
- Ask us to correct something that is wrong
- Ask us to erase your information
- Opt out of certain kinds of processing, such as analytics
Changes to This Notice
We may revise this notice as the site or the law changes. Any new version appears on this page with a fresh effective date, and the posted version is the one that applies.
