Information You Submit
Search entries
A name, place, or other term entered in a search tool is sent to the third-party provider that operates that tool. We do not keep or log those search terms on our systems.

If you send an email or contact message, we keep the information needed to respond. We do not disclose it outside the organization unless the law requires us to do so.
Automatic Technical Data
Normal web systems can record technical details when a page loads. These may include an IP address, browser and version, device and operating system, pages viewed and time spent, the referring page, and timestamps.
Cookies
Cookies may help measure how visitors use the site. You may block them through your browser, though parts of the site may then work differently.
How Data Is Used

Links and Advertising
Links may lead to BCSO, police records pages, court systems, custody locators, news outlets, and outside search tools. Once you leave, the destination’s privacy terms apply. Advertising providers may measure activity across sites on their own systems to select ads.
When Data May Be Shared
We do not sell personal information. Limited data may be available to search partners that process a query, analytics providers, advertising networks, or law-enforcement and government bodies acting under a valid legal order.
Security Practices
Reasonable safeguards are used, but no internet service is immune from every failure or attack. We cannot promise breach-proof storage or transmission.
Visitors Under Eighteen
The site is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. A parent or guardian may contact us to request deletion if a minor submitted information.
