Data You Give Us Directly
Search Queries
A name or location entered in a search tool is sent directly to the outside provider operating that tool. The provider processes the request and returns its response. We do not keep or log those search terms on our systems.
Messages and Contact Submissions
We retain an email or other direct message long enough to answer and manage the correspondence. It remains within our team unless disclosure is required by law.
Data We Gather Automatically
Our servers receive standard technical information whenever a page loads:
- Page-view dates and times
- The referring website, when one is supplied
- Visited pages and the time spent on them
- Browser name and version
- Device category and operating system
- The IP address assigned to the device
Cookies and Analytics
Cookies are small files placed on a device. They help measure traffic patterns, popular pages, and points where visits end. Analytics providers combine that activity into broader usage reports. A browser can block cookies, although some site functions may then work differently.
What We Do With This Data
- Routing a search request to the selected partner
- Diagnosing errors and other technical problems
- Maintaining site speed, availability, and operation
- Measuring which pages are useful or need improvement
- Displaying advertising that may reflect visitor interests
No Criminal-Record Data on File
We do not maintain, compile, or sell a database of personal criminal records. The site identifies where Dunklin County files may be requested from the Sheriff's Office, Circuit Court, Missouri State Highway Patrol CJIS repository, and Missouri Sex Offender Registry. We are not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act. Visitor data is not assembled into a consumer report or a record about another person.
Third-Party Search Partners
Outside companies operate the search boxes. Information entered there is governed by the provider's privacy policy rather than this policy. Each provider controls its own retention and disclosure practices. Review those terms before running a search.
Links to Other Websites
Links lead to government offices, court portals, state agencies, legal resources, and outside search services. Once a visitor leaves this website, the destination's privacy rules apply. Check them before supplying personal information.
Advertising partners may use their own systems to measure activity across websites and select targeted ads.
Who Might See Your Data
Personal data is not sold. Limited information may be available to:
- Analytics providers measuring traffic and performance
- Search providers processing a query sent to their tool
- Advertising networks serving ads on the pages
- Government or law-enforcement bodies acting under a valid legal order
How We Protect Your Data
Reasonable, standard safeguards protect collected information. No internet system is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee that a breach will never occur.
Users Under 18
The website is intended for adults, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If a minor's data is identified, we will remove it.
Your Data Rights
Applicable law may provide rights over personal data. Missouri's Sunshine Law, Chapter 610, and the criminal-history definitions in Section 43.500 govern public agency records and do not turn this private site into a government record custodian. Subject to applicable law, you may:
- Object to certain forms of data processing
- Request deletion of data associated with you
- Ask that inaccurate information be corrected
- Request a copy of personal information we retain
Updates to This Policy
This policy may be revised. Any new version will appear here with an updated effective date.
