Data You Give Us Directly
Search Queries
A name or location entered in a search tool is sent directly to the outside company that operates that tool. The provider processes the query and supplies its results; we do not retain or log those search terms on our systems.
Messages and Contact Submissions
We retain an email message when needed to respond. It remains within our organization unless disclosure is required by law.
Data We Gather Automatically
Our servers automatically receive basic technical information when a page loads:
- The IP address assigned to your device
- Which browser you are using and its version
- Your device type and operating system
- The pages you visited and how long you stayed on each
- The site that sent you here, if any
- Timestamps for each page view
Cookies and Analytics
Cookies are small device files that help show how visitors move through the website, including popular pages and common exit points. Analytics providers combine that traffic information. A browser can block cookies, although doing so may change how some features behave.
What We Do With This Data
- Keeping the site up, running, and loading quickly
- Sending your search requests to the right partner service
- Figuring out which pages people find useful and which need work
- Tracking down and fixing technical issues
- Showing ads that may line up with your interests
No Criminal-Record Data on File
We do not maintain, compile, or sell a database of personal criminal records. Our pages explain how to request Jefferson County records from the Sheriff, the Clerk, the Florida Department of Law Enforcement, Division of Criminal Justice Information Services, and the Florida Sexual Offenders and Predators Search. Florida Public Records Law, principally Chapter 119, and section 943.053, Florida Statutes, govern access and dissemination by the responsible public custodians; they do not turn this private site into a records repository. This site is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, and visitor information is never assembled into a consumer report or a third-party criminal-history file.
Third-Party Search Partners
Outside companies operate this site's search boxes. Their own privacy policies, retention periods, and sharing practices govern anything entered there, and we do not control those choices. Read the applicable provider policy before sending a query.
Links to Other Websites
Links may lead to the Jefferson County Sheriff, court portals, Florida agencies, legal-aid organizations, or commercial search services. Once you leave this site, the destination's privacy policy controls. Review it before providing personal information.
Advertising providers may use their own systems to follow activity across websites for targeted advertising.
Who Might See Your Data
Personal data is not sold. It may be disclosed to:
- Search partners that handle queries you run on our site
- Analytics services we use to track traffic and performance
- Ad networks that place ads on our pages
- Law enforcement or government bodies when a valid legal order requires it
How We Protect Your Data
Reasonable, standard safeguards protect collected information. No internet-connected system is perfectly secure, however, so we cannot guarantee that a breach will never occur.
Users Under 18
The website is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone younger than 18. If we learn that a minor supplied such data, we will delete it promptly.
Your Data Rights
Rights may vary by residence. Florida's Digital Bill of Rights, sections 501.701 through 501.722, Florida Statutes, and the Florida Deceptive and Unfair Trade Practices Act, sections 501.201 through 501.213, may apply in qualifying circumstances. Florida Public Records Law, Chapter 119, governs public agencies rather than this private site. Subject to applicable law, you may:
- Ask for a copy of what we have on file about you
- Have us fix information that is wrong
- Request that we erase your data
- Opt out of certain kinds of data processing
Updates to This Policy
This policy may be revised. Any revision will appear on this page with a new effective date, so review it periodically for current practices.
Effective date: July 17, 2026
