Privacy Policy

This policy explains what Orange County Inmate Population collects, how that information is used, and when it may be shared. By using the site, you accept the practices described here. If anything is unclear, the contact page lists how to reach us.

Information You Provide Directly

Search Queries

When you type a name or location into a search tool on the site, that text goes to the third-party provider that runs the tool. We do not store or log those search terms on our own end, since the provider is the one that processes the request.

Messages You Send

If you email us or send a message through a contact form, we keep that message so we can reply. We do not share it outside our organization unless the law requires it.


Information Collected Automatically

Like most websites, this one records some technical details each time a page loads.

  • Your IP address.
  • The browser and version you use.
  • Your device type and operating system.
  • The pages you view and how long you stay on each.
  • The site that referred you, if any.
  • The date and time of your visit.

Cookies

Cookies help us see how visitors use the site. You can block them in your browser settings, though some features may work differently if you do.


How We Use This Information

  • To keep the site running and loading quickly.
  • To pass search requests to the right partner service.
  • To learn which pages are useful to visitors.
  • To find and fix technical problems.
  • To show advertising that may match your interests.

Links to Other Websites

The site links out to jail rosters, sheriff and corrections pages, government portals, and third-party search tools. Once you follow one of those links, that site's own privacy policy controls what happens to your information.

Some advertising partners may track activity across different websites to target ads. That tracking happens on their systems, not on ours.


Who May Receive Your Information

We do not sell personal data. It may reach the parties listed below.

  • Search partners that handle the queries you submit.
  • Analytics services that measure site use.
  • Advertising networks.
  • Law enforcement or government bodies acting under a valid legal order.

How We Protect Your Information

We follow standard security practices to guard the information we handle. No internet-connected system is completely secure, though, so we cannot promise that data can never be breached.


Visitors Under 18

This site is meant for adults. We do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 18. If you believe a minor has sent us data, contact us and we will delete it.


Your Rights Over Your Data

  • Ask for a copy of the data we hold about you.
  • Ask us to correct information that is wrong.
  • Ask us to erase your data.
  • Opt out of certain kinds of processing.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy from time to time. When we do, the new version is posted here with a fresh effective date.
