Data You Give Us Directly
Search Queries
A name or location submitted through a search tool is transmitted directly to the outside company operating that tool for processing and results. We do not retain or record those search terms on our systems.
Messages and Contact Submissions
We retain an email or other direct message as needed to respond. It is kept within our organization unless disclosure is legally required.
Data We Gather Automatically
Our servers automatically receive certain technical details when a visitor loads a page, including:
- Page-view times and dates
- The referring website, when available
- Pages viewed and the time spent on them
- Device category and operating system
- Browser type and version
- The device's IP address
Cookies and Analytics
Small files called cookies may be stored on a visitor's device to help us understand traffic patterns, such as frequently viewed pages and common exit points. Analytics providers aggregate this usage information. Cookies can be disabled in browser settings, although doing so may change how some site features work.
What We Do With This Data
- Diagnosing errors and other technical problems
- Maintaining site availability and performance
- Understanding which content is useful and where improvements are needed
- Routing a submitted search to the appropriate outside provider
- Displaying advertising that may reflect visitor interests
No Criminal-Record Data on File
No database of personal criminal-record information is compiled, maintained, or sold here. General directions identify Marin County record holders, including the Sheriff's Records Division, Marin Superior Court, the California Department of Justice, and the California Megan's Law Website. Visitor data is not turned into a consumer report or a record about another person.
Third-Party Search Partners
Independent companies provide the site's search tools. Information entered there is governed by that provider's privacy policy rather than this policy. Each provider controls its own retention and disclosure rules, so visitors should read those terms before running a search.
Links to Other Websites
Links may lead to sheriff and court resources, California agency pages, legal-aid organizations, or commercial search services. Once a visitor follows an external link, the destination's privacy terms apply. Review them before providing personal information.
Some advertising companies may use activity across multiple websites to select ads. Any such tracking occurs through their systems.
Who Might See Your Data
Personal information is not sold. It may, however, be available to:
- Analytics vendors measuring site use and performance
- Advertising networks serving content on these pages
- Outside search providers processing a visitor's query
- Government or law-enforcement authorities acting under a valid legal demand
How We Protect Your Data
Reasonable, commonly accepted safeguards are used for information we collect. No internet transmission or storage system is completely secure, however, and we cannot guarantee that unauthorized access will never occur.
Users Under 18
The website is intended for adults, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone younger than 18. If we learn that a minor supplied such information, we will remove it.
Your Data Rights
California law may grant additional control over personal information. The California Public Records Act governs access to public agency records, while California Penal Code sections 11105 and 13300 limit dissemination of state summary and local criminal-history information. Subject to applicable law, a visitor may:
- Request deletion of personal data
- Ask to opt out of eligible processing activities
- Seek correction of inaccurate information
- Request access to personal information we hold
Updates to This Policy
This policy may be revised from time to time. A revised version will appear on this page with an updated effective date, so visitors should review it periodically.
Effective date: July 16, 2026
