Information You Enter
Search Terms
When a visitor enters a name, location, or similar search detail into a third-party search tool, that query is sent to the provider operating the tool. This site does not keep its own log of those search terms.
Messages
If someone sends an email or contact message, the information in that message may be kept long enough to read, route, and respond. It is not shared outside the organization unless a legal requirement applies.
Technical Information Collected Automatically
Like most websites, this site may receive routine technical details during a page visit.
- IP address

- Device type and operating system

Cookies
Cookies and similar tools may be used to understand site traffic and visitor behavior. Browser settings can block or delete cookies, though some features may work differently when cookies are disabled.

Outside Websites and Services
This site links to sheriff pages, jail information pages, Colorado court resources, CDOC, BOP, ICE, VINELink, and third-party search tools. Once a visitor leaves this site, the destination site's privacy policy and data practices control.
Advertising partners may use their own systems to recognize activity across websites and deliver targeted ads. That tracking is handled by those partners, not by this site's local records content.

- Advertising networks.
- Law-enforcement agencies, courts, or government bodies when required by a valid legal order.
Security
Reasonable security practices are used, but no website, server, network, or internet-connected system can be guaranteed breach-proof.
