Information You Hand Over Yourself
What You Type Into a Search
The lookup tools on this site are run by outside search providers, not by us. When you enter a name, a location, or any other term, that text travels straight to the provider that powers the tool. We do not keep a copy of your search words on our end, and we do not build a log of what people look up.
Notes You Send Us
If you write to us by email or through a contact form, we hold on to your message only long enough to read it and reply. Those messages stay inside our own operation. We will not pass them to anyone else unless a law or a valid legal order requires it.
Information Collected on Its Own
Like most websites, this one records a handful of technical details each time a page loads. These items are gathered automatically and do not depend on you filling anything out.
- The IP address your connection is using
- The web browser you are on and which version it is
- The kind of device and operating system you have
- Which pages you open and how long you stay on each one
- The site that sent you here, when there is one
- The date and time of each visit
Cookies
We rely on cookies to get a sense of how people move through the site and which pages get attention. You can turn cookies off through your browser settings if you would rather not allow them. Keep in mind that blocking them may cause certain parts of the site to behave differently than expected.
Why We Use This Information
- To keep the site online and running smoothly
- To send each lookup to the correct partner service
- To figure out which pages readers actually find helpful
- To spot technical problems and get them fixed
- To display advertising that may line up with your interests
Where Our Links Take You
Many of the records this site points toward are public under Connecticut's open-records law, the Connecticut Freedom of Information Act (CGS Chapter 14, Sec. 1-210). Those records are created and held by government agencies, not by this site. We connect you to official jail rosters, state and court portals, and third-party lookup tools, but once you click through to any of them you leave our control. The privacy policy of whatever site or service you land on governs what happens there, so it is worth reading it on your own.
Some of the advertising partners that appear here may follow what you do across different websites in order to serve ads aimed at you. That tracking happens on their own systems, under their own rules, and not on ours.
Who Might Receive Your Information
We do not sell personal information to anyone. In the normal course of running the site, though, certain data may reach the groups listed here.
- The search partners that process the lookups you start
- Analytics providers that help us measure how the site is used
- Advertising networks that deliver and manage ads
- Law enforcement or other government bodies when a valid legal order calls for it
Keeping Your Information Safe
We use reasonable, commonly accepted measures to guard the information we handle. Still, it is honest to say that no system connected to the internet can ever be made completely safe. For that reason we cannot promise that your data will never be exposed, and you should treat any online transmission with that limit in mind.
Visitors Below the Age of 18
This site is built for adults and is not meant for children. We do not knowingly gather information from anyone younger than 18. If you believe a minor has sent us details, reach out through our Contact Us page and we will remove that information.
The Choices You Have
- Ask for a copy of the information we hold about you
- Ask us to fix anything that is wrong
- Ask us to delete your information
- Opt out of certain kinds of processing
Changes to This Notice
We may revise this notice from time to time as the site or the law changes. When we do, the new version will appear right here on this page, carried under an updated effective date. Checking back now and then is the best way to stay current with how we handle information.
