Data You Give Us Directly
Search Queries
A name or location entered in a search tool is sent to the outside provider that operates that tool. The provider processes the request and supplies its results. Search terms are not stored or logged by this website.
Messages and Contact Submissions
An email message may be retained long enough to respond and maintain the related correspondence. It is kept within the operating team unless disclosure is required by law.
Data We Gather Automatically
When a page loads, servers may automatically receive technical information about the visit:
- 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 files placed on a device to help measure page use and traffic patterns. Analytics providers may combine that activity into summary statistics. Browser controls can block cookies, though 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
No database of personal criminal-record information is maintained, compiled, or sold here. The content identifies the official custodians of Stoddard County records, including the sheriff, Missouri courts, the Missouri State Highway Patrol Central Repository, and the Missouri Sex Offender Registry. Visitor data is not assembled into consumer reports or third-party criminal files, and this site is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act.
Third-Party Search Partners
Outside companies power the search boxes. Information submitted there is governed by the provider’s privacy policy rather than this policy. Each provider controls its own retention and sharing practices, so review those terms before using the tool.
Links to Other Websites
Links may lead to sheriff, court, state-agency, legal-aid, or outside search pages. Once a visitor leaves this website, the destination’s own privacy terms apply. Those terms should be read before personal information is submitted.
Advertising providers may use their systems to measure activity across websites and select ads. That processing occurs under the provider’s controls.
Who Might See Your Data
Personal data is not sold. Limited information may be available 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 security practices are used to protect collected information. No internet system is completely secure, however, and the absence of a future breach cannot be guaranteed.
Users Under 18
The website is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. A verified report that a minor supplied such data will be addressed by removing it.
Your Data Rights
Missouri law can affect access to government-held information through the Missouri Sunshine Law, chapter 610 RSMo, while section 43.506 RSMo controls dissemination of reportable criminal-history events. Depending on the data and applicable law, requests may include:
- 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 when practices or legal duties change. The current version will appear here with its effective date.
Effective date: July 30, 2026
