Information You Provide
Search Queries
When you enter a name, location, or other search term into a search tool supplied by a partner, that query is sent to the third-party provider that operates the tool. We do not keep a separate site-side log of those search terms. The provider's own privacy notice and terms apply to its search forms, account pages, prices, and results.
Messages and Emails
If you email us or send a message through a contact option, we use the information in that message to read it, respond, and manage the request. We do not share those messages outside our organization unless needed to operate the site, respond to your request, or comply with a valid legal obligation.
Information Collected Automatically
Like most websites, this site may collect technical data when a page loads. That data helps diagnose errors, understand site use, and keep the pages available.

- Browser name, browser version, and language settings.
- Device type, screen size, and operating system.
- Pages viewed and the time spent on them.
- Referring website or search engine, if available.

Cookies
Cookies and similar tools may be used to measure page use, remember basic preferences, support advertising, and improve site performance. You can block or delete cookies through your browser. Some features may load or behave differently if cookies are disabled.
How Data Is Used
- To keep the site available, readable, and fast.

Links and Public Portals
This site links to King County jail pages, DAJD records resources, Washington DOC, Washington VINE, BOP, ICE, court portals, and other outside websites. Once you leave this site, the linked site controls its own privacy practices, security, records rules, and response process.
Requests submitted to government agencies may become public records or may be handled under public-record laws, including Washington's Public Records Act, RCW 42.56, and agency-specific confidentiality rules. Some advertising partners may also use their own cookies or tracking tools on their systems for ad measurement or interest-based ads.

We do not sell personal contact messages. Limited data may be available to service providers or authorities in the situations below.
- Search partners that receive queries typed into their tools.
- Analytics providers that help measure page use and performance.
- Advertising networks that serve or measure ads.
- Law enforcement, courts, or government bodies when required by subpoena, court order, or other valid legal process.
Security Practices
We use ordinary administrative, technical, and operational safeguards to protect site information. No internet-connected service can be guaranteed breach-proof, and no data transmission can be made fully secure. Use care before sending sensitive details through email or third-party search tools.
