Data You Give Us Directly
Search Queries
A name or place entered in a search tool is sent directly to the outside company that supplies that tool. The provider processes the query and displays its result. We do not retain a separate log of those search terms.
Messages and Contact Submissions
Messages sent by email may be kept long enough to answer and maintain the exchange. They remain within our organization unless disclosure is required by law.
Data We Gather Automatically
When a page loads, the server can collect routine technical details about that 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. They help show aggregate traffic patterns, such as popular pages and where visits end. Analytics services may assist with that measurement. A browser can reject cookies, although some features may then work differently.
What We Do With This Data
- Maintaining site availability, speed, and reliability
- Routing a submitted search to the selected partner
- Measuring which resources visitors use
- Diagnosing errors and technical failures
- Displaying advertising that may reflect visitor interests
No Criminal-Record Data on File
We do not build, keep, or sell a database of personal criminal records. Our material identifies how to request Shannon County records from the sheriff, the Circuit Court, the Missouri State Highway Patrol repository, and the Missouri Sex Offender Registry. Visitor information is not assembled into a consumer report or a dossier about another person, and this site is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act.
Third-Party Search Partners
Outside companies operate the search boxes. A query submitted there is governed by that provider's privacy policy, retention terms, and sharing rules. Review those terms before sending a search because we do not control the provider's practices.
Links to Other Websites
Links may lead to Missouri agencies, court systems, sheriff pages, legal resources, or outside search services. Once a visitor leaves this website, the destination's privacy terms apply. Check them before providing personal information.
Advertising companies may use their own systems to measure activity across sites and tailor ads. Their technology and policies govern that tracking.
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 data. No internet service can guarantee perfect security, so we cannot promise that unauthorized access will never occur.
Users Under 18
The website is intended for adults, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from a person under 18. If such information is identified, a request may be made for its deletion.
Your Data Rights
Missouri consumer-protection law, including the Missouri Merchandising Practices Act, RSMo §§407.010-.130, may apply along with the law of a visitor's residence. Subject to applicable law, a visitor may:
- 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 as practices or legal duties change. The replacement will appear here with its effective date.
