Privacy Notice

This notice explains what information DeKalb County Recent Arrests receives, how it is used, and when it may be shared. By using the site, you accept the practices described here.

Information You Submit

Search Terms

A name or location entered into a search box is transmitted to the outside provider operating that tool. We do not store or log those search terms on our own systems. The provider's policy controls its receipt and use of the query.

Messages

If you email us or submit a contact message, we retain the content and contact details needed to respond. We do not disclose a message outside our organization unless the response requires a service provider or disclosure is legally required.


Technical Data Collected Automatically

Routine logs and measurement tools may receive technical information when a page loads, including:

  • Your Internet Protocol address
  • Browser name and version
  • Device type and operating system
  • Pages viewed and time spent on them
  • The referring page or site, when supplied
  • Date and time stamps

Cookies

Cookies help measure how visitors use the site and may support advertising. Browser controls can reject or remove cookies, though some features may then work differently.


How Information Is Used

Collected information supports the operation and improvement of the service. It may be used to:

  • Keep pages available and responsive
  • Send a search request to the selected partner
  • Understand which content is useful
  • Detect and repair technical problems
  • Display advertising that may reflect visitor interests

Links and Advertising

Links may lead to jail rosters, police or sheriff pages, court and corrections portals, custody-notification systems, and outside search services. Once you leave, the destination's privacy terms apply rather than this notice.

Advertising companies may use their own tools to measure activity across websites and tailor ads. That tracking occurs on their systems and is governed by their policies.


Who May Receive Data

We do not sell personal information. Limited information may be handled by:

  • Search partners that process submitted queries
  • Analytics providers that measure site use
  • Advertising networks that serve or assess ads
  • Law-enforcement or government bodies acting under a valid legal order

Our Security Practices

Reasonable administrative and technical safeguards are used to protect information. No website, network, or storage system can be guaranteed secure, so we cannot promise that a breach will never occur.


Visitors Under Eighteen

This service is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under eighteen. A parent or guardian who believes a minor submitted information may contact us to request deletion.


Your Privacy Choices

Subject to applicable law and our ability to verify a request, you may ask to:

  • Receive a copy of personal information we hold
  • Correct inaccurate personal information
  • Delete eligible information
  • Opt out of certain processing

Changes to This Notice

We may revise this notice as our practices or legal duties change. The updated version will appear here with a new effective date, and continued use will be governed by the posted version.
