Information You Submit
Search entries
A name, location, or other term entered in a search tool is sent to the third-party company that operates that tool. We do not store or log those search terms on our own systems. The provider’s privacy terms govern its receipt and processing of the query.
Messages
If you email us or use a contact form, we retain the message and contact details as needed to respond. We do not share the message outside our organization unless disclosure is required by law.

Cookies
Cookies and similar technologies help measure how visitors use the site. Browser controls can reject or remove them. Blocking cookies may cause some site or partner features to work differently.
How Information Is Used
Collected information is used for ordinary site operations and improvement.
- Keep pages available, responsive, and secure
- Send a search request to the appropriate partner service
- Understand which content is useful
- Diagnose errors and technical faults
- Display advertising that may reflect visitor interests
Outside Websites and Advertising
Links may lead to Hamilton County release sources, sheriff and corrections pages, government portals, or independent search services. Once a visitor follows a link, the destination’s own privacy notice controls its collection and use of information.
Some advertising providers may use their own technology to measure activity across websites and select interest-based ads. That tracking occurs through their systems rather than ours.
Parties Receiving Information
We do not sell personal information. Data may be handled by search partners that process submitted queries, analytics providers that measure use, and advertising networks that deliver ads. We may also disclose information to law enforcement or another government body when required by a valid legal order.
Security Limits
We use customary administrative and technical safeguards appropriate to the information handled. No internet-connected service can be made completely secure, so we cannot promise that a breach, loss, or unauthorized access will never occur.
Visitors Under Eighteen
The site is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. A parent or guardian who believes a minor submitted information may use the Contacts page to request deletion.
Your Privacy Choices
Subject to applicable law and our ability to verify the request, a person may ask for a copy of personal data we hold, correction of inaccurate information, deletion, or an opt-out from certain processing. Browser controls also provide choices for cookies. Contact us with enough detail to identify the relevant information.
Changes to This Notice
We may revise this notice as practices, services, or legal duties change. A revised version becomes effective when posted here and will carry an updated effective date.
