Information You Submit
Search Terms
A name or location entered in a search box is sent to the third-party provider that operates that tool. This site does not store or log those search terms on its own systems. The provider’s policy controls its handling of the query.
Messages
If you email or otherwise send a message, we keep the supplied contact details and message long enough to respond and manage the exchange. We do not share a message outside the organization unless doing so is required by law.
Technical Data Collected Automatically
Routine web systems can record limited technical information when a page loads. This data helps operate, secure, and improve the site.
- Internet Protocol address
- Browser name and version
- Device type and operating system
- Pages viewed and time spent
- Referring page or site, when supplied
- Date and time of the request
Cookies
Cookies and similar tools help measure how visitors use the site. Browser controls can reject or remove cookies, though some functions may work differently when they are blocked.
How Information Supports the Site
Collected information is used only for normal site and service functions.
- Keep pages available and responsive
- Send search requests to the selected provider
- Measure which information visitors find useful
- Diagnose errors, abuse, and security problems
- Present advertising that may reflect general interests
Outside Websites and Advertising
Links can lead to Madison County sheriff resources, Mississippi corrections and court portals, federal locators, and third-party search services. Once a visitor follows a link, the destination’s privacy policy and systems control data handling.
Advertising partners may use their own technology to measure activity across websites and select ads. That collection takes place on their systems, not under this site’s direct control.
Who May Receive Information
We do not sell personal information. Data may be provided to limited parties that perform or protect site functions.
- Search partners processing a submitted query
- Analytics providers measuring site use
- Advertising networks delivering ads
- Law enforcement or another government body acting under a valid legal order
Reasonable Security Measures
Standard administrative and technical safeguards are used to protect information. No internet-connected service can promise perfect security, so this notice does not claim that data is immune from unauthorized access or loss.
Visitors Under Eighteen
The site is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal data 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 the data actually held, a person may ask to exercise common privacy rights.
- Request a copy of personal data held
- Correct inaccurate personal information
- Ask for deletion of personal data
- Opt out of processing where an applicable right permits it
These requests concern this site’s data. Official Madison County, MDOC, court, VINE, BOP, or ICE records must be addressed to the government office or service that controls them. Mississippi public-record access is governed by Miss. Code Ann. §§25-61-1 through 25-61-19, but that law does not replace the privacy terms of outside services.
Changes to This Notice
This privacy notice may be revised as site practices or legal requirements change. A new version takes effect when posted here with its updated effective information.
