Information You Provide
Search Entries
A name, place, or other term entered into a search tool is transmitted to the third-party provider that operates that tool. This site does not store or log those search terms on its own systems.
Messages Sent to Us
If a visitor sends an email or a message through a contact method, the message and its contact details may be retained to reply. They are not shared outside the organization unless disclosure is required by law.

- The visitor’s IP address.
- Browser name and version.
- Device type and operating system.
- Pages viewed and the time spent on them.
- The referring website, if one is supplied.
- Visit dates and times.

How Information Is Used
Technical and voluntarily provided information may be used for the ordinary operation and improvement of the site.

External Websites and Tools
This site links to official county, court, corrections, and custody resources, as well as third-party search tools. Once a visitor follows a link, that destination’s privacy practices and terms apply. Missouri public-record requests are handled by the responsible government custodian under laws including RSMo §610.023, not by this site.
Advertising partners may also collect activity across websites for interest-based advertising on their own systems. This site does not control those partners’ tracking practices.
Parties That May Receive Data
This site does not sell personal information. Information may nevertheless be processed or disclosed through the following limited channels:
- Search partners that process a submitted query.
- Analytics providers that measure site performance.
- Advertising networks that serve advertisements.
- Law-enforcement or government bodies responding to a valid legal order.
Security Practices
Reasonable security measures are used to protect information, but no internet-connected service can promise complete security. This site cannot guarantee that stored or transmitted information will never be accessed, altered, or lost.
