Information You Submit
Search Queries
Names, locations, or other terms typed into a search box may be sent to the third-party provider that powers that tool. This site does not keep an independent official roster, booking database, or court-record index. Search partners may apply their own privacy terms, prices, and retention rules.
Messages
If you send an email or contact message, we may keep the name, email address, message text, and any details needed to respond. Messages are used to reply to the inquiry and are not sold. They may be disclosed if a valid legal order requires it.
Automatic Technical Data
Like most websites, this site may receive technical data when a page loads. That data helps operate the site, detect errors, understand traffic, and protect against abuse.
- IP address.
- Browser type and version.
- Device type and operating system.
- Pages viewed and time on page.
- Referring page or search engine, when available.
- Date and time stamps.
Cookies
Cookies and similar tools may be used for analytics, advertising, preferences, and site performance. Browser settings can block or delete cookies, although some features may work differently when cookies are disabled.
How Information Is Used
- To keep pages available and working correctly.
- To route search requests to the correct partner service.
- To understand which Hamilton County record pages are useful.
- To find and fix technical problems.
- To display advertising that may be relevant to site visitors.
Official jail, court, and booking records remain with the public offices that create them. Ohio's Public Records Act, ORC 149.43, governs access to many records kept by public offices, but this privacy notice governs only this private website's own handling of visitor data.
Outside Websites
This site links to sheriff pages, jail rosters, Hamilton County Clerk of Courts resources, ODRC, BOP, ICE, VINE, public-record forms, and third-party search providers. Once a visitor leaves this site, the destination site's privacy policy and terms control that visit.
Advertising partners may use cookies or other tools to measure ads and show interest-based advertising across websites. That activity happens through their systems, not through an official Hamilton County government system.
Who May Receive Data
Personal data is not sold as a customer list. It may be shared with limited parties that help operate or protect the site.
- Search partners that process submitted lookup terms.
- Analytics providers that measure site use.
- Advertising networks that serve or measure ads.
- Hosting, security, and technical service providers.
- Law enforcement, courts, or government bodies when a valid legal order requires disclosure.
Security Practices
Reasonable technical and organizational safeguards are used to protect information handled by the site. No internet-connected system can be guaranteed secure, and no website can promise that data will never be accessed, altered, or lost.
