Data You Give Us Directly
Search Queries
A name or location entered in a search tool is sent directly to the outside company that operates that tool. The provider processes the request and supplies its results. We do not retain or record those search terms on our systems.
Messages and Contact Submissions
We retain an email long enough to review and answer it. Messages remain within our organization unless disclosure is required by a valid legal obligation.
Data We Gather Automatically
Our servers automatically receive basic technical information when a page loads:
- Timestamps for each page view
- The referring site, when one is available
- Pages viewed and the time spent on them
- Browser name and version
- Device type and operating system
- The device's assigned IP address
Cookies and Analytics
Cookies are small files placed on a device. They help analytics services combine traffic data, such as which pages are used most often and where visits end. You can block cookies through browser settings, although doing so may change how some site functions behave.
What We Do With This Data
- Showing ads that may line up with your interests
- Diagnosing errors and other technical problems
- Understanding which pages are useful or need improvement
- Directing a search request to the selected partner service
- Operating the site and maintaining its performance
No Criminal-Record Data on File
We do not build, keep, or sell a database of personal criminal records. Morgan County guidance identifies official sources such as the Sheriff's Office, Circuit Clerk, Missouri State Highway Patrol Central Repository, and Missouri Sex Offender Registry. Visitor information is never assembled into a consumer report or a file about another person, and this site is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act.
Third-Party Search Partners
Independent companies power the search boxes. Their own privacy terms govern anything submitted to those tools, including retention and disclosure practices that we do not control. Review the selected provider's policy before running a search.
Links to Other Websites
Links may lead to a sheriff, court portal, Missouri agency, legal resource, or independent search service. Once you leave this domain, the destination's privacy policy applies. Read those terms before providing personal information.
Advertising providers may use their own systems to measure activity across websites and select interest-based ads.
Who Might See Your Data
Personal data is not sold. Limited information may be available to:
- Ad networks that place ads on our pages
- Analytics providers that measure traffic and performance
- Search providers selected to process a query
- Government or law-enforcement bodies acting under a valid legal order
How We Protect Your Data
Reasonable, commonly used safeguards protect the information we handle. No internet service can guarantee perfect security, so we cannot promise that unauthorized access will never occur.
Users Under 18
This resource is intended for adults, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from a person under 18. If we learn that a minor provided such data, we will remove it.
Your Data Rights
Rights can vary by residence. Missouri's Sunshine Law, Chapter 610, governs public government records, while section 43.506 addresses criminal-history dissemination. Those laws do not turn this private site into a government record custodian. With respect to data we control, you may:
- Request that we erase your data
- Ask what personal information we hold about you
- Opt out of certain kinds of data processing
- Request correction of inaccurate personal information
Updates to This Policy
This policy may be revised as services or practices change. A new version will appear here with its updated effective date.
