Information You Submit
Search Queries
When a visitor enters a name, place, or other search term into a third-party search box, that query is sent to the provider that operates the tool. This site does not keep its own log of those search terms.
Messages
If you send an email or contact message, we may keep the message and reply information long enough to answer, handle follow-up, and keep basic business records. We do not share contact messages outside the organization unless a valid legal requirement applies.
Automatic Technical Data
Like most websites, this site may collect basic technical data when pages load. That data helps measure site performance, diagnose errors, and understand which Tulare County release-record pages visitors use most often.
- IP address.
- Browser name and version.
- Device type and operating system.
- Pages viewed and time spent on pages.
- Referring site, when one is available.
- Date and time stamps.
Cookies
Cookies and similar tools may be used to measure site use, remember basic preferences, and support advertising or analytics. You can block cookies in your browser settings, but some features or partner services may work differently after cookies are blocked.
How Data Is Used
- Keep the site available, readable, and fast.
- Route search requests to the partner service selected by the visitor.
- Learn which pages and links are useful.
- Find and fix technical problems.
- Show advertising that may be based on general interests or site activity.
Outside Websites
This site links to sheriff pages, Tulare Superior Court resources, CDCR/CIRIS, VINE, BOP, ICE, legal resources, and third-party search tools. Once you leave this site, the destination site's privacy policy and terms control how your information is handled.
Advertising partners and analytics providers may use their own cookies, pixels, or similar tools to understand activity across websites. Their collection happens on their systems, not in a records database controlled by this site.
Who May Receive Data
We do not sell personal contact information. Limited data may be processed by the services needed to operate, measure, and support the site.
- Search partners that process submitted queries.
- Analytics providers that measure traffic and errors.
- Ad networks that serve or measure ads.
- Law enforcement, courts, or government bodies when a valid legal order requires disclosure.
Security Practices
We use reasonable security practices for a small public reference site. No internet-connected service can be promised as breach-proof, so visitors should avoid sending sensitive personal details that are not needed for a basic site question.
Visitors Under 18
This site is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If a minor has submitted information, contact us so it can be reviewed and removed where appropriate.
Your Data Choices
- Ask for a copy of personal data we hold about you.
- Ask us to correct information that is wrong.
- Ask us to delete information when retention is not required.
- Opt out of certain processing where the law gives that right.
Policy Changes
This Privacy Notice may be updated as the site, search tools, advertising partners, or legal requirements change. Updated terms will be posted on this page with the current text controlling future use.
