Information You Submit
Search Terms
A name, location, or other term entered in a search tool is sent to the third-party provider that operates the tool. This site does not keep or log those search terms on its own systems. The provider’s privacy terms govern the query once it is submitted.
Messages
If you send an email or contact-form message, the information in it may be retained long enough to understand and answer your request. Messages are not shared outside the organization unless disclosure is required by law.
Automatically Collected Details
Routine technical data may be recorded when a page loads. This data helps measure traffic, maintain service, and diagnose errors. It can include:
- Internet Protocol address;
- browser name and version;
- device class and operating system;
- pages viewed and time spent on them;
- the referring site, when available; and
- the date and time of the request.
Cookies
Cookies may be used to understand how visitors move through the site and to support site or advertising functions. You can block or remove cookies through browser controls. Some features may work differently when cookies are disabled.
How Information Is Used
Collected information may be used for the following operational purposes:
- keeping pages available, stable, and responsive;
- sending search requests to the selected partner service;
- learning which pages and features visitors use;
- finding, investigating, and correcting technical faults; and
- displaying advertising that may reflect visitor interests.
Links Beyond This Site
Links may lead to St. Louis County release-record services, Missouri courts and corrections pages, municipal offices, federal agencies, and third-party search tools. Once you follow a link, the destination’s privacy policy and data practices apply. This site does not control those systems.
Some advertising partners may use their own technology to recognize activity across websites and choose interest-based ads. That collection occurs through the partner’s systems, not as a database maintained by this site.
Parties That May Receive Data
Personal information is not sold. Depending on the feature used, limited data may be received by:
- search partners that process a submitted query;
- analytics providers that measure use and performance;
- advertising networks that serve or evaluate ads; and
- law-enforcement or government bodies acting under a valid legal order.
Security Measures and Limits
Reasonable, standard practices are used to protect information from unauthorized access or loss. No website, network, transmission method, or storage system can be guaranteed fully secure. This notice therefore does not promise that a breach or interception is impossible.
Visitors Under 18
This site is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If a parent or guardian believes a minor submitted personal data, contact the site and request its deletion.
Your Privacy Choices
Subject to applicable law and the ability to verify the request, you may:
- ask for a copy of personal data held about you;
- request correction of inaccurate personal information;
- ask that eligible personal data be erased; and
- opt out of certain processing where that choice is available.
These choices concern data held by this private site. Missouri Sunshine Law records held by St. Louis County, a court, a municipality, or MODOC must be addressed with the government custodian under the rules that apply to that record.
Changes to This Notice
This privacy notice may be revised as services, legal duties, or data practices change. An updated version will be posted on this page with a new effective date. Continued use after publication means the revised notice applies.
