Modoc Privacy Notice

This notice describes what information may be collected when someone uses this site, how it supports site operations, and when service providers or authorities may receive it. By continuing to use the site, you accept these practices.

Information You Submit

Terms Entered in Search

A name or location entered into a search tool is sent to the third-party provider operating that tool. This site does not keep or log those search terms on its own systems.

Messages Sent to Us

We retain email or contact-form messages as needed to answer them. We do not share those messages outside the organization unless the law requires disclosure.


Technical Data Collected

Standard technical details may be recorded when a page loads, including:

  • Internet Protocol address
  • Browser type and version
  • Device type and operating system
  • Pages viewed and time spent on them
  • The referring website, when available
  • Date and time stamps

Cookies and Controls

Cookies help measure how visitors use the site. A browser can reject or delete cookies, although blocking them may change how some features work.


How Data Is Used

  • Operate the site and maintain performance
  • Send a search request to the selected partner
  • Understand which pages visitors use
  • Diagnose and repair technical faults
  • Present advertising that may reflect user interests

Privacy Beyond This Site

Links lead to sheriff and corrections pages, government portals, public-record resources, news pages, and third-party search tools. After a visitor follows a link, the destination's privacy policy controls its collection and use of data.

Some advertising partners may measure activity across different sites to tailor ads. That tracking occurs through the partner's systems, not records maintained by this site.


When Data May Be Shared

We do not sell personal information. Limited data may be provided to:

  • Search partners that process submitted queries
  • Analytics providers that measure site use
  • Advertising networks serving ads
  • Law enforcement or government bodies acting under a valid legal order

Reasonable Security Measures

We use standard practices intended to protect information. No internet-connected service is completely secure, so we cannot promise that a breach will never occur.


Use by Minors

The site is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under 18. A parent or guardian may contact us to request deletion if a minor submitted information.


Your Privacy Choices

  • Ask for a copy of personal data we hold
  • Request correction of inaccurate personal data
  • Ask that eligible data be deleted
  • Opt out of certain processing where the law provides that right

Changes to This Notice

This privacy notice may be revised. An updated version will be posted here with a new effective date.
