Information You Enter
Search Terms
When a visitor types a name, location, or other search detail into a third-party search box, that query is sent to the provider that powers the tool. This site does not keep its own separate log of those search terms.
Messages
If you send an email or other message about the site, the information in that message may be kept long enough to read it, respond, and handle any related follow-up. Those messages are not shared outside the organization unless a legal obligation requires it.
Information Collected Automatically
Like most websites, this site may receive technical data when a page loads, including:
- IP address.
- Browser name and version.
- Device type and operating system.
- Pages viewed and time spent on pages.
- Referring website, when one is available.
- Date and time stamps.
Cookies
Cookies and similar tools may be used to understand how visitors move through the site and to support advertising or analytics. Browser settings can block or delete cookies, although some functions may behave differently when cookies are disabled.
How Information Is Used
- To keep pages available, stable, and reasonably fast.
- To route search requests to the outside provider selected by the search tool.
- To understand which Guernsey County jail, court, and locator pages are useful to visitors.
- To diagnose broken links, display issues, and other technical problems.
- To support advertising that may be more relevant to a visitor's interests.
Outside Websites and Tools
This site links to sheriff pages, jail rosters, court portals, ODRC, BOP, ICE, VINELink, public-record request systems, and third-party search tools. Once a visitor leaves this site, the privacy policy of the destination website controls its collection and use of data.
Advertising partners may use their own systems to recognize activity across different websites for ad measurement or interest-based advertising.

- Analytics providers that help measure site traffic and performance.
- Advertising networks that serve or measure ads.
- Law-enforcement agencies, courts, regulators, or government bodies when a valid legal order requires disclosure.
Security
Reasonable security practices are used to protect information handled by the site. No website, server, or internet transmission can be guaranteed to be completely secure, so this notice does not promise breach-proof protection.
