Information You Submit
Search Terms
A name, location, or other term entered in a search box 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 its handling of the query.
Messages
If you send an email or contact-form message, the information in it is kept as needed to understand and answer the request. It is not shared outside the organization unless service delivery requires it or disclosure is legally required.
Technical Data Collected Automatically
Ordinary server, security, analytics, or advertising systems may receive technical details when a page loads:
- The internet protocol address used for the visit.
- Browser name, version, and settings.
- Device type and operating system.
- Pages visited and approximate time spent on them.
- The referring page or site, when supplied.
- Date and time stamps tied to requests.
Cookies
Cookies and similar tools help measure use and support site functions. A browser can block or remove cookies, though some search, preference, analytics, or advertising features may then work differently.
How Information Is Used
Collected information supports a limited set of operating needs:
- Delivering pages and maintaining reasonable speed.
- Sending a search request to the selected partner tool.
- Learning which resources visitors use.
- Finding errors, abuse, and security problems.
- Displaying advertising that may reflect visitor interests.
Links Beyond This Site
Links may lead to municipal police pages, CT DOC, courts, official custody locators, news outlets, and third-party search tools. Once a visitor leaves, the destination's privacy policy and data practices apply. This site does not control them.
Advertising providers may use their own technology to understand activity across sites and tailor ads. That processing occurs through the provider's systems and is governed by its policies.
Parties That May Receive Data
Personal information is not sold as a standalone product. It may be processed or disclosed to:
- Search partners that receive submitted queries.
- Analytics providers measuring site performance.
- Advertising networks serving or measuring ads.
- Law enforcement or another public body acting under a valid legal order.
Reasonable Security Measures
Common administrative and technical safeguards are used to protect information. No internet service, network, or storage method is completely secure, so this notice cannot promise that a breach, loss, or unauthorized access will never occur.
Visitors Under Eighteen
This site is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. A parent or guardian who believes a minor submitted information may request that it be reviewed and deleted.
Your Privacy Choices
Subject to applicable law and verification, a visitor may ask to:
- Receive a copy of personal data held by this site.
- Correct information that is wrong.
- Delete information that no longer must be kept.
- Object to or opt out of certain processing.
These rights concern data controlled by this site. Connecticut police, court, and correctional records are held by their public custodians and follow separate access, correction, and erasure rules.
Changes to This Notice
This privacy notice may be revised as practices, providers, or legal duties change. The updated version takes effect when it is posted with a new effective date.
