Information You Submit
Terms Entered in Search Tools
A name, place, or other term entered in a search box is transmitted to the outside provider that operates the tool. Ray County Recent Arrests does not store or log those search terms on its own systems.
Messages Sent to Us
If you send an email or use a contact form, we retain the message and contact details as needed to respond. We do not share that correspondence outside our organization unless the law requires disclosure.
Technical Data Collected Automatically
Routine technical records may be created when a page loads. Depending on the service involved, those records can include:
- The connecting Internet Protocol address.
- The browser name and software version.
- The device category and operating system.
- Pages viewed and time spent on them.
- The referring website, when one is supplied.
- The date and time of each request.
Cookie Use
Cookies help measure how visitors use the site and support certain features. Browser controls can block or delete cookies. Some functions may work differently when cookies are disabled.
Purposes for Using Data
Information described in this notice may be used to:
- Operate the site and maintain reasonable performance.
- Send a search request to the selected partner service.
- Understand which pages and features visitors find useful.
- Diagnose errors, abuse, and other technical problems.
- Display advertising that may reflect a visitor's interests.
Links and Outside Services
The site links to sheriff and corrections pages, government portals, jail or arrest sources, and third-party search tools. Once a visitor follows an outside link, that operator's privacy notice and practices apply. We do not control those systems.
Advertising partners may measure activity across different websites to select targeted ads. That tracking occurs through the partner's systems rather than ours.
Parties That May Receive Data
We do not sell personal information. Data may still be transmitted or disclosed to:
- Search partners that process a submitted query.
- Analytics providers that measure site activity.
- Advertising networks that deliver or measure ads.
- Law enforcement or another government authority acting under a valid legal order.
Safeguards and Their Limits
We use standard, reasonable practices to protect information in our control. No internet-connected service can be guaranteed fully secure, however. We cannot promise that a breach, loss, or unauthorized access will never occur.
Visitors Younger Than Eighteen
This site is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under eighteen. If a minor has submitted personal data, a parent or guardian may contact us and request its deletion.
Your Information Choices
Rights differ by location and the law that applies. Subject to those limits, a person may ask to:
- Receive a copy of personal data we hold.
- Correct information that is inaccurate.
- Delete eligible personal information.
- Opt out of certain forms of processing.
These choices concern information controlled by this private site. Requests for Missouri government records or corrections remain governed by the originating agency and applicable law, including Missouri's Sunshine Law where relevant.
Changes to This Notice
We may revise this privacy notice as our practices or legal duties change. A revised version will appear on this page with a new effective date.
