Information You Submit
Terms Entered in Search Tools
A name, location, or other query entered in a search box is transmitted to the outside provider that powers that tool. We do not store or log those search terms on our own systems. The provider’s policy governs its handling of the query.
Messages Sent to Us
If you email us or use a contact form, we retain the message and contact details needed to answer. We do not share that correspondence outside the organization unless disclosure is required by law.
Technical Data Collected Automatically
Ordinary server and analytics records may capture technical details when a page loads:
- Internet Protocol address
- Browser name and version
- Device type and operating system
- Pages visited and time spent on them
- The referring website, when available
- Date and time stamps
Cookies and Similar Storage
Cookies help measure how visitors use the pages and support site functions. You may block them in browser settings, although some features can behave differently or stop working.
Reasons We Use Information
- Operate the site and maintain reasonable performance
- Send a search request to the selected partner
- Understand which Linn County pages visitors find useful
- Detect and repair technical problems
- Display advertising that may reflect visitor interests
Privacy on Linked Websites
Links may lead to Linn County jail records, booking feeds, sheriff or corrections pages, government portals, and private search services. Once you leave this site, the destination’s privacy terms apply.
Some advertising partners may use their own technology to follow activity across websites and select ads. That processing occurs on their systems, not ours.
Parties That May Receive Data
We do not sell personal data. Limited information may be received by:
- Search partners that process submitted queries
- Analytics providers that measure site use
- Advertising networks that deliver ads
- Law-enforcement or government authorities acting under a valid legal order
Security Has Practical Limits
We use standard, reasonable measures intended to safeguard information. No website, network, transmission method, or storage system can be promised as completely secure, so we cannot guarantee protection against every breach.
Visitors Younger Than Eighteen
This site is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. A parent or guardian who believes a minor submitted information may contact us and request deletion.
Your Information Choices
Subject to applicable law and verification, you may:
- Ask for a copy of personal information we hold about you
- Request correction of inaccurate information
- Ask that eligible information be erased
- Opt out of processing where that right applies
Changes to This Notice
We may revise this privacy notice as practices or requirements change. An updated version takes effect when posted here with its new effective date.
