Information You Submit
Search Queries
Names, locations, or other terms typed into a search box may be sent to the third-party provider that powers that tool. This site does not keep its own separate log of those search terms.
Messages
If a visitor sends an email or contact message, the message and reply address may be kept long enough to respond, manage the request, and keep ordinary business records. Those messages are not shared outside the organization unless the law requires it.
Automatic Technical Data
Like most websites, this site may receive technical details when a page loads.
- IP address.
- Browser type and version.
- Device type and operating system.
- Pages viewed and time spent on pages.
- Referring website, when available.
- Date and time stamps.
Cookies
Cookies and similar tools may be used to understand how visitors use pages, keep the site working, support ads, and measure performance. Browser settings can block or delete cookies, though some features may work differently.
How Data Is Used
Collected information is used for ordinary site operations and improvement.
- Keep pages available, secure, and fast.
- Route search requests to the correct partner tool.
- Learn which pages are useful to readers.
- Find and fix technical errors.
- Display advertising that may be based on broad interests.
Other Websites
Pages link to sheriff rosters, Indiana MyCase, IDOC, BOP, ICE, VINELink, county offices, and third-party search tools. Once a visitor leaves this site, the destination site's privacy policy and terms control that visit.
Advertising partners may use their own systems to recognize activity across sites. That tracking occurs through their tools, not through an official Scott County system.
Who May Receive Data
Personal information is not sold as a standalone list. It may be handled by limited service providers or disclosed when legally required.
- Search partners that process submitted queries.
- Analytics providers.
- Advertising networks.
- Government or law-enforcement bodies when a valid legal order requires disclosure.
Security
Reasonable security practices are used, but no internet-connected service can be promised as breach-proof. Visitors should avoid sending sensitive legal, financial, medical, or identifying details through ordinary contact messages.
Users Under 18
This site is intended for adults. It does not knowingly collect information from anyone under 18. A parent or guardian may request deletion if a minor submitted information.
Your Data Choices
Depending on the data involved and applicable law, visitors may ask to review information held by this site, correct inaccurate information, request deletion, or opt out of certain processing where available. Indiana's Access to Public Records Act, including IC 5-14-3, governs public agencies, not this private site.
Policy Updates
This notice may be revised when site practices, vendors, or legal requirements change. Updates will be posted on this page with the revised text.
