Information You Submit
A name, location, or other term entered into a search tool is transmitted to the third-party provider that operates that tool. This site does not keep or log those search terms on its own system. The provider’s privacy terms apply to its handling of the query.
If you send an email or contact message, we retain the message and reply details as needed to answer it. We do not share that correspondence outside the organization unless service delivery or law requires it.
Automatic Technical Details
Standard web systems may collect limited information when a page loads. That can include:
- Internet Protocol address;
- browser type and version;
- device class and operating system;
- pages viewed and time spent;
- the referring page, when supplied; and
- date and time stamps.
Cookies and similar tools help measure how visitors use the site. Browser controls can block or remove cookies, although some functions may then work differently.
How Information Is Used
Collected information supports a small set of operational purposes:
- keeping pages available and responsive;
- sending a query to the chosen search partner;
- understanding which resources readers use;
- finding and correcting technical faults; and
- displaying advertising that may reflect interests.
Websites Beyond Our Control
Links lead to Pennington County release records, Sheriff and corrections pages, government portals, and third-party search services. Once a visitor follows one, the destination’s own privacy notice controls. Advertising partners may measure activity across sites for interest-based ads on their systems, not on a government record system controlled here.
Parties That May Receive Data
We do not sell personal information. Limited data may be handled by search partners processing a query, analytics services measuring site use, advertising networks delivering ads, and law-enforcement or government bodies acting under a valid legal demand.
Reasonable Security Measures
Standard administrative and technical safeguards are used to protect information under this site’s control. No internet-connected service can promise perfect security, so transmission and storage cannot be described as breach-proof.
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 use the Contacts page to request deletion.
Your Privacy Choices
Subject to applicable law and the ability to verify a request, a user may ask for a copy of information held about them, correction of inaccurate information, deletion, or an opt-out from certain processing. These choices apply to data controlled by this site. Government agencies and outside search providers maintain their own records and procedures.
Notice Revisions
This privacy notice may change as services or legal requirements change. A revised version takes effect when posted here with its updated effective information.
