Information You Provide
A name or location entered in a search box passes to the third-party provider that operates that tool. We do not store or log those search terms on our systems. Messages sent by email or a contact form may be retained long enough to answer, and they are not shared beyond the organization unless law requires disclosure.

How Data Is Used
Collected data supports a limited set of operating needs.
- Run and improve the site
- Send a search request to the chosen partner
- Measure which pages are useful
- Detect and repair technical faults
- Present advertising that may reflect interests
Government and Outside Links
Links lead to South Carolina jail and sheriff pages, SCDC and SCDPPPS tools, courts, VINE, federal systems, county subdomains, and outside search providers. Each destination applies its own privacy terms. SC VINE permits confidential or anonymous registration, while South Carolina court indexes stopped displaying home addresses in new and existing cases on January 1, 2026. Those source rules do not transfer to this site. Advertising partners may measure activity across sites on their own systems.
Who May Receive Data
We do not sell personal information. Data may be handled by search partners that process a query, analytics services, advertising networks, and law-enforcement or government bodies acting under a valid legal order.
Security Practices
Reasonable safeguards are used to protect information. No internet-connected service is completely secure, however, and we cannot promise that a breach or unauthorized access will never occur.
Visitors Under Eighteen
This site is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect information from anyone under 18. A parent or guardian may request deletion if a minor submitted data.
Your Data Choices
Subject to applicable law and verified identity, a user may ask for a copy of personal data held by the site, correction of an error, deletion, or an opt-out from certain processing. Rights can vary by location and may be limited by legal retention duties.
Changes to This Notice
This policy may be revised as site practices or legal duties change. A new version becomes effective when posted here with its updated effective date.
