Information You Choose to Provide
Search queries
A name, place, or other term entered into a search box is transmitted to the third-party provider that operates the tool. We do not store or log those search terms on our own systems. The provider's policy governs its collection and use.
Messages
If you send a contact message or email, we may keep the address, message, and related correspondence for as long as needed to respond and manage the request. We do not disclose a message outside the organization unless needed to provide the service or required by law.

Policies on Other Websites
Links can lead to the Trumbull County Sheriff, courts, ODRC, federal locators, release records, and independent search tools. Once a visitor follows a link, the destination's terms and privacy policy apply. We do not control how that operator collects, retains, or shares data.
Advertising partners may use cookies or similar technology to measure activity across sites and select ads. That processing occurs through their systems and is governed by their notices.
Who May Receive Data
We do not sell personal information. Limited information may be provided to parties that perform a defined function or when a valid legal duty applies.
- Search partners that process a visitor's query
- Analytics and hosting providers
- Advertising networks
- Service providers supporting site operation or communications
- Law enforcement or another government body acting under a valid subpoena, court order, warrant, or other lawful demand
Providers receive only the information reasonably needed for their role, subject to their own practices and applicable law.
Security Is Best Effort
We use reasonable administrative and technical safeguards suited to a public website. No internet transmission, storage system, or security method is guaranteed. We cannot promise that unauthorized access, loss, or a breach will never occur.
Not Intended for Minors
The site is intended for adults and is not directed to anyone under 18. We do not knowingly collect information from a minor. A parent or guardian who believes a minor submitted information may use the Contacts page to request review and deletion.
Your Privacy Choices
Depending on the law that applies and the information held, a person may ask to:
- Know whether personal information is held
- Receive a copy of eligible information
- Correct inaccurate information
- Delete information where a legal exception does not apply
- Opt out of certain processing where that right is available
Browser controls can also manage cookies. Requests may require enough information to verify identity and locate the relevant data.
Updates to This Notice
We may revise this notice as site practices or legal duties change. A new version becomes effective when posted here. The current posting should be reviewed before relying on an older copy.
