Information You Submit
A name, location, or other term entered in a search box is sent to the independent provider that operates the tool. Stoddard County Recent Arrests does not store or log those search terms on its own systems. The provider’s privacy terms control its handling of a query.
If you email us or use a contact form, we retain the message and supplied contact details as needed to respond. We do not share that correspondence outside our organization unless disclosure is required by law.
Automatic Technical Data
Routine logs and analytics may collect technical details when a page loads. These can include:
- Internet Protocol address;
- browser name and version;
- device type and operating system;
- pages viewed and time spent;
- the referring site, when available; and
- date and time stamps.
Cookies help measure how visitors use the site. Browser controls can block or remove cookies, though some features may then work differently.
How Information Is Used
Collected data supports the operation and improvement of the service. It may be used to:
- keep pages available and responsive;
- send search requests to the chosen partner;
- learn which Stoddard County resources help readers;
- detect and correct technical faults; and
- display advertising that may reflect a visitor’s interests.
Outside Websites and Advertising
Links may lead to sheriff, jail, court, corrections, government, news, or third-party search pages. Once a visitor leaves this site, the destination’s privacy policy governs. We do not control its collection or use of data.
Advertising companies may use their own systems to recognize activity across websites and select interest-based ads. That tracking takes place under those companies’ practices, not as a Stoddard County government function.
Who May Receive Data
We do not sell personal information. Limited data may be provided to:
- search partners that process a submitted query;
- analytics providers that measure site use;
- advertising networks that deliver ads; and
- law enforcement or another government body responding to a valid legal order.
Reasonable Security Measures
Standard administrative and technical safeguards are used to protect information. No website, network, or internet transmission can be guaranteed secure, so we cannot promise that a breach or unauthorized access will never occur.
Visitors Under Eighteen
This service is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under 18. A parent or guardian who believes a minor submitted information may contact us and request deletion.
Your Privacy Choices
Subject to applicable law and our ability to identify the data, a person may ask to:
- receive a copy of personal information we hold;
- correct inaccurate personal information;
- delete eligible personal information; or
- opt out of certain processing.
Requests can be sent through Contact Us. These rights concern information held by this private site, not arrest or court records maintained by Missouri agencies.
Policy Revisions
We may revise this policy as services and legal duties change. A replacement takes effect when posted here with its updated effective date.
