Data You Give Us Directly
Search Queries
Names or locations entered in a search tool are transmitted to the outside provider operating that tool so it can process the request and display results. We do not retain or record those search terms on our systems.
Messages and Contact Submissions
When you email us, we retain the message as needed to answer it. It is kept within our organization unless disclosure is required by a valid legal obligation.
Data We Gather Automatically
Our servers may receive routine technical information as pages are requested, including:
- Page-view dates and times
- Browser name and version
- Referring website, when available
- Device category and operating system
- Internet Protocol address
- Pages viewed and time spent on them
Cookies and Analytics
Cookies are small device files that help measure how visitors move through the website, including popular pages and exit points. Analytics providers combine traffic information for reporting. Browser controls can reject cookies, although disabling them may change how some features operate.
What We Do With This Data
- Diagnose errors and other technical problems
- Route a search request to the appropriate outside service
- Understand which material visitors use
- Operate, secure, and improve page performance
- Present advertising that may reflect visitor interests
No Criminal-Record Data on File
We do not maintain, assemble, or sell a database of personal criminal records. The website provides general directions to Siskiyou County record custodians, including the Sheriff's Office, Superior Court of California, California Department of Justice, and California Megan's Law Website. California Penal Code section 11105 restricts dissemination of state summary criminal history, while Penal Code sections 11120 through 11127 provide subject review and challenge procedures. Visitor data is not compiled into third-party dossiers or consumer reports, and we are not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act.
Third-Party Search Partners
Outside companies operate the search boxes shown on the website. Their own privacy terms control information submitted through those tools, including retention and disclosure decisions beyond our control. Review the applicable provider policy before entering a query.
Links to Other Websites
Links may lead to California agencies, Siskiyou County offices, court portals, legal resources, and outside search services. Once you follow an external link, that destination's privacy practices apply, so review them before providing personal details.
Advertising providers may use their own technology to recognize activity across websites and select targeted advertising. That processing occurs within their systems.
Who Might See Your Data
We do not sell personal information. Limited data may be available to:
- Government or law-enforcement bodies responding to a valid legal demand
- Advertising networks placing advertisements
- Search providers processing a submitted query
- Analytics vendors measuring traffic and performance
How We Protect Your Data
Reasonable, commonly used safeguards are applied to information under our control. No internet-connected system can be guaranteed completely secure, however, so we cannot promise that unauthorized access will never occur.
Users Under 18
The website is intended for adults, and we do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone younger than 18. If we learn that a minor supplied personal information, we will remove it promptly.
Your Data Rights
Applicable California privacy or consumer-protection law may provide additional rights based on residence and circumstances. The California Public Records Act, including Government Code sections 7920.530 and 7922.000 et seq., governs access to records held by public agencies; it does not turn this privately operated website into a government records custodian. Subject to applicable law, you may:
- Object to or opt out of certain processing
- Request correction of inaccurate information
- Ask for deletion of information we hold
- Request access to information associated with you
Updates to This Policy
This policy may be revised as practices or legal requirements change. A revised version will appear here with an updated effective date.
