Terms Entered in Search
A name or location entered in a search box is sent to the third-party provider operating that tool. We do not store or log those search terms on our systems.

Technical Data Collected Automatically
Routine server and analytics records can collect the following details when a page loads:
- Internet Protocol address
- Browser name and version
- Device category and operating system
- Pages viewed and time spent on them
- The referring website, when available
- Date and time stamps
Cookie Use
Cookies help measure how visitors use the site. A browser can block or remove them, although some features may respond differently when cookies are disabled.
Purposes for Using Data
- Operate the site and maintain reasonable performance.
- Send a search request to the selected partner service.
- Measure which Dallam record pages visitors find useful.
- Identify errors and repair technical problems.
- Present advertising that may reflect a visitor’s interests.
Privacy Beyond Our Pages
Links lead to sheriff and corrections pages, release-record portals, government services, and outside search tools. After a visitor follows a link, the destination’s privacy terms govern its collection and use.
Some advertising companies may track activity across websites to select targeted ads. That processing occurs on their systems rather than ours.
Parties That May Receive Data
We do not sell personal information. Data may reach only the service categories described below:
- Search partners that process submitted queries
- Analytics providers that measure site use
- Advertising networks that deliver ads
- Law enforcement or another government body acting under a valid legal order
Reasonable Security Measures
We use standard safeguards suited to an online reference service. No internet-connected system can be guaranteed secure, so we cannot promise that a breach will never occur.
Adults Only
This service is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 18. A parent or guardian who believes a minor submitted data may use the Contact Us page to request deletion.
Available Privacy Requests
Depending on applicable law and the data held, a visitor may ask us to:
- Provide a copy of personal information we retain.
- Correct information that is wrong.
- Erase personal data where the request applies.
- Stop certain forms of processing.
Changes to This Notice
We may revise this privacy notice as practices or legal duties change. A revised version will appear here with a new effective date.
