Data You Give Us Directly
Search Queries
A name or location entered in a search tool is sent directly to the outside provider that operates that tool. The provider processes the query and supplies its results. We do not keep or log those search terms on our systems.
Messages and Contact Submissions
We retain an email message when needed to answer it. It remains within our organization unless disclosure is required by a valid legal obligation.
Data We Gather Automatically
When a page loads, the servers may automatically receive basic technical details about the visit:
- Page-view dates and times
- Your device's Internet Protocol address
- The referring site, when one is supplied
- Browser name and version
- Device type and operating system
- Pages viewed and the time spent on them
Cookies and Analytics
Cookies are small files placed on a device. They and analytics services help summarize traffic, including popular pages and where visits end. Browser controls can block cookies, though disabling them may change how some features behave.
What We Do With This Data
- Routing a search request to the selected partner service
- Maintaining reliable and responsive site operation
- Diagnosing and correcting technical problems
- Understanding which resources visitors use
- Displaying advertising that may reflect visitor interests
No Criminal-Record Data on File
We do not maintain, assemble, or sell a database of personal criminal-record information. The published material identifies how to seek Wayne County records from the sheriff, Circuit Clerk, Missouri State Highway Patrol Criminal Justice Information Services Division, and Missouri Sex Offender Registry. We are not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, and visitor data is not compiled into consumer reports or third-party criminal histories.
Third-Party Search Partners
Outside companies operate the search boxes. Their privacy policies, retention periods, and disclosure practices govern data entered there. We do not control those terms, so review the provider's policy before submitting a query.
Links to Other Websites
Links may lead to courts, law-enforcement offices, state agencies, legal resources, or outside search services. Once you leave this website, the destination's privacy terms apply. Review them before providing personal information.
Some advertising providers may use their own systems to track activity across websites for targeted advertising.
Who Might See Your Data
We do not sell personal data. Limited information may be available to:
- Analytics providers that measure site traffic and performance
- Search providers that process a query submitted through their tool
- Advertising networks that serve material on the website
- Government or law-enforcement bodies acting under a valid legal demand
How We Protect Your Data
Reasonable security practices are used to protect collected data. No internet service is completely secure, however, and we cannot guarantee that unauthorized access will never occur.
Users Under 18
The website is intended for adults, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If we learn that a minor supplied such data, we will delete it.
Your Data Rights
Rights can vary by residence. In Missouri, the Merchandising Practices Act, including section 407.020, RSMo, addresses deceptive or unfair practices, while the Missouri Sunshine Law governs access to records held by public bodies rather than data held by this private website. Subject to applicable law, you may:
- Request correction of inaccurate personal information
- Ask what personal information we retain about you
- Seek deletion where applicable law allows it
- Opt out of processing where an applicable rule provides that choice
Updates to This Policy
This policy may be revised. A changed version will appear here with an updated effective date, so review it periodically for the current practices.
Effective date: July 30, 2026
