Privacy Notice

This notice explains how this site handles information connected with Montrose County release-record searches, contact messages, technical logs, cookies, outside links, analytics, and advertising. By using the site, you accept the practices described here.

Data You Provide

Search Queries

Names, locations, or other terms entered into a search tool may be sent to the third-party provider that operates that tool. This site does not keep its own database of those search terms.

Messages

If you send a message or email, the information in that message may be kept long enough to read it, respond, and handle related follow-up. It is not shared outside the organization unless a valid legal requirement applies.


Automatic Data

Like most websites, this site may receive technical data when a page loads.

  • IP address.
  • Browser type and version.
  • Device type and operating system.
  • Pages viewed and time spent on them.
  • Referring site, when available.
  • Date and time stamps.

Cookies

Cookies and similar tools may be used to understand site use, support ads, and keep pages working. Browser settings can block cookies, although some features may work differently when cookies are disabled.


How Data Is Used

Collected data is used for ordinary site operations and visitor support.

  • Keeping pages available, fast, and readable.
  • Routing search requests to the correct partner service.
  • Learning which pages answer visitor needs.
  • Finding and fixing technical issues.
  • Showing ads that may reflect general interests.

Outside Sites

Pages link to sheriff, court, corrections, VINE, federal, ICE, and third-party search resources. Once you leave this site, the privacy policy of the destination site controls what happens there.

Advertising partners may use their own systems to measure or personalize ads across websites. Those systems are not controlled by this site.


Who May Receive Data

Personal data is not sold as a customer list. It may be handled by the limited parties needed to run the site or comply with law.

  • Search partners that process search-box queries.
  • Analytics providers.
  • Advertising networks.
  • Government or law-enforcement bodies when a valid legal order requires disclosure.

Security

Reasonable safeguards are used to protect information, but no internet-connected service can be promised as breach-proof or error-free.


Users Under 18

This site is meant for adults. It does not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under 18. If a minor submitted data, contact the site so it can be reviewed for deletion.

You may ask to review, correct, delete, or limit certain information this site holds about you, subject to legal and operational limits.

  • Request a copy of information held by the site.
  • Ask for incorrect information to be corrected.
  • Ask for deletion where available.
  • Opt out of some forms of processing when the law allows.
