Information You Submit
Terms Entered in Search
A name, place, or other term entered in a search box is sent to the third-party provider that operates that tool. This site does not keep or log those search terms on its own systems. The provider's privacy rules apply to the data it receives.
Messages Sent to Us
When you send an email or contact-form message, we retain what you provide so we can review and answer it. We do not share those messages outside our organization unless a valid legal duty requires disclosure.
Information Collected Automatically
Routine technical records may be created when a page loads. They can include:
- Your internet protocol address.
- Your browser name and version.
- Your device class and operating system.
- The pages opened and time spent on them.
- The referring website, when one is provided.
- The date and time of each request.
Cookies and Browser Controls
Cookies help measure how visitors use the site. You can block or remove them through browser settings, although some features may then work differently.
Reasons We Use Data
- Operate the website and maintain reasonable speed.
- Send search requests to the selected partner tool.
- Understand which pages readers use most.
- Detect faults and repair technical problems.

Privacy on Linked Websites
Links may lead to Appanoose County offices, the jail, sheriff and corrections pages, court portals, custody tools, or outside search services. After you leave this site, the destination's privacy policy governs its collection and use of data.
Advertising partners may use their own systems to follow activity across websites and select targeted ads. That tracking occurs on partner systems, not ours.
Parties That May Receive Data
We do not sell personal information. Limited data may be handled by:
- Search partners that process a submitted query.
- Analytics providers that measure site use.
- Advertising networks that deliver or measure ads.
- Law enforcement or another government body acting under a valid legal order.
Steps Used to Protect Data
We use customary safeguards suited to the information and services involved. No website, network, storage service, or internet transmission can be guaranteed fully secure, so we cannot promise that a breach will never occur.
Visitors Under Eighteen
This site is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under 18. A parent or guardian who believes a minor submitted information may use the Get in Touch page to request deletion.
Your Information Choices
- Ask for a copy of personal data we hold about you.
- Request correction of information that is wrong.
- Ask that eligible personal data be erased.
- Opt out of certain processing when that right applies.

We may revise this privacy notice as practices or legal duties change. The updated text and a new effective date will be posted on this page.
