Privacy Notice

This notice explains what information may be collected when you use Franklin County Recent Arrests, why it is used, and when it may be shared. By using the site, you accept these practices.

Information You Submit

Search terms

A name or location entered in a search tool is sent to the independent provider that operates the tool. This site does not store or log those terms on its own systems.

Messages

Emails or contact submissions may be retained long enough to answer. They are not shared outside the organization unless disclosure is legally required.


Technical Data Collected Automatically

Ordinary page requests may provide technical and usage details:

  • IP address and timestamps
  • Browser name and version
  • Device type and operating system
  • Pages visited and time spent
  • The referring site, when supplied

Cookies

Cookies may help measure site use. Browser controls can block them, although some functions may then work differently.

  • Deliver and improve pages
  • Route searches to the selected provider

Links and Advertising Systems
