Information You Provide
Search Entries
When you type a name, location, or related search detail into a search tool, that query may be sent to the third-party provider that operates the tool. This site does not store those search terms in its own official records system.
Messages to the Site
If you email us or send a contact message, we use that information to read and answer the request. We do not share those messages outside the organization unless a valid legal requirement makes disclosure necessary.
Information Collected Automatically
Like most websites, this site may collect routine technical information when pages load.
- Internet Protocol address.
- Browser name, version, and related settings.
- Device type and operating system.
- Pages viewed and approximate time spent on them.
- Referring website or link, when available.
- Date and time of the visit.
Cookies
Cookies may be used to understand site usage, measure performance, and support advertising or partner features. You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings, although some tools or measurements may work differently if cookies are disabled.
How the Information Is Used
- To keep the site available, stable, and reasonably fast.
- To send search requests to the appropriate partner service when you choose to use a partner tool.
- To understand which San Diego County release-record pages are useful to visitors.
- To identify technical errors, broken links, and performance problems.
- To display advertising that may be based on general interests or browsing activity.
Links to Other Sites
This site links to jail records resources, Sheriff's Office pages, CDCR, San Diego County Probation, court portals, BOP, ICE, VINE, and third-party search tools. After you follow an outside link, that website's own privacy policy and data practices control what happens there.
Advertising partners may use their own systems to measure activity across websites or serve interest-based ads. That tracking is handled by those partners, not by an official San Diego County records office.
Who May Receive Information
We do not sell personal information. Information may still be processed or disclosed through the following categories when needed for the site to operate or when the law requires it.
- Search partners that process queries you submit through their tools.
- Analytics providers that help measure traffic and site performance.
- Advertising networks and related technology providers.
- Law-enforcement, court, or government entities when a valid legal order requires disclosure.
Protecting Information
We use reasonable security practices for a public website, but no internet-connected system can be guaranteed secure. This notice does not promise that any website, email message, search partner, or advertising system is breach-proof.
Users Under 18
This site is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If a minor has submitted information, contact us so the information can be reviewed for deletion.
Your Privacy Choices
- You may ask what personal information, if any, this site maintains about you.
- You may request correction of inaccurate information in records we control.
- You may request deletion of personal information where applicable law allows it.
- You may opt out of certain processing, including some advertising or cookie-based activity, through available browser or partner controls.
