Information You Submit
Search entries
A name or location entered into a search box is sent to the outside provider that operates the tool. We do not store or log those search terms on this site's systems. The provider's own privacy rules apply to the query.
Messages
If you send an email or contact message, we retain the information needed to respond. A message is not shared outside the organization unless disclosure is required by law.
Technical Data Collected Automatically
Routine server, analytics, and advertising systems may record basic data when a page loads.
- Your internet protocol address

- Date and time stamps
Cookies
Cookies help measure site use and support certain functions. You can block or delete cookies through browser settings, though parts of the site may work differently afterward.
How Information Is Used
Collected information supports the site's normal operation.
- Maintain performance and availability

- Learn which pages visitors find useful
- Detect and correct technical faults
- Display advertising that may reflect visitor interests
Websites Beyond Our Control
Links may lead to Brown County sheriff and jail pages, Indiana MyCase, IDOC, federal locators, news outlets, or commercial search providers. Once you leave this site, the destination's privacy notice governs its collection and use of data.
Advertising partners may use their own systems to follow activity across multiple websites for interest-based advertising. That tracking takes place through the partner, not through records stored by this site.
When Data May Be Shared
We do not sell personal information. Data may be disclosed only to service providers that need it for their assigned role or when a valid legal demand requires disclosure.
- Search partners that process submitted queries
- Analytics providers
- Advertising networks
- Law enforcement or government bodies acting under a valid legal order
Reasonable Security Measures
Standard safeguards are used to protect information. No website, network, or storage system connected to the internet can be guaranteed free from every breach or unauthorized access.
Visitors Under Eighteen
This site is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under 18. A parent or guardian who believes a minor submitted information may use the Contact Us page to request deletion.
Your Privacy Choices
Subject to applicable law and verification, you may ask us to:
- Provide a copy of personal data we hold
- Correct inaccurate personal information
- Delete eligible personal information
- Stop or limit certain processing
These rights concern data held by this private site. Requests for Brown County or Indiana government records are governed separately by Indiana law, including the Access to Public Records Act, IC 5-14-3.
Changes to This Notice
We may revise this notice as practices or legal duties change. A revised version becomes effective when it is posted here with an updated effective date.
