How Data Is Used
Collected data is used to operate the site, route search requests to partner tools, understand which pages are useful, find technical problems, protect the service, and show advertising that may be more relevant to a visitor's interests.
External Websites
Links may lead to the Monterey County Sheriff's Office, Monterey County Superior Court, CDCR, VINE, BOP, ICE, statutes, app stores, and third-party search providers. After a visitor leaves this site, the destination site's own privacy practices control. Advertising partners may also collect data on their own systems.
Who May Receive Data
Personal data is not sold as a standalone list. It may be processed by search partners handling queries, analytics vendors, ad networks, hosting and security providers, or law-enforcement and government bodies when a valid legal order requires disclosure.
Security
Reasonable security practices are used, but no website, network, or internet-connected service can be promised to be breach-proof.
Users Under 18
This site is intended for adults. It does not knowingly collect information from anyone under 18. If a minor has submitted information, contact can be made to request deletion.
Your Privacy Rights
Depending on the law that applies to a visitor, requests may be made to access information held by the site, correct inaccurate information, request deletion, or opt out of certain processing. California privacy and public-record laws may also affect rights and government records held by agencies, but this site does not control agency records.
Policy Updates
This notice may be changed when site practices, partners, or legal requirements change. The updated version will be posted on this page.
