Information You Choose to Submit
Terms Entered in Search
When you type a name, place, or other term into a search tool, that query is transmitted to the third-party provider that operates the search. Pettis County Recent Arrests does not store or log those search terms on its own systems. The provider’s privacy terms control its receipt and handling of the query.
Emails and Site Messages
If you email us or send a contact-form message, we retain the message and the information you supplied so we can review and answer it. We do not share a contact message outside the organization unless disclosure is required by law. Avoid sending sensitive personal data that is not needed for the question.
Technical Data Collected During Visits
Routine web systems can record technical details when a page loads. These records help deliver the page, measure traffic, and diagnose errors. The automatically collected details may include:
- Your Internet Protocol address
- The browser name and version in use
- Your device category and operating system
- Pages opened and the time spent on them
- The referring website, when one is reported
- Date and time stamps tied to requests
Cookie Use
Cookies help show how visitors move through the site and which material is useful. You can limit or block cookies through your browser settings. Some site functions, including features supplied by outside services, may work differently or fail to retain preferences when cookies are disabled.
Reasons We Process Information
- Operate the website and maintain reasonable performance
- Send search requests to the appropriate search partner
- Understand which Pettis County record pages visitors find useful
- Detect errors, abuse, and technical failures
- Display advertising that may reflect general interests
Privacy Beyond Our Website
Links may lead to the Pettis County Sheriff and Jail, Missouri Case.net, the Missouri Department of Corrections, federal or immigration systems, custody tools, booking sources, and third-party search services. Once you leave this site, the destination’s privacy notice and data practices apply. Missouri agencies control access to their records under applicable law, including the Missouri Sunshine Law and its RSMo 610.023 custodian provisions, rather than this Privacy Notice.
Some advertising partners may use their own cookies or similar technology to understand activity across websites and select interest-based ads. That processing occurs on the partner’s systems. Review the partner’s controls if you want to adjust its tracking or advertising choices.
Parties That May Receive Data
We do not sell personal information. Limited data may be disclosed or transmitted to the following categories of recipients when needed for the purposes described here:
- Search partners that process queries submitted through their tools
- Analytics providers that measure site traffic and performance
- Advertising networks that deliver or measure advertisements
- Law-enforcement agencies or government bodies acting under a valid, lawful order
Security Has Practical Limits
We use standard, reasonable practices intended to protect information from unauthorized access, loss, or misuse. No website, network, storage service, or internet transmission can be guaranteed completely secure. We therefore cannot promise that information will never be intercepted, exposed, or affected by a security incident.
Use Is Limited to Adults
This site is intended for adults and is not directed to anyone under 18. We do not knowingly collect personal information from minors. If a parent or guardian believes that a minor submitted information, contact us so the material can be reviewed and deleted where appropriate.
Choices About Your Information
Depending on the law that applies to you and the type of information involved, you may ask us to take one or more of these actions:
- Provide a copy of personal data we hold about you
- Correct personal information that is inaccurate
- Delete eligible information in our possession
- Stop or opt out of certain forms of processing
These choices concern data controlled by Pettis County Recent Arrests. A request about an official arrest report, jail record, court entry, or Missouri correctional record must be made to the government agency that maintains it.
Changes to This Notice
We may revise this Privacy Notice as site practices, providers, or legal duties change. The updated wording will be posted on this page with a new effective date. Continued use after a revision means the current notice applies to later activity.
