Information You Provide
Search Terms
When you type a name, location, or similar search into a partner search tool, that query is sent to the third-party provider that powers the tool. This site does not store or log those search terms on its own servers.
Messages
If you send an email or contact message, the information in that message may be kept long enough to read it, respond, and maintain ordinary business records. It is not shared outside the organization unless a legal obligation requires disclosure.

- Device type and operating system.
- Pages viewed and time spent on those pages.
- Referring website, when one is provided.
- Date and time stamps.

External Websites
This site links to sheriff pages, jail roster resources, Missouri corrections pages, court portals, federal locators, and third-party search tools. After you leave this site, the privacy policy of the destination website controls what happens there.
Advertising partners may use their own systems to recognize activity across websites and display targeted ads. That tracking occurs through the partner's technology, not through an official Webster County or Missouri government system.
