Information You Provide Directly
Search Queries
When you type a name or a location into a search box on this site, that text goes straight to the third-party provider that runs the tool. The search runs on their system. We do not store, log, or keep a record of the terms you enter on our end.
Messages You Send Us
If you email us or send a message through a contact form, we keep what you wrote so we can reply. We do not share those messages with anyone outside our small operation unless a law or a valid legal order requires it.
Information Collected Automatically
Like most websites, this one records some technical details each time a page loads. None of it identifies you by name on its own.
- Your IP address
- The browser you use and its version
- Your device type and operating system
- The pages you open and how long you stay on each
- The site that referred you, if there was one
- The date and time of your visit
Cookies
Small files called cookies help us see how visitors move through the pages. You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings at any time. If you turn them off, the core pages still work, though a few features may behave differently.
How We Use This Information
The data above serves a handful of practical purposes.
- Keeping the site online, stable, and quick to load
- Passing your search request to the right partner service
- Learning which pages readers actually find useful
- Spotting and fixing technical problems and errors
- Showing advertising that may line up with your interests
Links to Other Websites
This site links out to many places: the Connecticut DOC inmate search, official corrections and Judicial Branch pages, other government portals, and third-party research tools. Once you click through, you are on their site, and their own privacy policy controls what happens to your information. We have no say over how those operators collect or use data.
Some advertising partners may also follow your activity across different websites to serve targeted ads. That tracking happens on their systems, not on ours.
Who May Receive Your Information
We do not sell your personal information. In the normal course of running the site, it may reach the following parties.
- The search partners that process the queries you submit
- Analytics services that measure how the site is used
- Advertising networks that deliver ads
- Law enforcement or other government bodies when a valid legal order or Connecticut law requires it
How Your Information Is Protected
We use reasonable, standard security measures to guard the information handled through this site. Even so, no system connected to the internet is ever fully secure. We cannot promise that data sent over the web is completely safe, and we cannot guarantee against every possible breach.
Visitors Under 18
This site is meant for adults. We do not knowingly gather information from anyone under the age of 18. If you believe a minor has sent us personal information, contact us and we will delete it.
Your Rights Over Your Data
Depending on where you live, you may have the following rights over the personal information we hold.
- Ask for a copy of the data we keep about you
- Ask us to correct information that is wrong
- Ask us to erase your information
- Opt out of certain kinds of processing
Keep in mind that much of the inmate and court data referenced on this site is public record under the Connecticut Freedom of Information Act, Conn. Gen. Stat. section 1-210. Those public records are held and controlled by the government agencies that create them, not by this site, so requests to change them must go to those agencies.
Changes to This Notice
We may revise this notice from time to time. When we do, the updated version is posted on this page with a new effective date. Continued use of the site after a change means you accept the revised notice.
