Information You Provide
What You Type Into a Search
Several pages here offer a search box that helps you look up a name or location. That box is run by an outside search provider, not by this site. When you enter a name or place and submit it, those terms travel straight to that third-party provider so it can return results. The search words are not stored or logged on our end. How the provider treats what you type is set by its own privacy terms, so it is worth reading them before you rely on a paid lookup.
Messages You Send Us
If you email us or fill in a contact form, we keep what you send so we can read it and write back. That includes your message, your email address, and anything else you choose to include. We do not pass those messages to outside parties for marketing, and we do not sell them. The only time we would hand them over is when a valid legal order requires it.
Data Collected Automatically
Like nearly every website, this one records some technical details on its own each time a page loads. None of it is meant to identify you by name. It is the routine information a web server and its analytics tools log so the site keeps working and we can see how it is used. The items below are typical of what gets recorded.
- The Internet Protocol (IP) address your connection uses.
- The web browser you are on and its version number.
- Your device type and the operating system running it.
- Which pages you open and roughly how long you stay on each.
- The site or link that sent you here, when one exists.
- The date and time of each visit.
Cookies and Similar Tools
Small files called cookies sit in your browser and help us understand how visitors move through the site. You stay in control of them. Most browsers let you block or delete cookies in their settings, and you can do that at any time. Keep in mind that turning them off may change how some features behave or stop a few from working the way they should.
How the Data Gets Used
The information described above serves a handful of practical purposes. We use it to run the site and to make it better, not to build a profile of you. Here is what it goes toward.
- Keeping the site online, stable, and quick to load.
- Passing your search request to the correct partner service so it can answer.
- Seeing which pages people find useful and which fall flat.
- Spotting and repairing bugs or other technical trouble.
- Showing advertising that may line up with your interests.
Links That Leave This Site
To be genuinely useful, this site points outward a lot. We link to the Connecticut Department of Correction inmate search, the Milford Police records pages, the state court case lookup, other government portals, and third-party search tools. Once you click through, you are on someone else's site, and we do not control it. Their privacy terms take over from that point, so we cannot speak for how they collect or use data. Review each destination's own policy before you hand it information.
Some of our advertising partners may also follow activity across different websites to serve ads they think fit you. That tracking happens on their systems, under their rules, and not on this one. Your browser and ad settings often give you ways to limit it.
Who May Receive Your Information
We do not sell personal information. There are, however, a few parties that may handle it as part of running the site or meeting a legal duty. The list below covers them.
- The third-party search partners that process the queries you submit.
- Analytics providers that measure how the site is used.
- Advertising networks that deliver and measure ads.
- Law enforcement or other government bodies when a valid subpoena, court order, or similar legal demand requires it.
Keeping Information Safe
We take reasonable, commonly used steps to guard the data we hold from loss or misuse. Still, honesty matters here. No system that connects to the internet is ever perfectly secure, and no one can promise data will never be exposed. We cannot guarantee against every breach, and we do not claim to. We do commit to handling what we collect with care and to following sensible safeguards.
This Site Is for Adults
The custody, arrest, and court material referenced here is meant for an adult audience. The site is not directed at anyone under 18, and we do not knowingly gather data from minors. If you believe a child under 18 has sent us information, reach out and we will delete it from our records.
Choices Over Your Data
Depending on where you live, privacy law may give you rights over the personal data we hold. You can contact us to exercise any of the following.
- Ask for a copy of the personal data we keep about you.
- Have inaccurate or outdated details corrected.
- Request that your data be deleted.
- Opt out of certain kinds of processing, such as targeted advertising.
These choices apply only to data this site holds. They do not reach the public government records kept by the agencies that create them. Arrest, custody, and court records in Connecticut are open under the state Freedom of Information Act, chiefly CGS 1-210, and that law, not this notice, governs who may see or correct those official files. To change something in an actual record, you have to go to the agency that holds it.
Changes to This Notice
This notice may be revised from time to time as the site, our partners, or the law shift. When that happens, the updated version is posted on this page with a fresh effective date. Checking back now and then is the best way to stay current with how information is handled.
