Privacy Notice

This notice explains what information may be collected when someone uses this Sacramento County records guide, how it is used, and when it may be shared. Using the site means accepting the practices described below.

Information You Submit

Terms Entered in Search Tools

A name, location, or other query entered in a search box is sent to the third-party company that operates that tool. We do not store or log those search terms on our own systems. The provider’s privacy terms govern its processing.

Messages Sent to Us

We retain an email or contact submission as needed to read it and reply. We do not share those messages outside our organization unless disclosure is required by law.


Technical Data Collected Automatically

Ordinary server, analytics, and advertising systems may receive technical details when a page loads, including:

  • Internet Protocol address
  • Browser name and version
  • Device type and operating system
  • Pages viewed and time spent on them
  • The referring website, when available
  • Date and time stamps

Cookies

Cookies help measure how visitors use the site and may support site functions or advertising. Browser controls can block or remove cookies, although some features may then work differently.


How Information Is Used

  • Operate the site and maintain reasonable performance
  • Send search requests to the selected partner service
  • Understand which Sacramento County pages visitors find useful
  • Detect faults and correct technical problems
  • Display advertising that may reflect visitor interests

Links and Outside Services

Links may lead to Sacramento County jail rosters, booking searches, Sheriff or corrections pages, government portals, and private search services. Once a visitor leaves this site, the destination’s own privacy policy controls its practices.

Advertising companies may measure activity across multiple websites to select ads. That processing occurs through their systems, not as a Sacramento County public-record function.


Parties That May Receive Data

We do not sell personal information. Data may still be handled by:

  • Search partners that process submitted queries
  • Services that measure traffic and site use
  • Advertising networks serving or measuring ads
  • Law-enforcement agencies or government bodies acting under a valid legal order

Reasonable Security Measures

We use ordinary administrative and technical safeguards suited to a public website. No internet-connected service is completely secure, so we cannot promise that a breach or unauthorized access will never occur.


Visitors Under 18

This site is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. A parent or guardian who believes a minor submitted information may use the Contact Us page to request deletion.


Your Privacy Choices

Subject to applicable law, a person may ask to:

  • Receive a copy of personal data we hold
  • Correct inaccurate personal information
  • Delete eligible personal information
  • Opt out of certain processing where that right applies

California residents may also have rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act, as amended. A request may require reasonable identity verification.


Changes to This Notice

We may revise this notice as site practices or legal requirements change. An updated version takes effect when it is posted here with its new effective date.
