Information You Submit
Search Terms
When a visitor enters a name, place, or other lookup term into a sponsored search tool, that query is sent to the third-party provider operating the tool. This site does not keep its own log of those search terms.
Messages
If you email us or send a message through a contact path, we use the message and any contact details to read, route, and respond. We do not share those messages outside our organization unless a valid legal requirement calls for it.
Automatic Technical Data
Like most websites, this site may receive routine technical details when a page loads.
- IP address.
- Browser name and version.
- Device type and operating system.
- Pages viewed and approximate time on page.
- Referring website, when one is available.
- Date and time stamps.
Cookies
Cookies and similar tools may help measure how people use the site and keep advertising or analytics services working. Browser settings can block or delete cookies, although some features may behave differently after that.
How Information Is Used
- To keep the site available, readable, and responsive.
- To route search requests to partner search services.
- To understand which pages help visitors and which need improvement.
- To diagnose errors, abuse, and technical problems.
- To display advertising that may be interest based.
Other Websites and Tools
This site links to sheriff pages, court pages, CDCR, VINE, BOP, ICE, government portals, legal resources, and third-party search tools. Once you leave this site or use a partner search product, that outside site's privacy policy and terms control its handling of information.
Advertising partners may use their own systems to recognize activity across websites and deliver interest-based ads. That tracking happens through their services, not through an official San Francisco County record system.
Who May Receive Information
We do not sell personal information as a standalone list. Information may be available to these categories when needed for site operation or legal compliance.
- Search partners that operate sponsored lookup tools.
- Analytics providers that measure traffic and page performance.
- Advertising networks that serve or measure ads.
- Law enforcement, courts, or government bodies when a valid legal order requires disclosure.
Security
We use reasonable security practices for a public website, but no internet-connected system can be promised breach-proof. Visitors should avoid submitting sensitive facts that are not needed for a message or search.
Visitors Under 18
This site is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 18. If a minor submitted information, contact us so we can review and remove it where appropriate.
Your Choices and Rights
- Ask what personal information we hold about you, if any.
- Request correction of inaccurate information you provided to us.
- Request deletion of information we are not required to keep.
- Opt out of certain processing where applicable law gives that right.
Notice Updates
This Privacy Notice may change as the site, search partners, analytics tools, or legal requirements change. Updates will be posted on this page with the current text replacing the prior version.
