Information You Submit
Terms Entered in Search
A name, place, or other term entered in a search box is sent to the outside provider operating that tool. We do not store or log those search terms on our own system. The provider’s policy governs its handling of the query.
Messages Sent to Us
If you email us or submit a contact message, we retain the content and contact details needed to respond. We do not share that correspondence outside our organization unless a valid legal requirement compels disclosure.
Technical Data Collected Automatically
Standard server, analytics, and advertising systems can receive these details when a page loads:
- The visitor’s IP address
- Browser name and version
- Device class and operating system
- Pages viewed and time spent on them
- The referring site, when available
- Date and time stamps
Cookie Controls
Cookies help measure how visitors move through the site and may support advertising functions. Most browsers allow cookies to be blocked or removed. Some features may work differently when cookies are disabled.
Reasons We Use Data
- Operate the site and maintain performance
- Send a requested search to the selected partner
- Understand which reference pages visitors find useful
- Detect and correct technical failures
- Display advertising that may reflect visitor interests
Privacy Beyond This Site
Links lead to Butler County records, Sheriff and corrections pages, government portals, and outside search services. Once a visitor follows a link, the destination’s privacy rules apply.
Some advertising partners may use their own technology to recognize activity across different sites and tailor ads. That processing occurs through their systems, not ours.
Parties That May Receive Data
We do not sell personal information. Limited data may reach:
- Search partners processing a submitted query
- Analytics providers measuring site use
- Advertising networks delivering ads
- Law-enforcement or government bodies acting under a valid legal order
Our Security Approach
We use reasonable, commonly accepted practices to protect information under our control. No internet-connected service is fully secure, however, and we cannot promise that a breach or unauthorized access will never occur.
Visitors Under Eighteen
This site is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. A parent or guardian who believes a minor submitted information may contact us and request deletion.
Your Privacy Choices
- Ask for a copy of personal data we hold
- Request correction of inaccurate information
- Ask us to erase qualifying data
- Opt out of certain processing where that right applies
Changes to This Notice
We may revise this privacy notice as practices or requirements change. An updated version will appear on this page with a new effective date.
