Information You Submit
A name, place, or other query entered in a search tool is sent to the third-party company operating that tool. Osage County Recent Arrests does not store or log those search terms on its own systems.
If you send an email or contact-form message, we retain the information needed to read and answer it. We do not share that correspondence outside the organization unless disclosure is required by law.
Technical Data Collected
Ordinary web services may record technical details when a page loads. Those details can include:
- Your IP 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 information.
Cookies help measure how visitors use the site. You may block cookies through your browser, though parts of the site may then work differently.
Purposes for Using Data
Collected information is used for limited operational purposes:
- Keeping the site available and responsive.
- Sending search requests to the selected partner.
- Understanding which pages help visitors.
- Diagnosing errors and technical faults.
- Displaying advertising that may reflect user interests.
Websites Beyond Our Control
Links may lead to the Osage County Sheriff’s Office, Missouri Department of Corrections, court and government portals, booking resources, or independent search services. Once you leave this site, the destination’s privacy terms govern its collection and use of information.
Advertising companies may measure activity across websites to select ads. That processing occurs through their systems and policies, not as an Osage County government function.
Parties That May Receive Data
We do not sell personal data. Information may still be handled by:
- Search partners that process a submitted query.
- Analytics providers that measure site use.
- Advertising networks that deliver or assess ads.
- Law enforcement or government bodies acting under a valid legal order.
Reasonable Security Measures
We use standard, good-faith safeguards suited to a public website. No internet service, storage system, or transmission method can be promised to be fully secure or immune from a breach.
Visitors Under Eighteen
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 Get in Touch page to request deletion.
Your Privacy Choices
Subject to applicable law and reasonable identity verification, you may:
- Ask for a copy of personal data we hold.
- Request correction of inaccurate data.
- Ask that personal data be erased.
- Object to or opt out of certain processing.
Missouri public-record access rules, including Chapter 610, govern records held by public agencies. They do not turn this private website into the custodian of Osage County arrest or court records.
Changes to This Notice
This privacy notice may be revised as services or legal duties change. Any revised version will be posted on this page with a new effective date.
