Privacy Notice

This notice describes what information Mendocino County Recent Arrests receives, how it is used, and when it may be shared. By using the site, you accept the practices stated here.

Information You Submit

Search Terms

A name or location entered in a search box is transmitted to the third-party provider operating that tool. We do not store or log those search terms on our own systems.

Messages Sent to Us

If you email us or submit a contact message, we retain the information needed to answer. We do not share the message outside our organization unless the law requires disclosure.


Automatic Technical Data

Routine technical information may be collected when a page loads. This helps operate, secure, and assess the site.

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

Cookies

Cookies help measure how visitors use the site. You may block them through browser controls, though some features may then work differently.


How Information Is Used

Collected information supports limited operational purposes:

  • Keeping pages available and responsive
  • Sending search requests to the selected partner
  • Learning which content visitors find useful
  • Detecting and correcting technical faults
  • Displaying advertising that may reflect visitor interests

Other Websites and Advertising

Links may lead to MCSO booking records, Mendocino Superior Court, CDCR, federal locators, police pages, government portals, or outside search providers. Once you leave, the destination’s privacy terms govern its collection and use of information.

Some advertising partners may measure activity across websites to select ads. That processing occurs on their systems, not ours.


Parties Receiving Information

We do not sell personal information. Limited information may be provided to:

  • Search partners that process a submitted query
  • Services that measure site traffic and performance
  • Advertising networks
  • Law enforcement or another government authority responding to a valid legal order

Security Measures

We use standard safeguards suited to the information handled. No website, network, or internet transmission can be promised as completely secure, so we cannot guarantee that a breach will never occur.


Visitors Under Eighteen

This service is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. Contact us to request deletion if a minor has submitted information.


Your Privacy Choices

Subject to applicable law, you may:

  • Ask for a copy of personal information we hold
  • Request correction of inaccurate information
  • Ask that eligible information be erased
  • Object to or opt out of certain processing

Changes to This Notice

We may revise this Privacy Notice. A change becomes effective when the updated version and its new effective date are posted here.
