Privacy Policy

This policy describes how this privately operated Stanislaus County criminal-record resource handles information associated with visits, searches, links, and third-party tools. It does not govern the Superior Court, Sheriff's Office, California Department of Justice, or any other government site reached through an external link.

Data You Give Us Directly

Search Queries

Text entered into a search tool may be sent to the third-party provider that supplies it. Do not enter sensitive personal data unless that provider clearly requires it and you accept its policy.

Messages and Contact Submissions

If a communication channel is used, the information supplied may be kept long enough to handle the request and meet security or legal needs.

Data We Gather Automatically

Routine logs may record an IP address, browser and device type, referring page, visited pages, and approximate visit time. This technical data helps operate, secure, and measure the service.

Cookies and Analytics

Cookies or similar tools may remember preferences, measure traffic, and support third-party search or advertising functions. Browser controls can limit cookies, though some features may then work differently.

What We Do With This Data

Collected data may be used to operate the site, understand performance, detect abuse, maintain security, and comply with applicable law. It is not used to create an official Stanislaus County or California criminal-history file.

No Criminal-Record Data on File

This site does not maintain the official court, arrest, jail, DOJ, CDCR, or California Megan's Law records described in its content. Those records remain with their government custodians and are subject to California disclosure rules, including Penal Code sections 11105 and 13300.

Third-Party Search Partners

A search partner may collect queries and other data under its own privacy terms. The partner controls its service, prices, data sources, retention, and response to privacy requests.

Links to Other Websites

External links may lead to Stanislaus County, California state, federal, or other sites. Their privacy and security practices apply after a visitor leaves this domain.

Who Might See Your Data

Service, hosting, analytics, security, or search providers may process limited data needed for their work. Information may also be disclosed when required by law, to protect rights or safety, or as part of a lawful business transfer.

How We Protect Your Data

Reasonable administrative and technical safeguards are used, but no internet system can promise complete security. Visitors should avoid sending confidential record material through an unsecured channel.

Users Under 18

This resource is directed to adults and is not designed to collect personal information from children. Information known to have been submitted by a child may be removed when reasonably possible.

Your Data Rights

California residents may have rights regarding access, deletion, correction, or limits on certain uses of personal information under applicable consumer privacy law. Government records requested under the California Public Records Act, Government Code section 7920.000 et seq., remain controlled by the agency that holds them. Requests about a third-party search tool must go to that provider.

Updates to This Policy

This policy may change as services, providers, or legal duties change. The version posted here controls from its publication date, July 16, 2026.
