Information You Choose to Provide
Search Terms
When you type a name, county, location, or other search detail into a third-party search tool, that query is sent to the outside provider that operates the tool. This site does not keep its own separate log of those search terms.
Messages
If you send an email or other contact message, we use the information in that message to review and respond. We do not share those messages outside the organization unless a legal requirement makes disclosure necessary.
Information Collected Automatically
Like most websites, this site may collect technical information when a page loads.
- Your IP address.
- Browser name and version.
- Device type and operating system.
- Pages visited and approximate time spent on them.
- The referring website, if one is available.
- Date and time stamps.
Cookies
Cookies and similar tools may be used to understand how visitors move through the site and to support basic site functions. You can block cookies in your browser settings, though some features or measurements may work differently after blocking them.
How the Information Is Used
- To keep the site available, readable, and fast.
- To route search requests to the correct outside provider.
- To understand which Scioto County jail, court, and facility pages are useful to visitors.
- To identify broken links, display issues, and other technical problems.
- To show advertising that may be relevant to a visitor's interests.
Links Away From This Site
This site links to public jail roster pages, sheriff and court websites, Ohio DRC resources, federal locators, ICE resources, and third-party search tools. Public records maintained by Ohio public offices are governed by Ohio law, including Ohio Revised Code 149.43, but each outside website controls its own privacy practices after you leave this site.
Advertising partners may also use their own systems to measure visits or show interest-based ads across websites. That tracking takes place through their platforms, not through records hosted by this site.
Who May Receive Information
We do not sell personal data. Information may be available to the following limited parties when needed for the site to function or when the law requires it.
- Search partners that process submitted queries.
- Analytics providers that help measure site use.
- Advertising networks that serve or measure ads.
- Law-enforcement agencies, courts, or government bodies when a valid legal order requires disclosure.
Security Practices
Reasonable technical and administrative safeguards are used to protect information handled through the site. No internet-connected service can be guaranteed against every risk, so we cannot promise that any system is breach-proof.
