Privacy Notice

This notice explains what Palm Beach County Recent Arrests collects, why data is used, and when it may be shared. By using the site, you accept the practices described here.

Information You Submit

Search Terms

A name or location entered into a search box is sent to the third-party provider that operates the tool. This site does not store or log those search terms on its own systems.

Messages

Email and contact-form messages are kept as needed to answer the sender. They are not shared outside the organization unless disclosure is required by law.


Technical Data Collected Automatically

Normal page requests may provide the following technical details:

  • Internet Protocol address;
  • browser name and version;
  • device class and operating system;
  • pages viewed and time spent;
  • referring website, when supplied; and
  • request dates and times.

Cookies

Cookies help measure how visitors use the site. A browser can block or delete them, though some features may then work differently.


How Information Is Used

  • Operate the site and maintain its speed;
  • send search requests to the selected partner;
  • understand which pages readers use;
  • diagnose errors and security issues; and
  • display advertising that may reflect visitor interests.

Other Websites and Advertising

Links may lead to jail rosters, booking searches, sheriff and corrections pages, public portals, or outside search tools. Once a reader leaves this site, the destination's privacy terms control.

Advertising companies may use their own systems to measure activity across websites and select ads. That tracking is handled by those companies, not by this site's records guide.


Parties That May Receive Data

Personal information is not sold. It may be handled by:

  • search partners that process submitted queries;
  • analytics providers;
  • advertising networks; and
  • law-enforcement or government bodies acting under a valid legal order.

Security Practices

Reasonable, standard safeguards are used to protect information. No internet service can promise absolute security, and this site cannot guarantee that a breach will never occur.


Visitors Under 18

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 data may request its deletion.


Your Privacy Choices

  • Ask for a copy of personal data held by the site;
  • request correction of inaccurate data;
  • ask that eligible information be erased; and
  • opt out of certain processing where that right applies.

Changes to This Notice

This notice may be revised as site practices or legal duties change. A new version takes effect when it is posted here with its updated effective date.
