Data You Give Us Directly
Search Queries
A name or location entered in a search tool is sent directly to the outside provider that operates that tool. The provider processes the query and supplies any result. We do not keep or log those search terms on our systems.
Messages and Contact Submissions
We retain an email or other direct message as needed to respond. It remains within our organization unless disclosure is required by law.
Data We Gather Automatically
When a page loads, servers may automatically receive basic technical details about the visit:
- Page-view dates and times
- The referring website, when one is available
- Browser name and version
- Device category and operating system
- Pages viewed and time spent on them
- The device's assigned IP address
Cookies and Analytics
Cookies are small files saved on a device. They help analytics services combine traffic data, such as popular pages and points where visits end. A browser can block cookies, although parts of the website may then work differently.
What We Do With This Data
- Finding and repairing technical problems
- Maintaining reliable, fast page delivery
- Routing a search request to the selected provider
- Measuring which material visitors use
- Displaying advertising that may reflect visitor interests
No Criminal-Record Data on File
We do not maintain, assemble, or sell a database of personal criminal records. The published material identifies official sources for Bollinger County records, including the sheriff, Circuit Court, Missouri State Highway Patrol CJIS Central Repository, and Missouri Sex Offender Registry. Visitor data is not combined into a third-party criminal file or consumer report, and this website is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act.
Third-Party Search Partners
Outside companies operate the search boxes. Their privacy policies govern information submitted through those tools, and each provider controls its own retention and disclosure practices. Review the applicable provider policy before running a query.
Links to Other Websites
Links may lead to courts, law-enforcement offices, Missouri agencies, legal resources, or third-party tools. Once a visitor leaves this website, the destination's privacy terms control the visit. Read them before providing personal information.
Advertising providers may use their systems to measure activity across websites and select targeted ads. We do not operate those tracking systems.
Who Might See Your Data
We do not sell personal information. Data may be available to:
- Analytics providers that measure traffic and performance
- Search companies that process a query submitted to their tool
- Advertising networks that serve ads on the website
- Government or law-enforcement bodies acting under a valid legal demand
How We Protect Your Data
Reasonable, commonly used safeguards protect the data we receive. No internet service can guarantee perfect security, so we cannot promise that unauthorized access will never occur.
Users Under 18
The website is intended for adults, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from a person under 18. If we learn that a minor supplied such data, we will delete it.
Your Data Rights
Rights may also arise under the law where a visitor lives. Missouri's Sunshine Law, chapter 610, governs access to public government records, while RSMo section 43.506 limits dissemination of criminal-history information. Those public-record rules do not turn this private website into a government custodian. Visitors may:
- Object to certain types of processing
- Request deletion of personal data
- Ask to correct inaccurate information
- Request a copy of personal information we hold
Updates to This Policy
This policy may be revised. A new version will appear here with its updated effective date, so visitors should review the page from time to time.
Effective date: July 30, 2026
