Terms Entered in Search Tools
A name, location, or other term entered into a search box is sent to the outside provider operating that tool. Washington County Recent Arrests does not store or log those search terms on its own systems.
Messages Sent to Us
If you send an email or contact-form message, we retain the information needed to answer. We do not share that correspondence outside the organization unless disclosure is legally required.
Technical Data Collected Automatically
A page visit may produce routine technical and usage information, including:
- Your internet protocol address
- Browser name and version
- Device category and operating system
- Pages viewed and time spent on them
- The referring website, when available
- Date and time stamps
Cookie Use
Cookies help us understand how visitors use the site. You may block cookies in your browser, although some functions may then operate differently.
Reasons We Use Data
- Operate the site reliably and efficiently
- Send a search request to the appropriate partner
- Understand which guides visitors find useful
- Diagnose and repair technical problems
- Display advertising that may reflect visitor interests
Websites Beyond Our Control
Our guides link to the Washington County Jail, the county roster and records pages, Idaho Department of Correction, government portals, and outside search services. After you follow a link, the destination’s privacy policy governs its collection and use of data.
Advertising companies may track activity across websites to select ads. That processing occurs on their systems, not ours.
Parties That May Receive Data
We do not sell personal information. Limited data may be handled by:
- Search partners processing a submitted query
- Analytics providers measuring site use
- Advertising networks delivering advertisements
- Law-enforcement or government authorities acting under a valid legal order
Reasonable Security Measures
We use standard safeguards appropriate to an informational website. No internet-connected service can promise absolute security, so we cannot guarantee that a breach will never occur.
Visitors Under Age 18
This site is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect information from anyone younger than 18. Contact us to request deletion if a minor submitted personal information.
Your Privacy Choices
- Ask for a copy of personal data we hold
- Request correction of inaccurate information
- Ask us to erase eligible personal data
- Opt out of processing where that right applies
Requests may be sent through the Contact Us page. These rights concern information held by this site, not Idaho public records maintained under Title 74 or records held by Washington County.
Changes to This Notice
We may revise this notice as practices or legal requirements change. A revised version takes effect when it is posted here with an updated effective date.
