Information Visitors Provide
Search Terms
When a name, location, or other detail is entered into a search tool, that query is sent to the third-party provider operating the tool. Clay County Inmate Population does not store or log those search terms on its own servers.
Messages and Contact Requests
If a visitor sends an email or contact message, the information in that message may be kept long enough to review it and respond. It is not shared outside the organization except when required by law.
Information Collected Automatically
Like most websites, this site may receive technical information during a page visit, including:
- IP address.
- Browser type and version.
- Device type and operating system.
- Pages viewed and approximate time spent on pages.
- Referring website, when one is supplied.
- Date and time of the request.
Cookies
Cookies may be used to understand how visitors move through the site and to support measurement, ads, or basic site functions. Browser settings can block or delete cookies, although some features may respond differently when cookies are disabled.
How the Information Is Used
- Operate the site and keep pages loading reliably.
- Send search requests to the correct partner service.
- Understand which Clay County custody and records pages visitors use most.
- Find technical errors, broken links, and performance issues.
- Display advertising that may be based on visitor interests.
Outside Websites and Official Portals
This site links to resources such as the Clay County Sheriff's detention listing, the sheriff's Custodian of Records page, Missouri Case.net, MODOC Offender Search, BOP, ICE, VINELink, and third-party search tools. Once a visitor leaves this site, the privacy policy of the destination site controls that visit.
Advertising partners may use their own systems to measure activity across websites or show targeted ads. That tracking occurs on their platforms, not as a custody record maintained by this site.
Who May Receive Information
Personal information is not sold as a customer list. It may be handled by the following parties when needed:
- Search partners that process submitted queries.
- Analytics providers that measure traffic and site performance.
- Advertising networks that serve or measure ads.
- Law enforcement or government bodies when a valid legal order requires disclosure.
Security
Reasonable security practices are used to protect information handled through the site. No internet-connected system can be guaranteed breach-proof, so absolute security cannot be promised.
Visitors Under 18
This site is intended for adults. It does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If a minor has submitted personal information, a request may be made to delete it.
Privacy Choices
- Ask for a copy of personal information held by the site.
