Johnston Privacy Notice

This notice explains the information collected during a visit, how it is used, and when a service provider or lawful authority may receive it. By using the site, you accept the practices described below.

Information You Submit

Partner Search Terms

A name or place entered in a search box passes to the third-party company that operates the tool. This site does not store or log those search terms on its own systems.

Messages Sent to Us

Email and contact-form messages may be retained long enough to answer and manage the request. They are not shared outside the organization unless the law requires disclosure.


Automatic Technical Data

Normal web systems may record basic technical details when a page loads, including:

  • Internet Protocol address;
  • browser name and version;
  • device type and operating system;
  • pages viewed and time spent;
  • the referring site, when available;
  • access timestamps.

Cookie Choices

Cookies help measure how visitors use the pages. A browser can reject or delete them, although some functions may then work differently.


Purposes for Data Use

Collected information is used only for operating, measuring, securing, and funding the service.

  • Operate and improve site performance;
  • send search requests to the selected provider;
  • understand which information readers use;
  • diagnose errors and security issues;
  • display advertising that may reflect interests.

Privacy on Linked Services

Links reach jail rosters, arrest searches, sheriff and corrections pages, court portals, and independent search tools. After a reader leaves, the destination’s privacy policy applies.

Advertising companies may measure activity across different sites to select ads. That processing occurs through their systems and is governed by their policies.


Limited Data Disclosures

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

  • search partners processing a query;
  • analytics providers measuring use;
  • advertising networks serving ads;
  • law-enforcement or government bodies acting under a valid legal order.

Reasonable Security Measures

Standard safeguards are used to protect data. No internet service is fully secure, however, so a breach-proof guarantee cannot be made.


Adults Only

The service is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect information from anyone under eighteen. Contact us to request deletion if a minor submitted personal data.


Your Privacy Choices

Depending on applicable law, a user may make the following requests about personal information held by the site.

  • Ask for a copy of personal data held;
  • request correction of inaccurate data;
  • seek deletion where applicable;
  • object to or opt out of certain processing.

Notice Revisions

This notice may change as practices or legal duties evolve. A revised version takes effect when posted with a new effective date.
