Information You Submit
Queries Sent Through Search Tools
When you enter a name, location, or other terms into a search tool, the query is transmitted to the third-party provider operating that tool. Marin County Recent Arrests does not store or log those search terms on its own systems. The provider's policy governs its receipt and use of the query.
Emails and Other Messages
If you send an email or submit a contact message, we retain the information needed to read and answer it. We do not share the message outside the organization unless disclosure is required by law.
Technical Information Collected Automatically
Routine web systems may record technical and usage details when a page loads. That information can include:
- The internet protocol address used for the visit
- Browser name, type, and version
- Device category and operating system
- Pages viewed and time spent on them
- The referring website, when available
- Date and time records for requests
Cookies and Similar Storage
Cookies may help measure how visitors move through the site and support advertising or analytics functions. You can block or remove cookies through browser controls, although disabling them may cause some site or partner features to work differently.
How Information Supports the Site
Collected information may be used for the following operational purposes:
- Keeping pages available, responsive, and reliable
- Sending search requests to the selected partner service
- Understanding which Marin County resource pages visitors find useful
- Diagnosing errors, abuse, and other technical problems
- Displaying advertising that may reflect general interests
Other Websites and Services
This site links to the Marin County Jail Booking Log, Sheriff and police pages, corrections resources, government portals, and third-party search tools. Once you follow an outside link, that operator's privacy notice and data practices apply instead of this one.
Some advertising providers may use their own systems to recognize activity across websites and select interest-based ads. That tracking occurs through the provider's technology and is controlled under its policies and opt-out choices.
Parties That May Receive Information
We do not sell personal information. Limited data may nevertheless be available to:
- Search partners that process a query you submit
- Analytics providers that measure site traffic and use
- Advertising networks serving or evaluating ads
- Law-enforcement agencies or government bodies acting under a valid legal order
Security Practices and Limits
Reasonable, commonly used safeguards are applied to information under our control. No website, network, transmission method, or storage system connected to the internet can be guaranteed completely secure, so we cannot promise that a breach will never occur.
Visitors Younger Than 18
This website is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. A parent or guardian who believes a minor submitted personal data may use the Contact Us page to request review and deletion.
Your Privacy Choices
Depending on applicable law and the information involved, you may ask to:
- Receive a copy of personal data we hold about you
- Correct inaccurate personal information
- Delete eligible personal data
- Opt out of certain forms of processing
These requests concern data controlled by this site. A government office, search provider, analytics service, or ad network handles requests about information on its own systems under its separate policy. California residents may also have rights under applicable California privacy law.
Changes to This Notice
This Privacy Notice may be revised as the site, its service providers, or legal requirements change. The updated language and a new effective date will be posted on this page when a revision takes effect.
Effective date: September 8, 2026.
