Privacy Policy

This policy describes the information collected when someone uses Jasper County Criminal History, why that information may be used, and the limited circumstances in which another party may receive it. By continuing to use the website, a visitor accepts the practices stated here.

Data You Give Us Directly

Search Queries

A name or place entered in a search tool is sent directly to the outside provider operating that tool. The provider processes the query and supplies its response. Jasper County Criminal History does not keep or record those search terms on its own systems.

Messages and Contact Submissions

When someone emails us, the message may be retained long enough to answer and maintain the related correspondence. It remains within our organization unless disclosure is required by a valid legal obligation.

Data We Gather Automatically

Standard technical details can be recorded by the server whenever a visitor opens a page. Those details may include:

  • The date and time of each page request
  • The visitor’s device type and operating system
  • The browser name and version used for the visit
  • The device’s assigned Internet Protocol address
  • Pages viewed and the approximate time spent on them
  • The referring website, when that information is available

Cookies and Analytics

Small cookie files and analytics services may help measure visits, popular pages, and points where users leave. Browser controls can block or remove cookies. Disabling them may cause some website functions to behave in a different way.

What We Do With This Data

  • Route a submitted search to the selected partner service
  • Maintain site availability, speed, and basic operation
  • Diagnose faults and correct technical problems
  • Assess which resources visitors use and where improvements are needed
  • Display advertising that may reflect a visitor’s interests

No Criminal-Record Data on File

Jasper County Criminal History does not maintain, assemble, or sell a database of personal criminal records. It explains how to reach official sources, including Jasper County courts and law enforcement, the Missouri State Highway Patrol CJIS Central Repository, and the Missouri Sex Offender Registry. Public access to government records may be governed by the Missouri Sunshine Law, including the arrest-report boundaries in section 610.100 RSMo, but that law does not turn this private website’s visitor data into a county record. We are not a consumer reporting agency, and visitor information is not compiled into consumer reports about other people.

Third-Party Search Partners

Outside companies power the search boxes that appear on the website. A partner’s own privacy policy controls information entered into its tool, along with that provider’s retention and disclosure choices. We do not direct those practices. Review the applicable partner policy before sending a query.

Links to Other Websites

Links may lead to Jasper County offices, Missouri court and agency systems, legal resources, or outside search services. Once a visitor follows an external link, the destination’s policy governs that visit. Read its terms before providing personal information.

Advertising providers may also use their own technology to measure activity across websites and select ads. That processing occurs through their systems rather than ours.

Who Might See Your Data

We do not sell personal information. Limited information may be available to:

  • Advertising networks that place or measure ads
  • Analytics providers used to assess traffic and performance
  • Search partners that process a visitor’s submitted query
  • Courts, law enforcement, or government bodies acting under a valid legal demand

How We Protect Your Data

Reasonable, commonly used safeguards are applied to information collected through the website. No Internet system can be guaranteed secure in every circumstance, so these measures cannot promise that unauthorized access or a breach will never occur.

Users Under 18

The website is intended for adults, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If we learn that a minor submitted such information, we will remove it after receiving enough detail to identify the material.

Your Data Rights

Rights concerning personal information can depend on the visitor’s location and the law that applies to the particular request. Missouri does not provide a general private-site right here merely through the Missouri Sunshine Law, which governs public governmental records. Subject to applicable Missouri or federal law, a visitor may ask us to:

  • Provide the personal information we hold about that visitor
  • Correct personal information shown to be inaccurate
  • Delete information where the applicable law permits the request
  • Honor an available opt-out from a covered form of processing

Updates to This Policy

This privacy policy may be revised as practices or legal duties change. A replacement will be posted on this page, and the effective date will be updated so visitors can identify the current version.

Effective date: July 30, 2026
