Information You Provide on Purpose
Names and Searches You Type
When you enter an inmate name or a location into a search box on this site, that text travels to the outside provider that powers the lookup. We do not keep it. The search terms are not logged or stored on our end, and we do not build a record of who you searched for. The provider that runs the tool handles your query under its own rules, so its privacy policy is the one that applies to what you type.
Notes You Send Us
If you email us or fill out a contact form, we hold on to that message so we can write back. We use it for that reason alone. Your note stays inside our organization. We do not pass it to outside parties unless a law or a valid court order forces us to.
Information Collected on Its Own
Some details are gathered by the server each time a page loads. This happens automatically and does not depend on you filling anything out. The items below are typical of almost every website you visit.
- The IP address your connection uses
- The browser and version you are running
- The device type and operating system you are on
- The pages you open and how long you stay on each one
- The site that sent you here, if you arrived from a link
- The date and time of each visit
Cookies and Similar Files
Small files called cookies help us see how people move through the site. Your browser settings let you block or delete them whenever you want. Keep in mind that turning cookies off can change how some parts of the site behave for you.
How the Information Gets Used
- To keep the site online and loading quickly
- To send your search to the correct partner service
- To learn which pages readers find helpful
- To spot technical problems and fix them
- To display ads that may line up with your interests
Links That Lead Off This Site
Many pages point to jail rosters, the Connecticut Department of Correction, police department pages, court portals, and outside search tools. Once you click through, you are on someone else's website. Their privacy policy governs what happens there, not ours. We suggest reading the policy of any site you land on before you share details with it.
Some advertising partners may follow what you do across different websites to serve ads aimed at you. That tracking runs on their systems, not on this one. Their own terms and privacy practices decide how they use what they gather.
Who May Receive Your Information
We do not sell personal data to anyone. In a few situations, information may reach the parties listed here.

- Advertising networks that place ads on the pages
- Law enforcement or government bodies when a valid legal order requires it
Keeping Your Information Safe
We use reasonable, standard safeguards to protect the data we handle. No system connected to the internet is ever fully secure, though. We cannot promise that a breach will never happen, and we make no guarantee that your information is completely safe from every threat.
Visitors Who Are Minors
This site is built for adults. We do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 18. If you believe a minor has sent us data, contact us and we will remove it from our records.
