Information You Choose to Send
Search Terms
When you type a name, location, or other query into a search tool on the site, that query may be sent to the third-party provider that operates the tool. This site does not keep its own separate log of those search terms.
Messages
If you send an email or contact message, the information in that message may be kept long enough to review it and respond. Contact messages are not shared outside the site operator except when a valid legal requirement calls for disclosure.
Technical Information Collected Automatically
Like most websites, the site and its service providers may receive basic technical details when pages load.
- IP address.
- Browser name and version.
- Device type and operating system.
- Pages viewed and approximate time spent on them.
- Referring page or site, when available.
- Date and time stamps.
Cookies
Cookies and similar tools may be used to understand site traffic, remember basic preferences, support advertising, and measure which pages are useful. You can block cookies through your browser settings, but some features may not work the same way after cookies are blocked.
How the Information Is Used
- To keep the site available, readable, and reasonably fast.
- To pass search requests to the correct search partner.
- To understand which Ste. Genevieve County jail, court, MODOC, BOP, ICE, MOVANS, and Missouri Sunshine Law pages visitors use most.
- To diagnose technical problems and security issues.
- To display advertising that may be tailored to general interests.
Links Beyond This Site
The site links to government pages, jail and sheriff resources, Missouri court and corrections portals, federal locators, VINELink/MOVANS, and third-party search tools. After you leave this site, the privacy policy and data practices of the destination site apply.
Advertising partners may use their own cookies or identifiers to measure activity across websites. That tracking occurs on their systems and under their policies, not as an official Ste. Genevieve County or Missouri public-records process.
Who May Receive Information
Personal information is not sold as a standalone customer list. It may be available to the limited groups needed to operate the site or comply with law.
- Search partners that process a query you submit through their tools.
- Analytics providers that help measure traffic and page performance.
- Advertising networks that deliver or measure ads.
- Law enforcement, courts, or government bodies when required by subpoena, court order, or another valid legal demand.
Security
The site uses reasonable safeguards for a small online reference service, but no website, email system, or internet transmission can be guaranteed completely secure. Do not treat this site as a secure channel for sensitive legal, medical, financial, or custody instructions.
Visitors Under 18
The site is intended for adults. It does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If a minor has submitted personal information, a parent or guardian may request review or deletion.
