Information You Submit
Search Terms
A name or location entered in a search tool is sent to the third-party provider that operates that tool. Monterey County Recent Arrests does not store or log those search terms on its own systems.
Messages
Email and contact-form messages are retained as needed to answer the sender. They are not shared outside the organization unless disclosure is required by law.
Technical Data Collected
Standard web systems may record basic technical details when a page loads, including:
- Your Internet Protocol address
- Browser name and version
- Device category and operating system
- Pages visited and time spent
- The referring website, when supplied
- Date and time records
Cookies
Cookies help measure how visitors use the site. Most browsers can reject or remove them, though some features may work differently when cookies are blocked.
How Information Is Used
Collected information supports site operations and helps improve the service.
- Operate the site and maintain reasonable performance
- Send search requests to the selected partner
- Understand which pages visitors find useful

Privacy on Linked Services
Links may lead to jail rosters, patrol logs, sheriff and corrections pages, government portals, or third-party search tools. Once you leave, the destination's privacy terms control its collection and use of data.
Some advertising companies may track activity across websites to select ads. That tracking occurs through their systems, not records hosted by this site.
Limited Information Sharing
Personal information is not sold. It may be provided only to these categories of recipients:
- Search partners processing a submitted query
- Analytics providers measuring site use
- Advertising networks serving ads
- Law enforcement or government authorities acting under a valid legal order
Reasonable Security Measures
Standard safeguards are used to protect information. No system connected to the internet is completely secure, so a breach-proof guarantee cannot be made.
