Information You Enter
Search Terms
When you type a name, location, or related search term into a search tool on this site, that query may be sent to the third-party provider that powers the tool. This site does not keep its own separate log of those search terms. The provider's own privacy policy and terms control how it handles the query after submission.
Messages
If you email us or send a contact message, we use the information in that message to review and respond. We do not share those messages outside our organization unless a valid legal requirement calls for disclosure.
Automatic Site Data
Like most websites, this site may receive technical information when a page loads.
- Internet Protocol address.
- Browser name, browser version, and language settings.
- Device type, screen information, and operating system.
- Pages viewed and approximate time spent on those pages.
- Referring website or search engine, when available.
- Date and time stamps tied to visits and requests.
Cookies
Cookies and similar technologies may be used to understand how visitors use the site, keep basic preferences, measure traffic, and support advertising. You can block or delete cookies through your browser settings. Some tools, ads, or measurement features may work differently if cookies are disabled.
How Data Is Used
- Operate the site and keep pages loading reliably.
- Send search requests to the proper partner service.
- Measure which Pend Oreille County jail, court, and locator pages are useful.
- Find broken links, server errors, and other technical problems.
- Support advertising that may be based on general visitor interests.
Other Websites
This site links to Pend Oreille County Sheriff's Office pages, the Daily Press Box roster folder, Washington Courts, Washington DOC, VINE, public-record portals, federal locators, and third-party search services. Public-record requests sent to Washington agencies are handled under laws such as RCW 42.56.030 and RCW 42.56.520, not this site's privacy practices. After you leave this site, the privacy policy of the destination website controls what happens there.
Advertising partners may use their own systems to measure ads or personalize ads across websites. That tracking occurs on their platforms, not as an official Pend Oreille County or Washington government function.
Who May Receive Data
We do not sell personal data. Limited data may be shared with service providers or disclosed when required.
- Search partners that process submitted searches.
- Analytics providers that measure traffic and site performance.
- Advertising networks that display or measure ads.
- Law enforcement, courts, regulators, or government bodies when a valid subpoena, court order, warrant, or other lawful process requires it.
Security Practices
We use reasonable administrative and technical safeguards for the information handled through this site. No internet-connected service can be made fully secure, and we cannot guarantee that data will never be accessed, lost, delayed, or misused by an unauthorized party.
Users Under 18
This site is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If a minor has submitted personal information, contact us so we can review and delete it where appropriate.
