Data You Give Us Directly
Search Queries
A name or location entered in a search tool is sent directly to the outside provider operating that feature. The provider processes the query and supplies its response. We do not retain or log those terms on our systems.
Messages and Contact Submissions
An email may be kept as needed to prepare and preserve a response. It remains within our organization unless disclosure is required by law.
Data We Gather Automatically
Our systems receive standard technical details when a page loads, including:
- Page-view times and the pages visited
- Device category and operating system
- IP address
- Browser type and version
- Referring site, when one is supplied
- Approximate time spent on a page
Cookies and Analytics
Cookies are small files placed on a device. Along with analytics services, they help aggregate traffic patterns such as popular pages and common exit points. A browser can block cookies, though doing so may alter how some features work.
What We Do With This Data
- Route submitted queries to the selected partner
- Maintain site performance and availability
- Find and repair technical problems
- Measure which material visitors use
- Display advertising that may reflect inferred interests
No Criminal-Record Data on File
We do not maintain, compile, or sell a database of personal criminal records. The published material describes how to reach Spokane County courts, the sheriff, the Washington State Patrol, and the Washington Sex Offender Public Registry. Visitor information is not assembled into a consumer report or a file about a third party, and this site is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act.
Third-Party Search Partners
Outside companies operate the search boxes. Their own privacy terms govern a submitted query, including retention and disclosure practices beyond our control. Read the applicable provider policy before using its tool.
Links to Other Websites
Links may lead to Spokane County offices, courts, Washington agencies, legal resources, or commercial tools. Once a visitor leaves this site, the destination's policy controls. Review it before providing personal information.
Advertising providers may use their own systems to measure activity across websites and select targeted ads.
Who Might See Your Data
Personal data is not sold. Limited information may be available to:
- Analytics vendors measuring traffic and performance
- Search providers receiving queries submitted to their tools
- Advertising networks serving content
- Government or law-enforcement bodies acting under a valid legal demand
How We Protect Your Data
Reasonable security practices are used to protect collected data. No internet system can guarantee absolute safety, so we cannot promise that unauthorized access will never occur.
Users Under 18
The service is intended for adults, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone younger than 18. A verified report of such data will be handled with deletion as appropriate.
Your Data Rights
Rights vary with residency and applicable law. Washington's Consumer Protection Act, chapter 19.86 RCW, governs unfair or deceptive practices. The Washington Public Records Act, chapter 42.56 RCW, and Criminal Records Privacy Act, chapter 10.97 RCW, govern official government records rather than creating access to private-site data. Subject to applicable law, you may:
- Request access to personal information held about you
- Ask that inaccurate data be corrected
- Seek deletion where the law provides it
- Object to eligible forms of processing
