Data You Give Us Directly
Search Queries
A query entered in a search box is sent to the outside provider that operates that tool. The provider processes the name or place and supplies its result. Schuyler County Criminal History does not keep or log those query terms on its own systems.
Messages and Contact Submissions
A message sent by email may be retained so it can be answered. It is kept within the operating team unless disclosure is required by a valid legal obligation.
Data We Gather Automatically
Routine server and analytics records can collect technical facts when a page loads, including:
- Page-view dates and times
- Visited pages and time spent on them
- Device type and operating system
- Browser type and version
- Internet Protocol address
- The referring website, when supplied
Cookies and Analytics
Small device files called cookies help measure traffic, popular pages, and points where visits end. Analytics vendors summarize that use. A browser can reject cookies, although some features may then work differently.
What We Do With This Data
- Route a search request to the selected provider
- Measure which reference pages are useful
- Maintain site speed and availability
- Find and correct technical faults
- Display advertising that may reflect general interests
No Criminal-Record Data on File
Schuyler County Criminal History does not compile, keep, or sell a database of personal criminal records. Its content identifies official sources such as the Schuyler County Sheriff, the Circuit Court, the Missouri State Highway Patrol Criminal Justice Information Services Division, and the Missouri State Highway Patrol Sex Offender Registry. Visitor data is not assembled into a consumer report, and this website is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act.
Third-Party Search Partners
An outside company operates each partner search box. Information submitted there is controlled by that company's privacy policy, retention choices, and sharing rules. Review those terms before sending a query because this policy does not govern the partner's system.
Links to Other Websites
Links may lead to Missouri courts, the sheriff, state departments, registry systems, legal resources, or outside search providers. Once a visitor leaves this website, the destination's privacy terms apply. Advertising partners may also use their own systems to measure activity across sites and select ads.
Who Might See Your Data
Personal data is not sold. Limited information may be handled by:
- Analytics providers that measure performance and visits
- Search partners that receive submitted queries
- Advertising networks that place or measure ads
- Government bodies when a valid legal demand requires disclosure
How We Protect Your Data
Common administrative and technical safeguards are used for information under this site's control. No internet system can be promised completely secure, so these measures reduce risk but cannot guarantee that a breach will never occur.
Users Under 18
This website is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone younger than 18. Information identified as belonging to a minor will be removed after a valid request.
Your Data Rights
Rights over personal information can depend on the law where a visitor lives. Missouri's Sunshine Law custodian provision governs requests to public bodies, while section 43.527 governs state criminal-history access and dissemination. Those public-record laws are distinct from data held by this private website. Subject to applicable law, a visitor may:
- Ask what personal information is retained
- Request correction of inaccurate retained data
- Seek deletion when the law permits it
- Opt out of processing where a legal right applies
Updates to This Policy
This privacy policy may be revised. A changed version becomes available on this page and carries a new date so visitors can identify the current terms.
Effective date: July 30, 2026
