Information You Provide
Search terms
Anything typed into a search box, such as a name or location, goes straight to the third-party provider running that tool. The site itself keeps no separate log of those terms.
Messages
Messages and emails sent through a contact channel may be kept on file so a reply is possible. They stay within the organization unless the law compels disclosure.
Technical Information Collected
When a page loads, servers and service providers receive routine technical details. These can include items like the following:
- Internet protocol address;
- browser type and version;
- device and operating-system information;
- pages requested and time spent on them;
- the referring page, if one was supplied; and
- request dates and times.
Cookies
Cookies do quiet work here. They remember your settings, measure traffic, support ads, and help diagnose technical problems. Want to limit them? Your browser gives you that control. Just know some features may act a little differently once cookies are blocked.
How Information Is Used
The details collected serve a few clear purposes. Technical and contact information keeps the service running day to day and helps protect it from misuse. It can also route a search query to the right provider, show which records-reference pages visitors actually use, and flag errors that need fixing. Some of it supports advertising that may match a visitor's interests.
Links and Outside Services
Links from this site point to a range of outside places. Some lead to Cape May County custody databases, police blotters, or court dockets. Others go to corrections departments, legal reference material, and general search engines. Once a visitor clicks through, the privacy rules at the destination take over.
Ad partners deserve a mention here too. Through their own tracking systems, they can follow activity across many sites, not just this one.
Who May Receive Data
Personal data is not sold as a product here. Certain parties still process information when needed to run a feature or satisfy a legal duty:
- search providers that receive a submitted query;
- analytics and hosting services;
- advertising networks;
- vendors that support the site's operation; and
- government or law-enforcement bodies acting under a valid legal demand.
Security Practices
Reasonable safeguards, both administrative and technical, stand between visitor information and misuse. Still, no site hooked up to the internet can promise perfect safety. That's just reality. Never send sensitive details through an unsecured contact channel.
Visitors Under 18
The site is built for adults. It does not knowingly gather personal details from anyone under 18. Nothing here is aimed at children. If a parent or guardian believes a minor handed over information anyway, they can ask to have it removed through the contact channel.
Your Privacy Choices
Visitors have options here. You can ask what personal information is held about you, request a correction to inaccurate contact details, or seek deletion where that applies. Questions about opting out of certain kinds of processing are welcome too. Any of these requests can be sent through Get in Touch.
Notice Updates
Expect this notice to change over time as the service, its providers, or the law shifts. A new version applies once it is posted here.
