Information You Submit
Partner Search Entries
A name, location, or other term entered in an outside search tool is sent to the third-party company that operates that tool. This site does not store or log those search terms on its own systems.
Messages
An email or contact submission may be retained long enough to answer it and keep an ordinary business record of the exchange. It is not shared outside the organization unless the law requires disclosure.
Automatic Technical Records
A normal page request may produce limited diagnostic and usage data.
- Internet Protocol address
- Browser name and version
- Device class and operating system
- Pages viewed and time spent
- Referring page, when supplied
- Date and time of a request
Cookies
Cookies help measure how visitors use the site. A browser can reject or remove them, although a blocked cookie may change how some functions behave.
Reasons for Data Use
Collected data is used for a limited set of operating purposes.
- Keep pages available and responsive
- Send a search to the selected partner
- Measure which content helps visitors
- Diagnose faults and security problems
- Display advertising that may reflect interests
Websites Beyond Our Control
Links may lead to BCSO, Massachusetts courts, MA DOC, federal locators, local police resources, or outside search tools. After a visitor follows a link, the destination's own privacy notice governs its collection and use.
Advertising companies may also measure activity across sites to select ads. That tracking occurs through their systems, not records kept by this site.
Limited Data Sharing
Personal data is not sold. Depending on a visitor's actions, it may be processed by these parties.
- Search partners that receive submitted queries
- Analytics vendors that measure site use
- Advertising networks that serve ads
- Law enforcement or another public body acting under a valid legal order
Security Is Best Effort
Reasonable, standard safeguards are used. No site connected to the internet can promise perfect security, and this site cannot guarantee that a breach will never occur.
Adults Only
This site is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under 18. A parent or guardian may use the Get in Touch page to request deletion of data submitted by a minor.
Your Privacy Choices
Subject to applicable law and the limits of the data held, a person may make the following requests.
- Ask for a copy of personal data held
- Correct inaccurate personal data
- Request deletion of personal data
- Object to or opt out of certain processing
