Information Collected
Search terms entered into a third-party search tool may be passed to that provider to return results. We may receive messages sent to site contact channels. Standard technical information, such as browser type, device information, approximate location derived from IP address, pages viewed, referral data, and timestamps, can also be collected through server logs, cookies, analytics, or advertising technology.
Use and Sharing
Information may be used to operate, secure, improve, measure, and support this site; answer messages; prevent misuse; and meet legal obligations. Service providers, search partners, analytics companies, advertising networks, and vendors that help run the site may process information for those purposes. Information can also be disclosed when required by a valid legal order or to protect rights, safety, or security.
Cookies and Outside Links
Cookies and similar tools may remember preferences, measure traffic, or support advertising. Browser settings may allow cookie controls, although some features can work differently after a restriction. Links to the Smith County Sheriff, courts, MDOC, and other outside sources lead to sites with their own practices. This notice does not govern those independent services.
Security and Retention
Reasonable administrative and technical measures are used, but no online transfer or storage method is fully secure. Information is retained only as long as reasonably needed for the purposes described here, legal duties, dispute resolution, or enforcement. Do not send sensitive government identifiers through an ordinary contact message.
Children and Data Rights
This site is not directed to children under 18, and it does not knowingly seek their personal information. Depending on applicable law and location, a person may request access, correction, deletion, or information about certain processing of their data. A request can be sent through a site contact channel and may require identity verification. Mississippi’s Public Records Act, Miss. Code §25-61-1 et seq., governs public-office records rather than this private site’s privacy practices.
Policy Changes
This notice may be revised when site practices, technology, or law changes. The version posted on this page applies from its publication date. Continued use after an update means the current notice applies to that use.
