Data You Provide
Search Queries
When a name, county, or other search term is typed into a partner search box, that query is sent to the third-party provider operating the tool. This site does not keep its own permanent log of those search terms.
Messages
If a visitor sends an email or contact message, the message may be kept long enough to review and respond. It is not shared outside the organization unless a legal duty requires disclosure.
Automatic Data
Basic technical data may be collected when pages load.
- IP address.
- Browser type and version.
- Device type and operating system.
- Pages viewed and time spent on pages.
- Referring website, when available.
- Date and time of the visit.
Cookies
Cookies and similar tools may help measure how visitors use the site and support ads or analytics. Browser settings can block cookies, though some features may work differently when they are disabled.
How Data Is Used
- Keep pages available and working properly.
- Route search requests to partner services.
- Understand which pages are useful.
- Find errors and security issues.
- Display ads that may be relevant to visitors.
Outside Links
Links may lead to sheriff offices, jail resources, Mississippi court and corrections pages, federal locators, advertising partners, and third-party search tools. Once a visitor leaves this site, the other site's privacy policy controls.
Some advertising partners may use their own technology to measure or personalize ads across websites. That tracking happens on their systems, not as official Scott County records activity.
Who May Receive Data
Personal data is not sold as an official record product. It may be disclosed to limited parties when needed.
- Search partners that process queries.
- Analytics services that measure traffic.
- Advertising networks.
- Law enforcement or government bodies under a valid legal order.
Security
Reasonable security practices are used, but no internet-connected service can be promised as breach-proof. Visitors should avoid sending sensitive personal details through ordinary email or partner search boxes unless they understand the third party's rules.
