Terms Entered in Search Tools
A name or location entered in a search box is sent to the independent provider operating that tool. Butte County Recent Arrests does not store or log those search terms on its own systems.
Messages Sent to Us
If you email us or submit a contact message, we retain its contents and contact details as needed to respond. We do not share a message outside the organization unless the law requires it.
Technical Information Collected
Routine server and analytics records may capture these details when a page loads:
- The visitor’s IP address
- Browser name and version
- Device category and operating system
- Pages viewed and time spent on them
- The referring website, when available
- Date and time stamps
Cookies and Browser Controls
Cookies help measure how visitors use the site. A browser can reject or delete them, although blocking cookies may cause some features to work differently.
Reasons We Use Information
- Operate the site and maintain reasonable performance
- Send search requests to the selected partner service
- Understand which pages visitors find useful
- Identify and repair errors or security problems
- Display advertising that may reflect visitor interests
Official and Independent Links
Pages may link to the Butte County Sheriff’s Office, county records material under the Idaho Public Records Act, jail and court resources, the Idaho Department of Correction, federal locators, and outside search providers. After a visitor follows a link, that destination’s privacy policy controls its collection and use of data.
Advertising partners may use their own systems to recognize activity across websites and select interest-based advertising. That tracking takes place through the partner’s technology, not a Butte County government system or official record.
Parties That May Receive Data
We do not sell personal information. Limited information may be available to:
- Search partners that process a submitted query
- Analytics vendors that measure site use
- Advertising networks that deliver or assess ads
- Law-enforcement or government authorities acting under a valid legal order
Reasonable Security Measures
We use standard safeguards intended to protect information. No website, transmission, or internet-connected storage system is completely secure, so we cannot promise that a breach will never occur.
Visitors Younger Than 18
This website is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect information from anyone under 18. If a minor has submitted personal information, use the Get in Touch page to request deletion.
Choices About Your Data
- Ask for a copy of personal information we hold
- Request correction of inaccurate information
- Ask that eligible personal information be erased
- Opt out of certain processing where that right applies
Changes to This Notice
We may revise this privacy notice as practices or legal requirements change. An updated version takes effect when it is posted here with a revised effective date.
