Information You Submit
Search Terms
When you type a name, location, or other search term into a third-party search tool, that request is sent to the provider that operates the tool. This site does not keep its own stored log of those search terms.
Messages
If you email us or send a contact message, we may keep the information needed to respond. We do not share those messages outside the organization unless the law requires it, such as under a valid legal order.
Information Collected Automatically
Like most websites, this site may collect technical information when a page loads.
- Internet Protocol address.
- Browser name and version.
- Device type and operating system.
- Pages viewed and time spent on pages.
- Referring website, when available.
- Date and time stamps.
Cookies
Cookies may be used to understand site usage and improve performance. You can block cookies through your browser settings, though some site features or partner tools may behave differently when cookies are disabled.
How Information Is Used
- To keep the site available, stable, and reasonably fast.
- To send search requests to the correct partner service.
- To understand which Thurston County inmate-records pages visitors use.
- To diagnose technical errors and security issues.
- To display advertising that may be based on broad visitor interests.
Outside Websites and Public Records
This site links to sheriff pages, jail roster resources, Washington court and corrections portals, federal locators, and outside search services. Once you leave this site, the privacy policy of the destination site controls what happens there. Washington public-records requests made through an official agency are governed by that agency's rules and may involve Chapter 42.56 RCW, the Washington Public Records Act.
Advertising partners may use their own systems to recognize activity across websites for interest-based advertising. Those tools operate on the partner's platform, not as a public-records function of this site.
Who May Receive Information
We do not sell personal information. Information may be handled by limited service providers or disclosed when required.
- Search partners that process submitted queries.
- Analytics providers that measure traffic and performance.
- Advertising networks that place or measure ads.
- Law enforcement or government bodies when a valid legal order requires disclosure.
Security
We use reasonable security practices for a small public website. No internet-connected system can be promised as completely secure, so we cannot guarantee that information will never be accessed without authorization.
Visitors Under 18
This site is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If a minor submitted information, contact us so we can review and remove it where appropriate.
Your Choices
- Ask for a copy of personal information we maintain about you.
- Request correction of inaccurate information you provided.
- Ask that information be deleted when retention is not needed.
- Opt out of certain processing where applicable.
Policy Changes
This privacy notice may be revised from time to time. Updates will be posted on this page with the new effective version reflected by the page content.
