Information You Submit
Search terms entered into a sponsored search box pass to the third-party provider that powers it. A message sent through a contact channel contains whatever name, email address, and text the sender supplies. Do not provide sensitive details unless they are needed and you understand which service will receive them.
Technical Data Collected Automatically
Routine technical records may include an IP address, browser and device type, referring page, pages viewed, dates, and approximate location. Cookies or similar technologies may remember preferences, measure use, support security, and enable advertising or analytics.
How Information Is Used
Data may be used to operate and protect the service, answer messages, understand which pages work well, correct technical problems, prevent misuse, and support relevant advertising. Search submissions are handled under the outside provider's own rules. Do not place sensitive personal information in a search or message unless it is needed and you understand where it will go.
Partners and Disclosures
Information may be received by search partners, hosting and technical vendors, analytics providers, and advertising networks when their services are used. It may also be disclosed when required by a valid subpoena, court order, or other lawful government demand, or when reasonably needed to protect rights, safety, and system security. Personal data is not promised to remain within one jurisdiction when a vendor operates elsewhere.
Cookies and Browser Choices
Most browsers let users delete or block cookies and limit some tracking. Blocking them may affect page features. Advertising and analytics providers can offer separate opt-out controls, and their notices govern those tools. A browser's privacy signal is handled only to the extent required by applicable law and supported by the site's systems.
Links to Other Services
Links lead to the Fresno County Sheriff, courts, California agencies, federal locators, news outlets, and outside search providers. Their privacy practices and security are separate. Review the notice on the destination before submitting a name, identifier, email, or payment information.
Security and Retention
Reasonable safeguards are used, but no website, network, or storage method can guarantee perfect security. Information is kept only as long as reasonably needed for operations, legal duties, dispute resolution, security, or the purpose for which it was collected. Retention periods can vary by data type and provider.
Children and Minors
This service is not intended for anyone under 18, and personal information from minors is not knowingly solicited. A parent or guardian who believes a minor supplied information may use the Get in Touch page.
Your Privacy Choices
Depending on where a user lives, applicable law may provide rights to request access, correction, deletion, or information about certain disclosures. California residents may have rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act, as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act, subject to exceptions. A request can be sent through Get in Touch. Identity may need to be verified before action is taken. This private site cannot alter records held by Fresno County, a police department, a court, or an outside publisher.
Changes to This Notice
This notice may be revised as practices, vendors, or legal requirements change. The version posted here applies when it becomes available. Continued use after an update means the revised notice governs later activity.
