Information You Submit
Search Terms
When you type a name, location, or related query into a search box powered by a third-party provider, that query is sent to the provider operating the tool. This site does not keep its own log of those search terms.
Messages
If you send an email or contact message, the information in that message may be kept long enough to review and respond. It is not shared outside the organization unless a legal requirement calls for disclosure.
Information Collected Automatically
Like most websites, each page load may produce basic technical data used for security, diagnostics, analytics, and operation.
- Your IP address.
- Your browser type and version.
- Your device type and operating system.
- Pages viewed and approximate time spent on those pages.
- The referring website, if one is available.
- Date and time stamps.
Cookies
Cookies and similar tools may be used to understand how visitors move through the site and to support advertising or analytics. You can block cookies through your browser settings, but some features may work differently after they are blocked.
How the Information Is Used
- To keep the site available, stable, and reasonably fast.
- To send search requests to the partner service selected by the visitor.
- To understand which Owyhee County jail, court, IDOC, BOP, ICE, and VINELink resource pages are useful.
- To identify and repair technical problems.
- To display advertising that may be based on general interests.
Links Leaving This Site
The site links to Owyhee County Sheriff's Office pages, the jail roster, sheriff records forms, Idaho iCourt, IDOC, BOP, ICE, VINELink, and third-party search tools. Once you leave this site, the privacy policy and terms of the destination site control your visit.
Advertising partners may use their own systems to recognize activity across websites for interest-based ads. That tracking is handled on their platforms, not by an official Owyhee County office.
Who May Receive Information
Personal information is not sold as a standalone list. It may be available to the following categories when needed for the site or required by law.
- Search partners that process submitted queries.
- Analytics providers that measure site use.
- Advertising networks that place or measure ads.
- Law enforcement, courts, or government bodies when a valid legal order requires disclosure.
Security
Reasonable security practices are used to protect information handled through the site. No internet-connected service can be guaranteed completely secure, and no breach-proof promise is made.
