Information You Submit
Terms Entered in Search
A name, place, or other term entered into a search tool is sent to the third-party provider that operates that tool. Butte County Recent Arrests does not keep or log those search terms on its own systems. The provider may process the request under its own privacy policy and technical practices.
Messages Sent to Us
Information included in an email or contact form is retained as needed to review and answer the message. Contact submissions are not shared outside the organization unless disclosure is required by law or a valid legal process.
Information Collected Automatically
Ordinary technical records may be created when a page loads. These details help deliver the site, diagnose faults, measure use, and protect the service. They may include:
- The visitor's Internet Protocol address
- Browser name and version
- Device category and operating system
- Pages viewed and approximate time spent on them
- The referring website, when one is supplied
- Date and time stamps for requests
Cookies and Similar Tools
Cookies may be used to understand how visitors move through the site and to support analytics or advertising. A browser can reject or delete cookies. Blocking them may cause some functions, preferences, measurements, or advertisements to work differently.
Reasons We Use Information
Information is processed only for practical site operations and related services. Its uses include:
- Keeping pages available, responsive, and secure
- Sending search requests to the appropriate search partner
- Learning which Butte County record-access pages help visitors
- Finding, investigating, and correcting technical problems
- Displaying advertising that may reflect a visitor's interests
Privacy on Linked Services
Links may lead to Butte County jail and booking resources, the Sheriff's Office, California court or corrections portals, VINELink, other government services, and third-party search tools. Once a visitor leaves this site, the destination's privacy policy and data practices control. Butte County Recent Arrests does not set those outside practices.
Advertising partners may use their own technologies to measure visits across more than one website or select interest-based advertisements. That processing takes place on the partner's systems, not on systems controlled by Butte County Recent Arrests.
Parties That May Receive Data
Personal information is not sold. Limited information may still be provided to service providers or authorities when needed for the functions described here:
- Search partners that process a visitor's query
- Analytics providers that measure site use
- Advertising networks that deliver or measure ads
- Law-enforcement agencies or government bodies acting under a valid legal order
Steps Taken to Protect Data
Reasonable, standard safeguards are used to protect information from improper access, loss, or misuse. No website, network, storage platform, or internet transmission can be guaranteed completely secure. Butte County Recent Arrests therefore cannot promise that a security incident will never occur.
Visitors Younger Than Eighteen
The site is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. A parent or guardian who believes a minor submitted personal information may use the Contact Us page to request review and deletion.
Your Information Choices
Subject to applicable law and reasonable identity verification, a visitor may ask to exercise the following choices:
- Receive a copy of personal information held about them
- Correct personal information that is inaccurate
- Request deletion of personal information
- Opt out of processing where an applicable right permits it
These requests concern data controlled by Butte County Recent Arrests. Requests involving a Butte County agency, California court, search partner, or advertising provider must be directed to that organization.
Changes to This Notice
This privacy notice may be revised as site practices, providers, or legal requirements change. A revised version takes effect when it is posted here and will show an updated effective date where appropriate.
