Information You Submit
Search Terms
When a visitor enters a name, county, or other search detail into a search tool, that request is sent to the outside provider operating the tool. This site does not keep its own separate log of those search terms.
Messages
If you send an email or contact message, we may keep the information long enough to review and respond. We do not share those messages outside the organization unless a valid legal requirement applies.
Information Collected by the Site
Like most websites, this site may collect technical details when pages load, including:
- IP address.
- Browser name and version.
- Device category and operating system.
- Pages viewed and approximate time spent on them.
- The referring website, when one is available.
- Date and time stamps.
Cookies
Cookies and similar tools may be used to understand traffic, measure page use, support advertising, and keep the site working properly. You can block cookies through your browser settings, although some features or partner tools may behave differently.
How Information Is Used
- To keep the site available, readable, and responsive.
- To route search requests to the correct partner service.
- To understand which Daviess County custody and records pages are useful.
- To diagnose errors, abuse, or technical problems.
- To display advertising that may be related to a visitor's interests.
Outside Websites and Public-Record Portals
This site links to sheriff pages, Indiana VINE, Indiana DOC, MyCase, federal locators, ICE ODLS, and third-party search services. Once you leave this site, the privacy rules of that outside website apply. Indiana public-record access, including requests made to local offices, may also be governed by the Indiana Access to Public Records Act and agency-specific procedures.
Advertising partners may use their own systems to measure visits across websites or tailor ads. That tracking occurs through their platforms, not through a county or court office.
Who May Receive Information
We do not sell personal data as a standalone product. Information may be available to the following parties when needed to operate the site or comply with law:
- Search partners that process submitted queries.
- Analytics providers that measure site performance.
- 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 for this site, but no internet-connected service can be guaranteed against every error, intrusion, outage, or unauthorized access.
