Privacy Policy

This policy explains what information may be collected when someone uses Grant County Criminal History, how that information is used, and how outside search or advertising partners may process data. Using the website means accepting the practices described here.

Data You Give Us Directly

Search Queries

When a visitor enters a name, place, or other search term into a search tool, that input is handled by the third-party provider that powers the tool. We do not run the official Arkansas systems and we do not keep a local archive of those search terms.

Messages and Contact Submissions

If someone sends a message to the site, we may keep the message long enough to review it and respond. We do not sell those messages, and we share them only when required by law or necessary to operate the site.

Data We Gather Automatically

Like most websites, our servers and service providers may collect technical details when a page loads:

  • IP address
  • Browser type and version
  • Device type and operating system
  • Pages viewed and approximate time on page
  • Referring website, when one is available
  • Date and time of each visit

Cookies and Analytics

Cookies and analytics tools help measure traffic, diagnose technical problems, and understand which pages visitors use. Browser settings can block or delete cookies, although some site features may not work the same way afterward.

What We Do With This Data

  • Operate and secure the website
  • Send search requests to the provider that runs the search box
  • Measure page performance and visitor patterns
  • Find broken pages, slow loads, and technical errors
  • Support advertising or referral features that keep the site available

No Criminal-Record Data on File

This website does not maintain a database of Grant County criminal records, arrest records, warrants, jail records, or sex offender registry profiles. It publishes general routing information for official sources such as Grant County courts, the Grant County Sheriff's Office, Sheridan Police Department, the Arkansas State Police repository, Arkansas Department of Corrections tools, and the Arkansas Sex Offender Registry / Arkansas Sex Offender Notification System. We are not a consumer reporting agency, and visitor data is not assembled into consumer reports.

Third-Party Search Partners

Search boxes on the site are operated by outside companies. Information entered into those boxes is processed under the partner's privacy policy and terms, not this policy. Those partners may set their own retention periods, prices, account rules, and matching methods.

Links to Other Websites

Pages may link to official court portals, sheriff or police pages, Arkansas agency sites, federal sites, legal resources, and partner tools. Once a visitor leaves this website, the destination site's privacy policy and security practices control that visit.

Advertising partners may also use cookies or similar technologies to measure ad delivery or show interest-based ads. That processing occurs on their systems.

Who Might See Your Data

We do not sell personal data. Limited information may be handled by:

  • Search providers that process tool inputs
  • Analytics vendors that measure site traffic
  • Advertising networks that place or measure ads
  • Hosting and security providers that keep the site available
  • Government or law-enforcement entities when a valid legal order requires disclosure

How We Protect Your Data

We use ordinary security practices for a public informational website. No internet service can guarantee perfect security, so visitors should avoid sending sensitive personal details unless they are sure the recipient needs them.

Users Under 18

This website is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children or teenagers under 18. If such information is brought to our attention, we will take reasonable steps to delete it.

Your Data Rights

Depending on where a visitor lives, privacy and consumer-protection laws may provide rights to access, correct, delete, or limit use of personal data. At a minimum, a visitor may:

  • Ask what information we have kept
  • Request correction of inaccurate information
  • Ask us to delete information when the law allows
  • Opt out of certain processing where an opt-out right applies

Updates to This Policy

We may revise this policy when site operations, partners, or legal requirements change. The updated version will appear on this page with a new date.

Effective date: July 16, 2026
