Information You Enter
Search Terms
If you type a name, location, booking detail, or similar query into a search tool supplied by a partner, that query is sent to the third-party provider that operates the tool. This site does not keep its own separate log of those search terms.
Messages
If you send an email or other message, the information you provide is used to read the request and respond. It is not shared outside the organization unless a legal obligation requires disclosure.
Information Collected Automatically
Like most websites, this site may receive technical details when a page loads. Those details can include:
- The IP address used to reach the site.
- Browser name, settings, and version.
- Device type and operating system.
- Pages viewed and the time spent on them.
- The referring website, when one is passed along.
- Date and time stamps connected to visits.
Cookies
Cookies and similar tools may be used to understand traffic patterns, improve page performance, and support advertising or analytics. You can block cookies in your browser, but some features or partner tools may behave differently when cookies are disabled.
How Information Is Used
- To keep the site available, stable, and reasonably fast.
- To send searches to the correct partner service when a partner tool is used.
- To understand which El Paso County custody and records pages visitors use most.
- To diagnose errors, broken links, and other technical issues.
- To support advertising that may be selected by interest or browsing signals.
Outside Websites
This site links to sheriff pages, jail rosters, Colorado Judicial Branch resources, Colorado Department of Corrections pages, federal locators, VINELink, and third-party search services. Once you leave this site, the destination website's privacy policy controls its own collection and use of information.
Advertising partners may use their own systems to recognize visits across websites and deliver targeted ads. That tracking is handled by those partners, not by the El Paso County Sheriff's Office or any government agency.
Who May Receive Information
Personal information is not sold as a standalone list. It may be made available to limited parties when needed for site operation or when legally required.
- Search partners that process submitted queries.
- Analytics providers that measure site use.
- Advertising networks that serve or measure ads.
- Law enforcement, courts, or government bodies when a valid legal order requires it.
Security
Reasonable technical and administrative safeguards are used to protect information handled by the site. No website, hosting service, email system, or internet-connected tool can be promised as completely secure.
