Data You Give Us Directly
Search Queries
A name or location entered in a search box is sent directly to the outside provider that operates that tool. The provider processes the query and supplies its result. We do not keep a separate log or stored copy of those search terms.
Messages and Contact Submissions
We retain an email or other direct message as needed to answer it. It remains within our organization unless disclosure is required by law.
Data We Gather Automatically
When a page loads, the server may automatically receive standard technical and usage details:
- Page-view dates and times
- Your device's IP address
- Browser name and version
- Device category and operating system
- Pages viewed and approximate time spent
- The referring website, when one exists
Cookies and Analytics
Cookies are small files placed on a device. We and our analytics services use them to understand traffic in aggregate, including popular pages and where visits end. Browser controls can block cookies, although doing so may change how parts of the website function.
What We Do With This Data
- Routing a submitted search to the provider that handles it
- Maintaining site availability, speed, and security
- Diagnosing errors and other technical problems
- Measuring which resources visitors use
- Displaying advertising that may reflect visitor interests
No Criminal-Record Data on File
We do not compile, maintain, or sell a database of personal criminal records. San Juan County material is described only to help readers locate the Sheriff's Office, Utah courts, the Bureau of Criminal Identification, and the Utah Sex, Kidnap, and Child Abuse Offender Registry. Visitor information is not assembled into a third-party dossier or consumer report. This website is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act.
Third-Party Search Partners
Outside companies operate the search tools embedded on some pages. Their privacy terms, retention choices, and sharing rules govern information submitted to them. We cannot control those practices. Read the provider's policy before running a search.
Links to Other Websites
Links may lead to the San Juan County Sheriff, Utah court systems, state agencies, legal resources, or outside search providers. Once you leave this website, the destination's policy controls. Review it before giving that service personal information.
Advertising partners may use their own systems to follow activity across websites and select targeted advertisements.
Who Might See Your Data
Personal data is not sold. Limited information may still be available to:
- Analytics providers measuring traffic and performance
- Search partners receiving a query submitted to their tool
- Advertising networks serving content on the pages
- Government or law-enforcement authorities acting under a valid legal demand
How We Protect Your Data
Reasonable security measures protect the information we hold. No internet service can guarantee perfect protection, so we cannot promise that unauthorized access will never occur.
Users Under 18
The website is intended for adults, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone younger than 18. If we learn that a minor supplied such data, we will delete it.
Your Data Rights
Rights may vary by residence and applicable law. Utah's Government Records Access and Management Act governs public records held by government agencies, not this private site. Utah Code Section 53-10-108 and Section 13-45-601 separately limit criminal-history dissemination and certain consumer-reporting uses. Subject to applicable law, you may:
- Request correction of inaccurate personal data
- Ask what personal information we retain about you
- Object to certain processing where the law provides that choice
- Request deletion when no legal reason requires retention
Updates to This Policy
This policy may be revised as practices or legal requirements change. A new version will appear here with its updated effective date.
