Information You Choose to Provide
Search Terms
When you type a name, location, or similar term into a search tool, 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 email or send a contact message, the message and return address may be kept long enough to review and respond. Those messages are not shared outside the organization unless a valid legal requirement calls for it.
Technical Information Collected Automatically
Standard server, analytics, and advertising systems may collect routine technical details when a page loads.
- IP address.
- Browser name and version.
- Device type and operating system.
- Pages visited and time spent on those pages.
- Referring website, when one is available.
- Date and time stamps.
Cookies
Cookies and similar tools may be used to understand site use, support analytics, and help advertising systems operate. Browser settings can block or delete cookies, although some parts of the site or partner tools may behave differently when cookies are blocked.
How the Information Is Used
- To keep the pages available, secure, and reasonably fast.
- To send search requests to the partner service selected by the visitor.
- To understand which Clark County jail, court, DOC, and facility pages are useful.
- To diagnose broken links, display issues, and other technical problems.
- To show advertising that may be matched to general interests.
Links to Government and Partner Sites
This site links to Clark County jail pages, sheriff and court resources, Washington DOC tools, federal locators, ICE resources, and third-party search services. After you leave this site, the privacy policy of the destination site controls what happens there.
Advertising partners may use their own systems to measure activity across websites and deliver targeted ads. That tracking is handled on their systems, not as an official Clark County or Washington public-record process under RCW 42.56 or Chapter 10.97 RCW.

- Law enforcement, courts, or government bodies when a valid subpoena, court order, or other legal process requires disclosure.
