Franklin Privacy Notice

This notice explains what data may be collected when you use this site, why it is used, and when it may be shared. By continuing to browse or use a search tool, you accept these practices.

Information You Submit

Search Terms

A name or location entered in a search box goes to the third-party provider that operates the tool. This site does not keep or log those search terms on its own systems.

Messages

We retain email or contact-form messages as needed to respond. They are not shared outside the organization unless the law requires it.


Technical Data Collected

Standard server and analytics systems may record these details when a page loads:

  • Internet Protocol address
  • Browser name and version
  • Device type and operating system
  • Pages viewed and time spent
  • Referring page, when available
  • Date and time stamps

Cookies

Cookies help measure how visitors use the site. You can block them in browser settings, although some functions may then behave differently.


How Data Is Used

  • Operate and improve site performance
  • Route queries to the selected search provider
  • Measure which guides are useful
  • Diagnose technical faults
  • Display advertising that may reflect interests

Outside Websites and Advertising

Links lead to sheriff and corrections pages, release-record portals, government systems, and outside search tools. Their privacy policies control after you leave this site.

Advertising partners may track activity across sites for targeted ads. That processing occurs on their systems.


Parties That May Receive Data

We do not sell personal data. Limited information may reach:

  • Search partners that process queries
  • Analytics providers
  • Advertising networks
  • Law-enforcement or government bodies acting under a valid legal order

Security Measures

We use standard safeguards, but no internet-connected service can be guaranteed breach-proof or fully secure.
