Information Provided by Visitors
Search Terms
When a visitor enters a name, location, or related term into a search tool, that query is sent to the third-party provider that powers the tool. This site does not keep its own separate log of those search terms.
Messages
If a visitor sends an email or contact message, the information in that message may be kept long enough to review and respond. It is not shared outside the organization except when required by law, subpoena, court order, or another valid legal process.
Information Collected Automatically
Basic technical data may be collected when a page loads or when a visitor moves through the site.
- Internet Protocol address.
- Browser type and version.
- Device category and operating system.
- Pages viewed and approximate time spent on pages.
- Referring website, when one is supplied by the browser.
- Date and time stamps.
Cookies
Cookies and similar tools may be used to understand traffic patterns, remember browser-level preferences, measure performance, and support advertising. A visitor can block cookies in browser settings, although some functions may behave differently after cookies are disabled.
How Information Is Used
- To keep the website available, readable, and responsive.
- To pass search requests to the appropriate partner service.
- To understand which Adams County jail, court, CDOC, BOP, and ICE pages visitors use most.
- To diagnose broken links, display problems, and other technical issues.
- To display advertising that may be based on general visitor interests.
Outside Websites and Public Records Portals
This site links to sheriff records pages, jail rosters, Colorado Judicial Branch resources, CDOC, BOP, ICE, VINELink, and third-party search services. After a visitor leaves this site, the privacy policy and data practices of the destination site control.
Advertising partners may use their own systems to recognize activity across websites and serve targeted ads. That tracking is handled on their platforms, not through an official Adams County government system.
