Information You Submit
Search terms
A name, place, or other search term entered in a partner's search box is sent to the third-party provider that operates that tool. California Recent Arrests does not store or log those search terms on its own system.
Messages to the site
If you send an email or use a contact form, the message and reply details may be kept so we can respond. We do not share those messages outside the organization unless a legal duty requires it.

How Information Is Used
California Recent Arrests does not make decisions about people or invite harassment or confrontation. The information described above may be used to:
- Keep the site available and improve page speed
- Send a search request to the partner that operates the search tool
- Understand which pages visitors use
- Find and repair technical problems
- Show advertising that may relate to visitor interests
Outside Sites and Services
Links may lead to county rosters, sheriff or corrections pages, court and government portals, county information sites, and outside search services. Once you leave this site, the other provider's privacy policy and practices apply.
Advertising partners may also use their own systems to track activity across websites for targeted ads. That tracking is governed by their policies, not by this site.
Who May Receive Information
We do not sell personal information. Information may be processed by the following types of service or authority:
- Search partners that receive queries entered in their tools
- Analytics providers that measure site use
- Advertising networks that deliver ads
- Law enforcement or government agencies acting under a valid legal order
Security Practices
Reasonable, standard safeguards are used to protect information. No system connected to the internet is fully secure, so we cannot promise that data will never be exposed or accessed without permission.
Visitors Under 18
This site is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If a minor has sent information to us, a parent or guardian may contact the site operator and ask for it to be removed.
