Information You Submit
A name, location, or other term entered into a search box is sent to the independent provider that operates that tool. This site does not keep or log those search terms on its own systems. The provider’s privacy terms govern what happens after submission.
If you send an email or another direct message, we may retain the information needed to read and answer it. Messages are not shared outside the organization unless doing so is required by law.
Technical Information Collected
Ordinary web operations can record limited technical and usage information when a page loads.
- Internet Protocol address
- Browser name and version
- Device type and operating system
- Pages viewed and time spent on them
- Referring page or site, when available
- Date and time stamps
Cookies may help measure how visitors use the guide. Browser controls can reject or delete cookies, but blocking them may change how some site features work.
How Information Supports the Site
Collected information is used for limited operational and service purposes.
- Operate the site and maintain reasonable performance
- Send a search request to the selected partner
- Understand which pages readers find useful
- Detect errors and troubleshoot technical problems
- Display advertising that may reflect a visitor’s interests
External Sites and Advertising
This guide links to sheriff and police pages, PCCF information, court resources, state and federal locators, and third-party search services. Once a visitor follows a link, the destination’s privacy policy and systems apply.
Some advertising providers may use their own technology to measure activity across websites and select targeted advertising. That processing occurs on the provider’s systems, not as a Plymouth County public-record function.
Limited Data Sharing
We do not sell personal information. Data may be provided only where it is needed for the site’s operation or required by law.
- Search partners that process a submitted query
- Analytics providers that measure site use
- Advertising networks that deliver advertisements
- Law-enforcement or government authorities responding to a valid legal order
Security Has Limits
Reasonable, standard safeguards are used to protect information under our control. No internet transmission, connected service, or storage method is completely secure, so we cannot promise that a breach will never occur.
Visitors Under Eighteen
This website is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under 18. If a parent or guardian believes a minor submitted information, use the Contact Us page to request its deletion.
Privacy Choices and Requests
Subject to applicable law and our ability to identify the requester and relevant data, a person may ask to exercise these rights.
- Request a copy of personal data we hold
- Ask that inaccurate personal information be corrected
- Request deletion of personal data
- Object to or opt out of certain processing
These requests concern data controlled by this site. An official Plymouth County, Massachusetts, court, or correctional record remains with its government custodian and is governed by the applicable records law.
Changes to This Notice
This privacy notice may be revised as site practices or legal requirements change. A revised version takes effect when it is posted here with an updated effective date.
