Information You Submit
Search Terms
When you type a name, location, or other search detail into a search tool, that request may be sent to the third-party provider that powers the tool. This site does not keep its own database of those search terms or store them as official Tuolumne County records.
Messages
If you email us or send a contact message, we may keep the name, address, message text, and any reply history long enough to respond and manage the request. We do not share those messages outside the organization unless a valid legal requirement applies.
Information Collected Automatically
Basic technical data may be collected when a page loads. This helps measure site use, detect errors, and keep the service working.
- IP address.
- Browser name and version.
- Device type and operating system.
- Pages viewed and time spent on pages.
- Referring website, when one is available.
- Date and time stamps.
Cookies
Cookies and similar tools may be used to understand visitor behavior, remember basic settings, support analytics, and serve advertising. Most browsers let users block or delete cookies. Some features may work differently if cookies are disabled.
How Information Is Used
- To keep the site available, readable, and reasonably fast.
- To send search requests to the correct partner service.
- To understand which Tuolumne County pages are useful to visitors.
- To diagnose broken links, display issues, and technical errors.
- To show advertising that may be based on general interests.
Links Away From This Site
This site links to sheriff pages, jail and custody resources, court portals, CDCR CIRIS, VINELink, federal locators, ICE resources, and third-party search tools. After a visitor follows an outside link, the other site's privacy notice and data practices apply.
Advertising partners may use their own systems to recognize a browser across websites and deliver interest-based ads. Their collection and processing occur on their systems, not inside an official Tuolumne County record system.
Who May Receive Data
We do not sell personal information. Limited data may still be shared with service providers or disclosed when the law requires it.
- Search partners that process search queries.
- Analytics vendors that measure site traffic.
- Advertising networks that help display ads.
- Law enforcement, courts, regulators, or government bodies when a valid subpoena, court order, warrant, or other legal order requires disclosure.
Security Practices
We use reasonable administrative and technical safeguards for information handled by this site. No internet-connected system can be made fully secure, so we cannot promise that data will never be accessed, lost, or misused.
Users Under 18
This site is meant for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If a minor has submitted information, contact us so the material can be reviewed and deleted where appropriate.
