San Diego Privacy Notice

This notice explains what San Diego County Recent Arrests may collect, how that data is used, and when it may be shared. Using the site means accepting these practices. Independent search providers apply their own privacy terms.

Information You Submit

Terms Entered in Search

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

Messages Sent to Us

An email or contact message is retained as needed to answer it. We do not share that correspondence outside the organization unless the law requires disclosure.


Technical Visit Data

Standard logs and analytics 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

Browser Cookies

Cookies help measure how visitors use the site. A browser can reject them, although some functions may then work differently.


Reasons for Data Use

  • Operate the site and improve its speed
  • Send queries to the selected search partner
  • Measure which pages are useful
  • Find and repair technical faults
  • Display advertising that may reflect visitor interests

Privacy Beyond This Site

Links lead to jail rosters, sheriff and corrections pages, court portals, official request systems, and independent search tools. Once a visitor follows a link, that destination’s privacy policy governs.

Advertising partners may measure activity across different sites to select ads. That processing occurs on the partner’s systems, not this site’s records.


Limited Data Recipients

We do not sell personal information. Data may be handled by:

  • Search partners processing a submitted query
  • Analytics providers
  • Advertising networks
  • Government bodies acting under a valid legal order

Reasonable Security Measures

We use customary security practices, but no internet-connected system is completely secure. We cannot promise that a breach will never occur.


Visitors Under Eighteen

This site is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect information from anyone under 18. Contact us to request deletion if a minor submitted personal data.


Your Privacy Choices

  • Ask for a copy of data we hold
  • Request correction of inaccurate data
  • Ask that eligible data be erased
  • Opt out of certain processing where the law provides that right
