Information You Provide
Search Terms
When you type a name, location, or other query into a search tool, that query is sent to the third-party provider operating the tool. This site does not keep its own separate log of those search terms.
Messages
If you send an email or message, the information you include may be kept long enough to read it, respond, and maintain ordinary business records. It is not shared outside the organization unless a valid legal duty requires it.
Information Collected Automatically
Basic technical information may be collected when pages load or when site features run.
- IP address.
- Browser name and version.
- Device type and operating system.
- Pages viewed and time spent on those pages.
- Referring website, when one is provided.
- Date and time stamps.
Cookies
Cookies and similar tools may help measure how visitors use the site and support advertising or analytics. Browser settings can block or delete cookies, though some features may behave differently when they are disabled.
How Information Is Used
- To keep the site available, readable, and fast.

Outside Links
This site links to sheriff pages, jail rosters, Missouri court resources, corrections locators, federal tools, and third-party search services. Once you leave this site, the privacy policy of the destination website controls how your information is handled.
Advertising partners may use their own technology to measure activity or show interest-based ads across websites. That tracking occurs on their systems, not as official Shannon County government activity.

- Search partners that process submitted queries.
- Analytics providers that measure traffic and usage.
- Advertising networks that serve or measure ads.
- Law enforcement, courts, or government bodies when a valid legal order requires disclosure.
Security
Reasonable security practices are used, but no internet-connected website can be guaranteed breach-proof. Visitors should avoid sending sensitive personal facts unless they are necessary for a specific message.
