Information You Enter
Search Terms
When you type a name, county, state, or other lookup detail into a search tool, that request 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 contact message, the message and reply details may be kept long enough to respond and manage the request. Those messages are not shared outside the organization except when a legal requirement applies.
Information Collected Automatically
Like many websites, this site may receive technical information when a page loads or a visitor moves through the site.
- Internet Protocol address.
- Browser type and version.
- Device category and operating system.
- Pages viewed and approximate time spent on them.
- Referring website, when one is available.
- Dates and times of visits.
Cookies
Cookies and similar tools may be used to understand how visitors use the site and to support analytics or advertising. You can block or delete cookies through browser settings, although some site features or partner tools may behave differently when cookies are disabled.
How the Information Is Used
- To keep pages operating reliably and loading efficiently.
- To pass search requests to the appropriate partner service.
- To understand which San Miguel County jail, court, mugshot, and facility pages visitors find useful.
- To diagnose errors, broken links, and other technical problems.
- To display advertising that may be more relevant to visitor interests.
Links Leaving This Site
Pages may link to San Miguel County Sheriff's Office resources, the San Miguel County open-records form, Colorado Judicial Branch dockets, CDOC, VINELink Colorado, BOP, ICE, and third-party search services. After you leave this site, the linked website's own privacy policy controls what it collects and how it uses that information.
Advertising partners may also use their own systems to recognize activity across different websites for interest-based advertising. That tracking is handled by those partners, not by a San Miguel County government office.
Who May Receive Information
Personal information is not sold as a standalone list. It may be made available to the following parties when needed for the site to function or when the law requires it.
- Search partners that process lookup requests.
- Analytics providers that measure site usage.
- Advertising networks and related ad-technology vendors.
- Law enforcement, courts, or government bodies when a valid subpoena, court order, warrant, or other legal order requires disclosure.
Security Practices
Reasonable technical and administrative safeguards are used to protect information handled through the site. No internet-connected system can be guaranteed to be completely secure, so this notice does not promise breach-proof protection.
