Information You Provide
Search Terms
When you type a name, location, or similar query into a partner search tool, that request is sent to the third-party provider operating the tool. This site does not keep its own database of those search terms.
Messages
If you email or submit a message to the site, the information in that message 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 requirement applies.
Information Collected Automatically
Like most websites, this site may receive routine technical information when a page loads.
- Your IP address.
- Your browser type and version.
- Your device type and operating system.
- The pages viewed and approximate time spent on them.
- The referring website, when a browser supplies one.
- Date and time stamps for visits and requests.
Cookies
Cookies may be used to understand site usage, improve page performance, and support advertising or analytics functions. You can block cookies through your browser settings, but some features may work differently after cookies are disabled.
How Information Is Used
- To keep pages available, responsive, and usable.
- To send search requests to the correct partner service.
- To understand which Benton County record guides are being used.
- To detect errors, security issues, and broken pages.
- To display advertising that may be more relevant to visitor interests.
Outside Websites
This site links to sheriff, jail, Arkansas court, Arkansas DOC, federal, immigration, and third-party search resources. Once you follow an outside link, that website's own privacy policy and data practices control.
Advertising partners may use their own systems to recognize activity across websites for ad measurement or interest-based advertising. That tracking occurs through their services, not through an official Benton County or Arkansas government system.
Who May Receive Information
This site does not sell personal information. Information may be available to limited parties that help operate or legally protect the site.
- Search partners that process submitted queries.
- Analytics providers that measure site use.
- Advertising networks that serve or measure ads.
- Law enforcement, courts, or government bodies when a valid legal order requires disclosure.
Security
Reasonable safeguards are used for information handled by the site, but no internet-connected service can be made completely secure. This policy does not promise breach-proof storage or transmission.
Visitors Under 18
This site is intended for adults. It does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If a minor has submitted information, a parent or guardian may request deletion.
Your Data Rights
Arkansas public records are governed by Arkansas FOIA, including Ark. Code Ann. sections 25-19-103 and 25-19-105, but those laws apply to government records held by public offices. For information held by this private site, you may ask to exercise these choices where applicable.
- Request a copy of personal information the site maintains about you.
- Ask that incorrect personal information be corrected.
- Request deletion of personal information where retention is not required.
- Opt out of certain processing when that option is available under applicable law or partner settings.
Policy Updates
