Information You Submit
Search Terms
When you type a name, county, state, or similar search term into a third-party search tool on this site, that query is sent to the provider that operates the tool. This site does not keep its own separate log of those search terms.
Messages
If you send an email or contact message, we use the information in that message to read it, respond, and handle the issue raised. We do not share those messages outside the organization unless disclosure is required by law, court order, or another valid legal process.
Information Collected Automatically
Like most websites, this site may collect basic technical information when a page loads or when a visitor moves through the site.
- IP address.
- Browser name and version.
- Device type and operating system.
- Pages visited and approximate time spent on those pages.
- Referring website, when one is passed to us.
- Date and time stamps.
Cookies
Cookies and similar tools may be used to understand traffic patterns, keep the site working, and measure which La Plata County records pages are useful. You can block cookies through your browser settings, but some features or partner services may not behave the same way after cookies are disabled.
How Information Is Used
- To keep the site available, readable, and fast.
- To pass search requests to the partner service selected by the visitor.
- To understand which jail, court, VINE, CDOC, BOP, and ICE pages visitors use most.
- To diagnose broken pages, security issues, and other technical problems.
- To show advertising that may be based on general interests or browsing activity.
Outside Websites
This site links to resources such as the La Plata County Sheriff's Office, forms.lpcgov.org, VINE, CDOC Offender Search, Colorado Judicial Docket Search, BOP, ICE, and third-party search providers. Once you leave this site, the privacy policy and data practices of the destination site control your use of that service.
Advertising partners may use their own systems to recognize activity across different sites for interest-based advertising. Those activities take place on the partner's systems, not on an official La Plata County system.
Who May Receive Information
We do not sell personal messages submitted through this site. Information may still be handled by the following categories of recipients when needed for site operation or legal compliance.
- Search partners that process submitted lookup queries.
- Analytics services used to measure site traffic and performance.
- Advertising networks used to display ads.
- Law enforcement, courts, regulators, or other government bodies when a valid legal order requires disclosure.
Security
Reasonable security practices are used to protect site information, but no internet-connected website, email system, ad network, analytics tool, or search partner can be guaranteed breach-proof.
