Information You Provide
Search Terms
When a visitor types a name, location, or other search term into a partner search box, that request is sent to the third-party provider that operates the tool. This site does not keep its own separate log of those submitted search terms.
Messages and Contact Requests
If a visitor emails or submits a message, the message and contact details may be kept long enough to read, route, and answer it. Those messages are not shared outside this operation unless disclosure is required by law.
Information Collected Automatically
Like most websites, this site may receive technical data when a page loads. That data can include:
- IP address.
- Browser type and version.
- Device type and operating system.
- Pages viewed and time spent on those pages.
- Referring website, when available.
- Date and time stamps.
Cookies
Cookies may be used to understand site traffic, remember basic preferences, and measure how visitors use pages about SEORJ, ODRC, court records, and related resources. A browser can block cookies, but some features or measurements may work differently when cookies are disabled.
How the Information Is Used
- To keep the website available, readable, and reasonably fast.
- To send search requests to the appropriate partner service.
- To understand which Meigs County inmate-record pages are useful to visitors.
- To diagnose broken links, errors, and other technical problems.
- To support advertising that may be based on general visitor interests.
Links Away From This Site
Pages may link to jail rosters, sheriff and corrections websites, Ohio public-record resources such as ORC 149.43, court portals, federal locators, VINE, and third-party search tools. Once a visitor leaves this site, the privacy policy of the destination website controls that visit.
Advertising partners may use their own systems to recognize visits across websites and show interest-based ads. That tracking, when it occurs, is handled on the partner's systems.
Who May Receive Information
Personal information is not sold as a standalone product. It may be available to limited parties when needed for site operation or legal compliance.
- Search partners that process submitted search queries.
- Analytics providers that measure traffic and page performance.
- Advertising networks that support ads or referral tools.
- Law enforcement, courts, or government bodies when a valid legal order requires disclosure.
Security Practices
Reasonable technical and administrative safeguards are used to protect information. No internet-connected website can promise complete security, and this policy does not guarantee that data will be immune from every error, attack, or unauthorized access attempt.
Users Under 18
This website is intended for adults. It does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If a minor has submitted personal information, a parent or guardian may request deletion.

Policy Updates
This privacy policy may be revised from time to time. Updates will be posted on this page with a new effective date or revised text.
