Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains what Mariposa County Inmate Population collects, how that information is used, and when it may be shared. It applies to visits to this private reference site, including searches that route to partner tools and links to official Mariposa County, California, state, and federal resources. Using the site means you accept these practices.

Information You Provide

Search Terms

When you enter a name, county, or location into a search tool, that query is sent to the third-party provider that operates the tool. Mariposa County Inmate Population does not keep its own log of those search terms or store them as official records.

Messages

If you email us or send a message through a contact feature, we use the information you provide to read the request and respond. We do not share contact messages outside our organization unless a valid legal requirement makes disclosure necessary.


Automatic Site Data

Like most websites, this site may collect routine technical data when a page loads. That data helps operate the site, measure use, and detect errors.

  • IP address.
  • Browser type and browser version.
  • Device type and operating system.
  • Pages viewed and time spent on those pages.
  • Referring website, when one is available.
  • Date and time stamps.

Cookies

Cookies and similar tools may be used to understand site traffic and remember basic preferences. You can block cookies in your browser settings, but some features or measurements may work differently after cookies are disabled.


How Data Is Used

  • Keep pages available, stable, and reasonably fast.
  • Route search requests to the correct partner service.
  • Understand which Mariposa County record pages are useful.
  • Find broken links, errors, and technical problems.
  • Display advertising that may be based on general interests.

Other Websites

This site links to official jail pages, the Mariposa County NextRequest portal, California Public Records Act resources, CDCR CIRIS, VINE, the BOP locator, ICE ODLS, court portals, and third-party search tools. Once you leave this site, the privacy policy and terms of the destination site control that visit.

Advertising partners may use their own systems to measure ads or show interest-based ads across websites. That tracking happens under their policies, not under the custody or records policies of Mariposa County or any government office.


Who May Receive Data

We do not sell personal data. Some information may still be processed by limited outside parties that help operate the site or comply with law.

  • Search partners that receive search terms submitted through their tools.
  • Analytics providers that measure traffic and page performance.
  • Advertising networks that serve or measure ads.
  • Law enforcement, courts, or government bodies when a valid legal order requires it.

Security Practices

Reasonable security practices are used to protect information handled by this site. No internet-connected service can be made completely secure, so we cannot promise that unauthorized access, outages, or errors will never occur.


Users Under 18

This site is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If a minor has submitted information, contact us so it can be reviewed and deleted where appropriate.


Your Data Rights

  • Ask for a copy of personal data we hold about you.
  • Ask us to correct inaccurate information.
  • Request deletion where retention is not required.
  • Opt out of certain processing where applicable law gives that right.

Policy Updates

This Privacy Policy may be revised as the site, legal requirements, partner tools, or advertising practices change. Updated terms will be posted on this page with a new effective date when needed.
