Privacy Notice

This notice explains what information may be collected while you use this site, how it is used, and when it may be shared. By continuing to use Cape Girardeau County Recent Arrests, you accept the practices described below.

Information You Submit

Terms Entered in Search

When you enter a name or location in a search box, that query is sent to the outside provider that operates the tool. This site does not keep or log those search terms on its own systems. The provider’s rules govern its collection and handling.

Messages Sent to Us

If you email us or use a contact form, we retain the message and contact details needed to respond. We do not share that correspondence outside the organization unless disclosure is required by law.


Technical Data Collected Automatically

Basic technical and usage details may be recorded when a page loads. They help show whether the site works as expected and how it is used.

  • Your Internet Protocol address.
  • Your browser name and version.
  • Your device type and operating system.
  • The pages viewed and time spent on them.
  • The referring website, when one is supplied.
  • The date and time of the request.

Cookie Use

Cookies may help measure visits and understand how readers move through the site. You can block cookies through your browser settings, although some functions may then work differently.


Reasons We Use Data

Collected data is used for defined operational purposes.

  • To keep pages available and responsive.
  • To send search requests to the selected partner service.
  • To understand which pages readers find useful.
  • To diagnose and correct technical faults.
  • To display advertising that may reflect visitor interests.

Websites Beyond Our Control

Links may lead to jail rosters, booking feeds, sheriff and corrections pages, government portals, and independent search tools. Once you leave this site, the destination’s own privacy policy controls its practices.

Advertising partners may use their systems to measure activity across multiple sites and select interest-based ads. That tracking occurs under the partner’s controls, not as a database maintained here.


Parties Receiving Information

We do not sell personal information. Limited data may be provided to:

  • Search partners that process submitted queries.
  • Analytics providers that measure site use.
  • Advertising networks that serve or assess ads.
  • Law-enforcement agencies or public bodies responding to a valid legal order.

Safeguards and Security

Reasonable, standard safeguards are used to protect information. Every service connected to the internet carries risk, however, so no system or transmission can be promised to be fully secure or immune from a breach.


Visitors Younger Than Eighteen

This site is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under 18. If a minor has submitted information, contact us and request its deletion.


Your Privacy Choices

Subject to applicable law and verification, you may:

  • Ask for a copy of personal data we hold about you.
  • Request correction of inaccurate personal information.
  • Ask that eligible personal data be erased.
  • Opt out of certain processing where that choice is available.

Changes to This Notice

We may revise this privacy notice as practices or legal duties change. A revised version takes effect when it is posted here with its updated effective date.
