Privacy Policy

This policy describes information collected through Sarasota County Recent Arrests, how it is used, and when service providers or authorities may receive it. Using the site indicates acceptance of these practices.

Information You Submit

A name or location entered in a search box is sent directly to the third-party provider operating that tool. We do not store or log those search terms on our systems.

Messages sent through email or a contact form are retained as needed to respond. We do not share them outside the organization unless the law requires disclosure.


Automatic Technical Data

Routine logs and analytics may collect:

  • IP address
  • Browser name and version
  • Device type and operating system
  • Pages viewed and time spent
  • Referring page, when available
  • Access timestamps

Cookies help measure use and remember technical preferences. A browser can reject them, though some features may work differently.


How Information Is Used

  • Operate and improve performance
  • Send searches to the selected provider
  • Understand which pages help visitors
  • Detect and repair technical faults
  • Display advertising that may reflect interests

Links and Advertising

Links may lead to Sarasota County jail records, police and sheriff pages, Florida corrections resources, government portals, and outside search tools. Once a visitor leaves, the destination’s privacy policy controls.

Advertising providers may use their own systems to measure activity across sites and select ads. That processing occurs under their policies, not this one.


Who May Receive Data

We do not sell personal information. Limited data may reach:

  • Search partners that process submitted queries
  • Analytics vendors
  • Advertising networks
  • Law enforcement or government bodies acting under a valid legal order

Florida public records held by agencies are governed by Chapter 119, Florida Statutes, and applicable exemptions. This private site does not control an agency’s response.


Security Practices

Reasonable technical and organizational safeguards are used. No internet-connected service can promise complete security, and we cannot guarantee that a breach will never occur.


Visitors Under Eighteen

This service is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under 18. A parent or guardian may use the Contact page to request deletion if a minor submitted information.


Your Privacy Choices

Subject to applicable law, a person may:

  • Ask for a copy of personal data we hold
  • Request correction of inaccurate data
  • Ask that qualifying data be erased
  • Opt out of certain processing where available

These rights concern data held by this private site, not records maintained by SCSO, Sarasota ClerkNet, or another agency.


Policy Revisions

We may revise this policy as practices or legal duties change. A revised version becomes effective when posted with its new effective date.
