Information We Receive
Search terms entered in a third-party search box pass to that provider, not to an official San Benito County system. If you send us a message, we receive the contact details and text you choose to include. Servers and analytics tools may automatically record technical data such as an IP address, browser type, device type, referring page, pages viewed, and approximate location.
Cookies and Similar Tools
Cookies and related technologies may remember settings, measure site use, support security, and help analytics or advertising services operate. Browser controls can reject or remove cookies, though parts of the site may then work differently.
How Data Is Used
Information may be used to operate and protect the site, answer messages, understand which San Benito County record resources readers use, correct technical problems, measure traffic, and improve content. We do not use contact messages to alter an official arrest, jail, court, or booking record because this site does not hold those records.
When Data May Be Shared
Search partners receive queries submitted through their tools. Analytics services and advertising networks may receive technical or cookie data needed for their services. Information may also be disclosed when required by a valid subpoena, court order, or other lawful demand from law enforcement, or when reasonably needed to protect rights, safety, and site integrity. We do not sell an official San Benito County arrest database because none is hosted here.
Links Beyond This Site
Links may lead to the San Benito County Sheriff, Hollister Police, California courts, the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, federal locators, or private services. Those sites set their own privacy and data-retention rules. Review the policy on the destination before submitting personal information.
Security and Retention
Reasonable safeguards are used, but no website or transmission method can promise perfect security. Information is kept only as long as reasonably needed for the purpose described, legal compliance, dispute handling, or system protection.
Visitors Under Eighteen
This site is not intended for anyone under 18, and we do not knowingly collect personal data from minors. A parent or guardian who believes a minor submitted information may contact us to request review and deletion.
Your Privacy Choices
Depending on applicable law, a visitor may ask to access, correct, or delete personal information supplied directly to us, or object to certain processing. California residents may have rights under state privacy law. These requests cannot change records held by the Sheriff, jail, police, courts, CDCR, or another government custodian. Use the Get in Touch page for site-related requests and contact the record holder for an official file.
Notice Updates
This privacy notice may change as site practices or legal duties change. A revised notice takes effect when posted here.
