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

If you email us or send a contact message, we retain the message and contact details needed to respond. We do not share that correspondence outside our organization unless the law requires it.
Automatic Technical Information

- pages viewed and time spent on them;
- the referring website, when supplied; and
- date and time stamps.
Cookies
Cookies may help measure how visitors navigate the site. You can block or remove them in browser settings, although some features may then work differently.
How Information Is Used

Other Websites and Advertising
Links lead to the WCSO roster and records form, Florida corrections resources, government portals, and outside search tools. Once you leave this site, the destination’s privacy policy controls its handling of information.
Advertising partners may use their own systems to recognize activity across websites and select targeted ads. That cross-site processing occurs on their systems, not ours.
Who May Receive Data
We do not sell personal information. Data may be available to:
- search partners that process submitted queries;
- analytics providers that measure site use;
- advertising networks that deliver ads; and
- law-enforcement or government bodies responding to a valid legal order.
Security Measures
We use ordinary administrative and technical safeguards appropriate to a public website. No internet service, storage system, or transmission method is completely secure, so we cannot promise that a breach will never occur.
