The essentials

  • Browse and search without creating an account.
  • Page requests can generate technical logs, even without cookies.
  • Information about a roster listing and information about your visit are different; both are explained below.

1. Who we are and what this covers

Jail Roster Hub is an independent public county lookup directory operated by the Jail Roster Hub team in the United States. This policy covers information handled through jailrosterhub.com and privacy-related correspondence. Reach the team at contact@jailrosterhub.com.

We are not a government agency, jail, court, or official records custodian. When you follow a link to a sheriff’s office, county agency, or another website, that service’s own privacy policy applies.

2. Information we receive

When you visit or search

Our hosting and delivery provider, Vercel, may process your IP address, browser and device details, requested URL, referring page, request time, and error or security information to deliver and protect the website. These requests can occur whether or not you allow cookies.

Directory searches use the search page’s URL to carry the text you enter. That text may appear in your browser history, a copied link, and hosting request logs. Roster filtering runs in your browser using data loaded from our site. Avoid entering sensitive information beyond what is needed for your search.

When you contact us

If you send an email, we receive your email address, the name you provide, your message, and any attachments. We use those details to understand and respond to your request. The directory does not require an account, payment details, or a visitor profile.

3. How information is used and shared

Technical information supports page delivery, security, fault diagnosis, and availability. Correspondence helps us answer questions, investigate source errors, and handle correction or privacy requests.

Hosting, delivery, security, and email services may process information involved in providing their services. For hosting information, see Vercel’s Privacy Policy. Providers may process information outside your state or country.

Information may also need to be disclosed in response to a valid legal requirement or to investigate abuse and protect the service. Public roster information is separately described in section 5; it should not be confused with a visitor’s search or private email to us.

4. Cookies and Google services

For cookie categories, provider examples, browser controls, and advertising choices, read our Cookie Policy.

The current directory

Jail Roster Hub uses advertising and analytics services to support the directory and understand aggregate site performance. Google AdSense and Google Analytics may use cookies or similar identifiers when their tags are present. Our own search and roster-filtering code does not create a visitor profile in browser storage. Hosting and security services may still process the request information described above.

We load DM Sans and Space Grotesk through Google Fonts. Your browser contacts Google to download these fonts, which exposes connection information such as your IP address and browser details. Read Google’s Privacy Policy.

If advertising is introduced

Google AdSense and participating advertising partners may use cookies to serve ads based on a visitor’s prior visits to this site or other sites. Google may use the resulting information to personalize ads, measure advertising performance, prevent fraud, and maintain its advertising services. Google Analytics may use cookies and similar technologies to report aggregate visits, page use, and technical performance.

On sites using Google advertising, Google and other vendors can use cookies to select ads based on earlier visits to that site or other websites. Google’s advertising cookies allow it and its partners to personalize those ads. Manage personalization in Google Ads Settings or find participating vendors’ opt-out choices at YourAdChoices. These external settings do not replace a site’s consent controls. See how Google uses information from partner sites.

5. Public roster information

Our county pages reproduce selected information published by official agencies and link to its source. Depending on the source, this may include names, booking identifiers, booking dates, charges, bond information, and custody labels. This information concerns people listed in public records, rather than people visiting our website.

A listing does not establish guilt. Similar names can refer to different people, and a release, correction, or court decision may not yet be reflected in our copy. See our data notes and confirm current information with the responsible agency.

If information about you appears incorrect, outdated, sealed, expunged, or otherwise raises a privacy concern, use the request instructions below. We can review our own pages; we cannot amend an agency’s records or remove copies held by independent websites or search engines.

6. Retention and security

Different information has different retention needs. Technical logs depend on hosting and security settings. Correspondence may be needed while a request is investigated and to document its outcome. Roster snapshots change as sources are refreshed; changes at an official source may take time to reach our pages and cached copies.

Retention also depends on legal requirements, security investigations, and backup cycles. Contact us about a particular message or record; this policy does not promise a single deletion period for all systems.

No online service can guarantee absolute security. Do not send Social Security numbers, passwords, financial information, or unredacted identity documents in an initial email.

7. Your choices and privacy requests

You can use the directory without an account, manage cookies through your browser, and avoid including personal information in shared search links. Blocking cookies does not prevent ordinary connection data from reaching a web server.

Depending on your location and the laws that apply, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or obtain a copy of personal information, or to object to or restrict certain uses. Some rights have exceptions, including where public records or legal obligations are involved. A request is not an automatic guarantee of removal.

To help us review your request

  1. Email contact@jailrosterhub.com with the subject “Privacy request.”
  2. Include the exact page URL, county and state, and what you want us to review.
  3. If available, link to an updated official record or explain the supporting evidence. Remove unrelated sensitive details.

We may ask for limited additional information to locate the record or verify that you are entitled to make the request. We will explain what is needed. An agency record may also need to be addressed directly with its official custodian.

8. Children’s privacy

This directory is intended for a general adult audience and is not designed to solicit information from children under 13. If you believe a child has sent personal information to us, or a roster page contains information about a minor that needs review, contact us with the relevant details.

9. Changes to this policy

We will revise this page when our information practices change and update the date at the top. New advertising or analytics services will require a review of these disclosures and any applicable consent requirements.

10. Contact us
