Privacy Policy

This policy describes the data collected during a visit, why it is used, and the limited situations in which another party may receive it. By using the Kane County Criminal History website, you agree to these practices.

Data You Give Us Directly

Search Queries

A name or place entered in a search tool is sent to the third-party provider that operates that tool. The provider processes the query and supplies its response. We do not keep or log those terms on our systems.

Messages and Contact Submissions

An email sent to us may be retained so we can respond. It remains within our organization unless disclosure is required by law.

Data We Gather Automatically

Our servers receive basic technical details when a page loads:

  • Page-view times and time spent on pages
  • Device type and operating system
  • IP address
  • Referring site, when available
  • Browser type and version
  • Pages viewed

Cookies and Analytics

Cookies are small files saved on a device. They and analytics services help combine traffic data, such as popular pages and exit points. Browser controls can block cookies, although some site functions may then work differently.

What We Do With This Data

  • Route a query to the selected search partner
  • Find and repair technical faults
  • Operate and improve site performance
  • Measure which pages visitors use
  • Display advertising that may reflect visitor interests

No Criminal-Record Data on File

We do not keep, compile, or sell a database of personal criminal records. The site explains how to reach Kane County Sheriff, Utah courts, Utah BCI, and the Utah Sex, Kidnap, and Child Abuse Offender Notification and Registration website. We are not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, and visitor data is not assembled into a consumer report or third-party criminal file.

Third-Party Search Partners

Outside companies run the search boxes. Their privacy policies govern submitted queries, retention, and sharing. We do not set those practices, so review the provider's terms before entering information.

Links to Other Websites

Links may lead to Kane County offices, Utah agencies, courts, legal resources, or outside search tools. Once you leave, the destination's policy governs. Read it before providing personal details.

Advertising providers may track activity across websites to tailor ads. That processing occurs on their systems.

Who Might See Your Data

We do not sell personal data. Information may be available to:

  • Analytics providers measuring site traffic
  • Search providers processing a submitted query
  • Government or law-enforcement bodies acting under valid legal process
  • Advertising networks serving ads

How We Protect Your Data

We use standard safeguards for collected data. No internet system is completely secure, so those measures cannot guarantee that a breach will never occur.

Users Under 18

The site is intended for adults, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If we learn that a minor provided data, we will delete it.

Your Data Rights

Applicable privacy law may provide rights over personal data. Utah's Government Records Access and Management Act, Utah Code Title 63G, Chapter 2, governs government records rather than this private site. Utah Code §53-10-108 separately limits access, use, and disclosure of BCI criminal-history data. You may:

  • Request deletion of personal data we hold
  • Ask for a copy of personal data we hold
  • Opt out of some forms of processing where applicable
  • Request correction of inaccurate personal data

Updates to This Policy

We may revise this policy. A new version becomes available here with an updated effective date.

Effective date: August 10, 2026
