Data You Give Us Directly
Search Queries
A name or location entered into a search tool is sent directly to the outside provider operating that feature. The provider processes the query and supplies its results. Audrain County Criminal History does not retain or log those search terms on its own systems.
Messages and Contact Submissions
An email message may be kept long enough to answer and maintain the related correspondence. It remains within the operating team unless disclosure is required by a valid legal obligation.
Data We Gather Automatically
Loading a page can cause the server to receive standard technical and usage details:
- Page-view dates, times, and duration
- Device category and operating system
- The referring website, when one is provided
- Browser name and version
- The device's assigned IP address
- Pages opened during the visit
Cookies and Analytics
Cookies are small files placed on a device. They help show broad traffic patterns, such as popular pages and common exit points. Analytics providers may combine that activity into aggregate reports. A browser can block cookies, although disabling them may change how some functions behave.
What We Do With This Data
- Diagnosing faults and other technical problems
- Routing a query to the selected search provider
- Measuring which material visitors use most
- Operating the website and improving load performance
- Displaying advertising that may reflect visitor interests
No Criminal-Record Data on File
Audrain County Criminal History does not keep, compile, or sell a database of personal criminal records. Its content identifies official custodians, including the Audrain County Sheriff, Circuit Clerk, Missouri State Highway Patrol Central Repository, and Missouri State Highway Patrol Sex Offender Registry. This site is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act. Visitor data is not assembled into consumer reports or third-party criminal-history profiles.
Third-Party Search Partners
Outside companies operate the search boxes. Information entered there is governed by the selected provider's privacy policy rather than this policy. Each partner controls its own retention and disclosure practices, so review those terms before sending a query.
Links to Other Websites
Links may lead to government agencies, court portals, legal-aid resources, or outside search services. Their policies govern once a visitor leaves this website. Review the destination's privacy terms before providing personal details.
Advertising companies may use their own systems to measure activity across websites and select targeted ads. That processing is under the advertiser's control.
Who Might See Your Data
Personal data is not sold. Limited information may be available to:
- Government or law-enforcement bodies acting under a valid legal order
- Advertising networks that serve material on the pages
- Search providers processing a query sent to their tool
- Analytics services measuring traffic and site performance
How We Protect Your Data
Reasonable security practices are used to protect collected data. No internet service can guarantee absolute security, so a breach or unauthorized access cannot be ruled out.
Users Under 18
This resource is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. A verified report that a minor supplied such data will be addressed by deleting the information.
Your Data Rights
Rights can vary with a visitor's location. Missouri's Sunshine Law, Chapter 610 RSMo, governs access to government records, while RSMo §§43.500–43.506 govern dissemination of state criminal-history information. Those laws do not turn this private website into a government records custodian. Under this policy, a visitor may:
- Object to certain forms of data processing
- Ask for deletion of personal data held by the site
- Request correction of inaccurate personal information
- Ask what personal information the site keeps about them
Updates to This Policy
This policy may be revised. A changed version will appear here with a new effective date, so visitors should review it periodically.
Effective date: July 30, 2026
