Humboldt Privacy Policy

This policy describes the information associated with using Humboldt County Recent Arrests, why it is processed, and when another party may receive it. By continuing to use the site, you accept the practices explained here.

Information You Submit

Terms Entered in Search Tools

When you enter a name or location into a partner-operated search box, that query passes to the provider running the tool. This site does not store or log the search terms on its own systems.

Messages Sent to Us

An email or contact submission may be retained as needed to answer it. We do not share that correspondence outside the organization unless disclosure is legally required.


Technical Data Collected During a Visit

Ordinary web and analytics systems may automatically record:

  • Your Internet Protocol address;
  • Browser name and version;
  • Device category and operating system;
  • Pages viewed and time spent on them;
  • The referring website, when available; and
  • Date and time information.

Cookies and Browser Controls

Cookies help measure how people navigate the site. You can limit or block them through your browser, although doing so may change how some site features work.


Purposes for Processing Information

  • Operate the site and maintain reasonable performance;
  • Send a search request to the selected partner service;
  • Understand which guides visitors find useful;
  • Diagnose and repair technical problems; and
  • Display advertising that may reflect visitor interests.

Official and Third-Party Destinations

Links may lead to HCSO Citizen RIMS, HCCF Jail Reports, Humboldt Superior Court, CDCR, federal locators, or independent search services. After you leave this site, the destination’s privacy terms control its data practices.

Advertising partners may use their own technology to measure activity across websites and select interest-based ads. That processing occurs on their systems, not ours.


Parties That May Receive Data

We do not sell personal information. Depending on how you use the site, information may be handled by:

  • Search partners that process submitted queries;
  • Analytics providers;
  • Advertising networks; and
  • Law-enforcement or other government authorities responding to a valid legal order.

Security Is a Best-Effort Practice

We use customary safeguards intended to protect information. No internet-connected service can promise complete security, however, and we cannot guarantee that a breach will never occur.


This Site Is for Adults

The site is not intended for anyone under 18, and we do not knowingly collect a minor’s personal information. If you believe a minor submitted data, use the Contact page to request its deletion.


Your Privacy Choices

Subject to applicable law, including the California Consumer Privacy Act as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act, you may:

  • Ask for a copy of personal information we hold;
  • Request correction of inaccurate information;
  • Ask that eligible information be deleted; and
  • Opt out of certain processing where that right applies.

Changes to This Policy

We may revise this policy as the site or legal requirements change. A revision becomes effective when posted here with an updated effective date.
