Privacy Policy

This policy describes the information collected during a visit to Jasper County Criminal History, why it is used, and the limited situations in which another party may receive it. By continuing to use the website, you agree to the practices stated below.

Data You Give Us Directly

Search Queries

A name or place entered in a search box is sent to the outside provider that operates that tool. The provider processes the query and delivers its result. We do not retain or log those search terms on our systems.

Messages and Contact Submissions

We retain an email message when needed to respond. It remains within our organization unless disclosure is required by a valid legal obligation.

Data We Gather Automatically

Our servers receive standard technical details when a page loads, including:

  • The IP address assigned to your device
  • Which browser you are using and its version
  • Your device type and operating system
  • The pages you visited and how long you stayed on each
  • The site that sent you here, if any
  • Timestamps for each page view

Cookies and Analytics

Cookies are small files placed on a device. They help show which pages visitors use and where a visit ends. Analytics services combine that traffic information. Browser controls can block cookies, although doing so may change how some site functions behave.

What We Do With This Data

  • Finding and repairing performance or technical problems
  • Routing a search request to the selected outside provider
  • Understanding which pages are useful and which need improvement
  • Operating the site and keeping pages responsive
  • Displaying 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. Jasper County content describes how to reach the sheriff, courts, South Carolina Law Enforcement Division, and South Carolina Sex Offender Registry. Official state criminal-history dissemination is supported by fingerprint reporting under South Carolina Code §23-3-120 and occurs through SLED, not through this site. We are not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, and visitor data is not assembled into a consumer report or a third-party criminal file.

Third-Party Search Partners

Outside companies operate the search boxes. A query submitted to one of those services is governed by that company's privacy policy. We do not control a partner's retention, processing, or sharing rules, so review its policy before entering information.

Links to Other Websites

Links may lead to Jasper County offices, South Carolina agencies, court systems, legal resources, or outside search tools. Once you leave this site, the destination's privacy terms apply. Read those terms before submitting personal details.

Some advertising providers may follow activity across websites to select ads. That tracking occurs on their systems rather than ours.

Who Might See Your Data

Personal data is not sold. Limited information may be available to:

  • Analytics vendors that measure site traffic and performance
  • Search providers that process a query submitted through their tool
  • Advertising networks that serve ads on the pages
  • Government or law-enforcement bodies when valid legal process requires disclosure

How We Protect Your Data

Standard security measures are used to protect collected data. No internet system can be guaranteed secure, however, and we cannot promise that unauthorized access will never occur.

Users Under 18

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

Your Data Rights

Your location may provide added privacy or consumer rights. The South Carolina Freedom of Information Act, Title 30, Chapter 4, governs requests to public bodies and does not turn this private site into a government record custodian. South Carolina Code §23-3-120 governs qualifying fingerprint reports to SLED and the state criminal-history framework. For data held by this site, you may:

  • Ask for a copy of what we have on file about you
  • Have us fix information that is wrong
  • Request that we erase your data
  • Opt out of certain kinds of data processing

Updates to This Policy

This policy may be revised. Any new version will appear here with an updated effective date, so review the page periodically for changes.

Effective date: August 8, 2026
