Privacy Policy

This policy describes the information collected during a visit to Camden County Criminal History, the reasons it may be used, and the limited situations in which another party may receive it. By continuing to browse or use a feature on this privately operated website, you accept the practices stated below.

Data You Give Us Directly

Search Queries

A name or location entered in a search tool is sent directly to the outside provider that operates that feature. The provider processes the request and supplies its results. We do not keep or record those search terms on our systems.

Messages and Contact Submissions

We may retain an email or other message long enough to respond and maintain the related correspondence. It remains within our organization unless disclosure is required by a valid legal obligation.

Data We Gather Automatically

Our servers automatically receive basic technical information when a page loads, including:

  • The date and time of each page request
  • Your device's assigned IP address
  • The referring website, when one is available
  • Browser name and version
  • Pages viewed and the time spent on them
  • Operating system and general device type

Cookies and Analytics

Cookies are small files placed on a device. We use them with analytics services to understand traffic patterns, such as which Camden County resource pages are viewed most often and where visits end. Browser controls allow you to reject or remove cookies, although disabling them can change how some features work.

What We Do With This Data

  • Finding and resolving security or technical problems
  • Operating the site and maintaining reasonable performance
  • Displaying advertising that may reflect visitor interests
  • Routing a search request to the selected outside provider
  • Understanding which resources visitors use and where revisions may help

No Criminal-Record Data on File

We do not maintain, assemble, or sell a database of personal criminal records. The site provides general directions to records held by the Camden County Sheriff's Records Bureau, the 26th Judicial Circuit, the Missouri State Highway Patrol CJIS repository, and the Missouri Sex Offender Registry. Visitor information is not compiled into a consumer report or a record about another person, and this site is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act. Missouri government access to criminal records is separately governed by the Missouri Sunshine Law, Chapter 610 RSMo, and §43.527 RSMo.

Third-Party Search Partners

Outside companies operate the search boxes. Information submitted through one of those tools falls under that company's privacy policy rather than this policy. Each provider controls its own retention and disclosure rules. Review those terms before entering a query.

Links to Other Websites

Links may lead to the Camden County sheriff, Missouri courts, state agencies, legal-aid resources, or an outside search service. Once you leave this website, the destination's privacy policy applies. Read that policy before providing personal information.

Advertising companies may use their own systems to follow activity across websites and select targeted ads. We do not operate that tracking infrastructure.

Who Might See Your Data

Personal data is not sold by us. It may be disclosed to the following limited categories:

  • Analytics providers that measure traffic and site performance
  • Search providers that process queries submitted to their tools
  • A government or law-enforcement body acting under a valid legal order
  • Advertising networks that display ads on these pages

How We Protect Your Data

Reasonable, standard safeguards are used for information we collect. No internet-connected service can guarantee perfect protection, however, so we cannot promise that a breach or unauthorized access will never occur.

Users Under 18

This website is intended for adults, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from a person under 18. If we learn that a minor supplied such data, we will remove it.

Your Data Rights

Rights can vary with where you live and which law applies. Missouri's Sunshine Law, Chapter 610 RSMo, governs access to public records held by government bodies, while §43.527 RSMo governs MSHP dissemination of criminal-history information. Those laws do not turn this private site into a government records custodian. Subject to applicable law, you may:

  • Request deletion of personal information we hold
  • Ask what personal information we maintain about you
  • Object to certain forms of processing where a law provides that choice
  • Ask that inaccurate personal information be corrected

Updates to This Policy

This policy may be revised as practices or legal duties change. A revised version will appear here with a new effective date, so visitors should review the page periodically.

Effective date: July 30, 2026
