Privacy Policy

This policy describes information collected during a visit to Morrow County Criminal History, the reasons it may be used, and the limited circumstances in which another party may receive it. Continued use of the website indicates acceptance of these practices.

Data You Give Us Directly

Search Queries

A name or location entered in a search tool is sent directly to the third-party company operating that tool. The provider processes the query and supplies its results. Morrow County Criminal History does not keep or log those search terms on its own systems.

Messages and Contact Submissions

An email message may be retained long enough to respond and maintain the related correspondence. It is not disclosed outside the organization unless a valid legal duty requires disclosure.

Data We Gather Automatically

Loading a page can cause servers and analytics tools to collect routine technical details about the visit:

  • 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 measure aggregate traffic, popular pages, and where visits end. Analytics providers assist with that measurement. Browser controls can block cookies, although some website functions may then work differently.

What We Do With This Data

  • Route a submitted search to the selected outside provider
  • Maintain website availability, speed, and basic operation
  • Diagnose errors and other technical problems
  • Measure which material visitors use and where improvements are needed
  • Display advertising that may reflect visitor interests

No Criminal-Record Data on File

Morrow County Criminal History does not compile, maintain, or sell a personal criminal-record database. It describes official access through MCSO, Oregon courts, Oregon State Police CJIS, and the Oregon Sex Offender Registry. Government disclosure follows the Oregon Public Records Law, ORS 192.311-192.478, and criminal-history confidentiality and dissemination provisions in ORS chapter 181A. Visitor information is not assembled into third-party consumer reports, and this website is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act.

Third-Party Search Partners

Outside companies operate the search boxes. Information submitted there is governed by the selected provider’s privacy policy rather than this policy. Each provider decides how long it retains data and when it shares information. Review those terms before sending a query.

Links to Other Websites

Links may lead to sheriff pages, Oregon court portals, state agencies, legal-aid resources, or outside search services. Once a visitor follows a link, the destination’s privacy policy applies. Review it before providing personal information.

Advertising providers may use their own systems to measure activity across websites and select targeted advertisements.

Who Might See Your Data

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

  • Analytics vendors measuring performance and traffic
  • Search partners processing a visitor’s submitted query
  • Advertising networks serving content on the pages
  • Government or law-enforcement bodies acting under a valid legal order

How We Protect Your Data

Reasonable, commonly used safeguards protect collected information. No internet system can be guaranteed secure, however, and this policy does not promise that unauthorized access or a breach can never occur.

Users Under 18

The website is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone younger than 18. Information known to have been supplied by a minor will be removed after notice.

Your Data Rights

Rights may vary by residence. The Oregon Consumer Privacy Act, ORS 646A.570-646A.589, may provide additional control over qualifying personal data. Subject to applicable law, a person may:

  • Request deletion of covered personal data
  • Obtain a copy of covered information held about that person
  • Ask for inaccurate personal information to be corrected
  • Opt out of processing when the law supplies that choice

Updates to This Policy

This privacy policy may be revised as practices or legal duties change. A new version becomes available on this page and carries an updated effective date.

Effective date: August 3, 2026
