Information You Submit
Terms Entered in Search
A name, place, or other term entered in a sponsored search box is sent to the outside provider that operates the tool. This site does not keep its own log of those search terms.
Messages Sent to Us
An email or contact message may be retained long enough to review and answer it. We do not share that message outside the organization unless disclosure is required by law.
Automatic Technical Details
Routine web systems may record basic technical details when a page loads, including:
- The visitor's Internet Protocol address.
- The browser name and version.
- The device category and operating system.
- Pages opened and approximate time spent.
- The referring website, when supplied.
- The date and time of a request.
Cookie Use
Cookies help measure how visitors use the site. A browser can block or remove them, although some features may work differently when cookies are disabled.
Reasons We Use Data
Collected information supports routine site functions and service decisions.

Privacy Beyond This Site
Links may lead to Sheriff and corrections pages, release-record sources, government portals, or outside search tools. Once a visitor follows a link, the destination's privacy policy controls its collection and use of information.
Some advertising providers may measure activity across more than one website to select ads. That processing takes place through the provider's systems, not through a separate Holmes County government record.

We do not sell personal information. Limited data may be available to:
- Search partners that process submitted queries.
- Services that measure traffic and site use.
- Advertising networks serving content.
- Law-enforcement or government authorities acting under a valid legal order.
Reasonable Security Measures
We use customary safeguards suited to a public website. No system connected to the Internet can be guaranteed free from every breach, loss, or unauthorized access.
Visitors Under Eighteen
This site is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. A parent or guardian who believes a minor submitted information may use the Contacts page to request deletion.
Your Privacy Choices
Depending on applicable law and the data held, a person may ask us to:
- Provide a copy of personal information we retain.
- Correct inaccurate personal information.
- Delete eligible personal information.
- Stop certain forms of processing.
