Data You Give Us Directly
Search Queries
A name or date of birth typed into one of the search boxes here goes directly to the outside provider that runs that search. The provider processes the query and returns results. We do not keep or log those search terms on our side.
Messages and Contact Submissions
If you email us, we retain the message so we can write back. It stays inside our team. We share it with no one outside the organization unless a legal obligation requires it.
Data We Gather Automatically
Each time a page loads, our servers record a few technical details about the visit:
- The site that referred you here, when there is one
- The IP address assigned to your device
- Which browser and version you are using
- Your device type and operating system
- The pages you opened and the time spent on each
- A timestamp for every page view
Cookies and Analytics
This site uses cookies, which are small files stored on your device. They help us see which pages draw traffic and where visitors stop reading. Analytics services aggregate that activity for us. You can block cookies in your browser settings at any time, though some parts of the site may then behave differently.
What We Do With This Data
- Routing your search request to the right partner service
- Keeping the site online and loading quickly
- Learning which pages readers find useful and which need work
- Finding and fixing technical problems
- Displaying advertising that may relate to your interests
No Warrant Data on File
This site does not host, build, or sell databases of warrants or personal warrant records. It publishes general guidance about where Suffolk County warrant records sit and how to check them with the issuing court, the Sheriff's records offices, or a city or town records officer. We are not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, and nothing gathered about visitors is assembled into consumer reports about anyone.
Third-Party Search Partners
Outside companies supply the search boxes on this site. Whatever you enter there is handled under that partner's own privacy policy rather than this one. Those partners decide how long they keep data and who else sees it, and we have no control over either choice. Read the partner's policy before you submit a search.
Links to Other Websites
Pages here link to court portals, Sheriff pages, Registry of Motor Vehicles resources, legal aid groups, and third-party search tools. Following any of those links takes you off this site, and the destination's privacy policy then applies. Read it before you share personal details.
Some advertising partners track activity across websites to target ads. That tracking runs on their systems, not ours.
Who Might See Your Data
We do not sell personal data. Some information may reach:
- Analytics providers that measure traffic and performance
- Ad networks that serve advertising on these pages
- Search partners that handle queries submitted here
- Law enforcement or another government body when a valid legal order requires disclosure
How We Protect Your Data
We use standard security practices to protect the data we collect. No internet service can promise perfect safety, and we cannot guarantee that a breach will never happen. We take reasonable steps to prevent one.
Users Under 18
This site is written for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If you believe a minor has sent us data, contact us and we will delete it promptly.
Your Data Rights
Massachusetts law gives people rights over records that government agencies hold about them, and the Massachusetts Public Records Law (G.L. c.66) sets out how to ask a state or local agency for records, including records about yourself. For the limited data this site holds, you can take these steps at any time:
- Ask to see a copy of what we have about you
- Have incorrect information corrected
- Request deletion of your data
- Opt out of certain kinds of processing
Updates to This Policy
This policy may change. When it does, the revised version goes up on this page with a new effective date, and the changes apply from that date forward.
Effective date: September 15, 2026
