Data You Give Us Directly
Search Queries
A name or birth date typed into one of the search tools here travels directly to the third-party provider operating that tool. The provider handles the query and returns whatever it returns. Those search terms are not logged or stored on our side.
Messages and Contact Submissions
An email sent to us is kept only so that a reply can be written. The message stays inside our team and is not passed to anyone outside it unless the law requires disclosure.
Data We Gather Automatically
Our servers record routine technical details each time one of these pages loads:
- Timestamps for each page view
- The referring site, when there is one
- Which pages were opened and how long each was read
- Device type and operating system
- Browser name and version
- The IP address assigned to the device
Cookies and Analytics
Cookies are small files kept on a visitor's device, and this site uses them to see which pages draw traffic and where readers stop. Analytics services aggregate that traffic for us. Blocking cookies through browser settings is always an option, though some parts of the site may then behave differently.
What We Do With This Data
- Serving ads that may match a reader's interests
- Finding and repairing technical faults
- Learning which pages help readers and which need rewriting
- Passing search requests to the correct partner service
- Keeping the site online, stable, and quick to load
No Warrant Data on File
No warrant database, roster, or personal warrant record is hosted, compiled, or sold here. What these pages publish is general guidance about where Covington County warrant information is held and how to reach it: the Covington County Sheriff's Office, the Circuit Clerk, Justice Court, the Collins, Mount Olive, and Seminary municipal clerks, and the state's electronic court docket system. This site is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, and nothing gathered about visitors is assembled into a report about any third party.
Third-Party Search Partners
Outside companies power the search boxes on this site. Whatever is entered into them is handled under that partner's privacy policy rather than this one, and each partner sets its own retention and sharing rules, which we do not control. Read the partner's policy before submitting a search.
Links to Other Websites
These pages link out to the Covington County Sheriff's Office, county and municipal court pages, Mississippi state agencies, federal court resources, and third-party search tools. Following any of those links ends the visit here, and the destination site's own privacy policy takes over. Read it before sharing personal details.
Some advertising partners track activity across websites in order to target ads. That tracking happens on their systems rather than ours.
Who Might See Your Data
Personal data is not sold. Some information may reach:
- Government or law enforcement bodies when a valid legal order requires it
- Advertising networks that place ads on these pages
- Analytics providers measuring traffic and performance
- Search partners processing queries run on this site
How We Protect Your Data
Standard security practices are used to protect what is collected. No internet connected system is perfectly safe, so while reasonable steps are taken, a guarantee against every possible breach is not something anyone can honestly offer.
Users Under 18
These pages are written for adults. Personal information is not knowingly collected from anyone under 18. If a minor appears to have sent us data, contact us and it will be deleted promptly.
Your Data Rights
Mississippi's public records framework, the Mississippi Public Records Act of 1983 at Miss. Code Ann. §§ 25-61-1 and following, governs records held by government bodies such as the Covington County Sheriff's Office and the county's clerks, not records held by a private website. Depending on where a reader lives, state or federal privacy law may add further rights over personal data. At minimum, a reader may:
- Opt out of certain types of data processing
- Ask that data be deleted
- Ask that inaccurate information be corrected
- Request a copy of what is held about them
Updates to This Policy
This policy may change over time. Any revision appears on this page with a fresh effective date, so check back to see how visitor information is being handled.
