Information you provide
A name, location, or other text entered into a search widget is sent to the third-party provider operating that widget. This site does not store or log those submitted search terms on its own systems. If someone sends an email or a message about this site, the contact information and message may be kept so that we can respond. It is not shared outside the organization unless a legal requirement applies.
Automatic data and cookies
Like most websites, the site may receive technical information when a page loads. This can include an IP address, browser and version, device type and operating system, pages viewed and time spent, referring page, and timestamps.
Cookies may be used to understand how visitors use the guide. Browser settings can block or remove cookies, although some features may behave differently afterward.
How information is used
Technical and contact information may be used to operate and improve the site, direct submitted searches to the relevant partner, understand useful pages, diagnose technical issues, and display advertising that may reflect interests. We do not use this guide as an official Yakima County record system.
External sites and advertising
This guide links to county custody pages, city sources, sheriff and corrections pages, court portals, and third-party search tools. Once a visitor follows a link, that destination's privacy policy controls its collection and use of data. Advertising partners may track activity across sites on their own systems for targeted advertising.
Who may receive data
Personal information is not sold. It may be handled by search partners processing a submitted query, analytics providers, advertising networks, or law enforcement and government bodies responding to a valid legal order.
Security and age limits
We use reasonable safeguards for the information we handle, but no internet-connected system can promise complete security. This site is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect information from anyone under 18. If a minor has submitted information, contact us to request its removal.
Your choices and policy changes
Subject to applicable law, a visitor may request access to information we hold, ask to correct inaccurate information, request deletion, or opt out of certain processing. Use the Get in Touch page for a request about this policy. This notice can change, and a revised version takes effect when posted here.
