Jail411.com ("we," "us," or "our") operates the jail411.com website. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect information when you visit our site.
Information We Collect
Automatically Collected Information
When you visit jail411.com, we may automatically collect certain information, including:
- Your IP address and approximate geographic location
- Browser type, version, and operating system
- Pages visited, time spent on pages, and referring URLs
- Device type (desktop, mobile, tablet)
Information You Provide
If you email us, or send a sponsorship inquiry from our Advertise page, we receive the information you choose to provide, such as your name, business name, email address and phone number. Sponsorship inquiries are delivered to us by email; the website does not store them.
Cookies and Tracking Technologies
We use cookies and similar tracking technologies to enhance your experience. These include:
- Essential cookies: Required for site functionality
- Analytics cookies: Help us understand how visitors use the site (via Google Analytics)
- Advertising: Jail411 sells clearly labeled direct sponsorships. We do not use an advertising network, and sponsors do not place cookies or receive information about visitors.
Google Analytics
We use Google Analytics 4 to analyze website traffic. Google Analytics uses cookies to collect anonymous usage data. This data helps us understand which pages are most popular and how visitors navigate our site. Analytics storage is off by default (Google Consent Mode), so Google Analytics does not set analytics cookies unless consent is given. Google's privacy policy can be found at policies.google.com/privacy.
Sponsorships
Sponsored placements on Jail411 are sold directly to businesses and are labeled as sponsored. Sponsors do not receive information about individual visitors, and sponsorship does not change facility listings, custody information or search order.
How We Use Information
We use the collected information to:
- Operate and maintain the website
- Improve site content and user experience
- Analyze usage trends and site performance
- Show clearly labeled sponsorships
- Respond to questions and sponsorship inquiries
Data Sharing
We do not sell your personal information. Google Analytics processes usage data as described above. When we describe the site to sponsors, we use only aggregated statistics, such as page views by state, never information about individual visitors.
Data Retention
Analytics data is retained according to Google Analytics default retention settings. Messages and sponsorship inquiries are kept as long as needed to respond and to manage any resulting sponsorship.
Your Rights
Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the right to:
- Access the personal data we hold about you
- Request correction or deletion of your data
- Opt out of analytics cookies
- Withdraw consent for data processing
Children's Privacy
Jail411.com is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us so we can delete it.
Security
We implement reasonable security measures to protect the information collected through our site, including SSL/TLS encryption for all connections.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated revision date.
