Privacy Policy

This policy describes the information collected when you use Morgan County Criminal History, the purposes for which it is used, and the limited circumstances in which it may be disclosed. By continuing to use this website, you accept the practices stated below.

Data You Give Us Directly

Search Queries

A name or location entered in a search tool is sent directly to the outside provider that operates it. That provider processes the query and supplies the response. We do not retain or log those search terms on our systems.

Messages and Contact Submissions

An email sent to us may be kept so we can respond. It remains within our organization unless disclosure is required by a valid legal obligation.

Data We Gather Automatically

Our servers automatically receive basic technical information when a page loads:

  • The IP address assigned to your device
  • Which browser you are using and its version
  • Your device type and operating system
  • The pages you visited and how long you stayed on each
  • The site that sent you here, if any
  • Timestamps for each page view

Cookies and Analytics

Cookies are small files saved on a device. They and analytics services help us understand aggregate traffic, including popular pages and common exit points. Browser controls can block cookies, though doing so may change how some site functions behave.

What We Do With This Data

  • Keeping the site up, running, and loading quickly
  • Sending your search requests to the right partner service
  • Figuring out which pages people find useful and which need work
  • Tracking down and fixing technical issues
  • Showing ads that may line up with your interests

No Criminal-Record Data on File

This site does not maintain, compile, or sell a database of personal criminal-record information. It provides general directions to Morgan County Sheriff, Morgan Combined Court, the Colorado Bureau of Investigation, and the Colorado Sex Offender Registry. We are not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, and visitor information is not assembled into consumer reports or third-party criminal records.

Third-Party Search Partners

Outside companies operate the search boxes displayed here. Their privacy policies, retention periods, and sharing rules apply to any information entered in those tools. Read the applicable provider policy before submitting a query because we do not control those practices.

Links to Other Websites

Links to sheriff pages, court portals, state agencies, legal-aid groups, and search providers lead away from this website. The destination's privacy policy then controls. Review it before providing personal information.

Some advertising partners may use their own systems to follow activity across websites and select interest-based advertising.

Who Might See Your Data

Personal data is not sold. Limited information may be disclosed to:

  • Search partners that handle queries you run on our site
  • Analytics services we use to track traffic and performance
  • Ad networks that place ads on our pages
  • Law enforcement or government bodies when a valid legal order requires it

How We Protect Your Data

We use standard safeguards for collected data. No internet-connected system is completely secure, however, so we cannot guarantee that a breach will never occur.

Users Under 18

This website is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone younger than 18. If we learn that a minor supplied such data, we will delete it.

Your Data Rights

Where applicable, the Colorado Privacy Act, C.R.S. §§ 6-1-1301 through 6-1-1313, may provide additional rights concerning personal data. Colorado criminal-justice records held by public custodians are separately governed by the Colorado Criminal Justice Records Act, C.R.S. §§ 24-72-301 through 24-72-309. Subject to applicable law, you may:

  • Ask for a copy of what we have on file about you
  • Have us fix information that is wrong
  • Request that we erase your data
  • Opt out of certain kinds of data processing

Updates to This Policy

This policy may be revised. Any new version will appear on this page with an updated effective date, so users should review it periodically.

Effective date: July 16, 2026
