Information You Submit
Terms Entered in Search
A name, place, or other term entered into a search tool is sent to the third-party provider that operates that tool. Morgan County Recent Arrests does not store or log those search terms on its own systems. The provider’s practices govern the query after it is submitted.
Emails and Messages
We retain information included in an email or contact form as needed to read the request, respond, and keep a reasonable record of the exchange. Contact messages are not shared outside our organization unless disclosure is required by law.

Privacy Beyond This Site
