Data You Give Us Directly
Search Queries
A name or place submitted through a search tool is sent directly to the outside company operating that tool. The provider processes the query and supplies its results; this site does not retain or log the submitted search terms.
Messages and Contact Submissions
An email may be retained so our team can respond. It is not disclosed outside the organization unless disclosure is legally required.
Data We Gather Automatically
When a page loads, the servers automatically receive certain technical and usage details:
- Page-view timestamps
- Your device's IP address
- Referring website, when available
- Browser name and version
- Pages viewed and time spent on them
- Operating system and device category
Cookies and Analytics
Cookies are small files placed on a device to help measure site use, including popular pages and exit points. Analytics providers aggregate this traffic information. You may block cookies in your browser, although doing so can change how parts of the site function.
What We Do With This Data
- Diagnosing and resolving technical problems
- Operating the site and maintaining performance
- Displaying advertising that may reflect visitor interests
- Routing a query to the applicable partner service
- Understanding which pages are useful or need improvement
No Criminal-Record Data on File
Archuleta County Criminal History does not compile, maintain, or sell a database of personal criminal records. It provides general directions to custodians such as ACSO, the local courts, the Colorado Bureau of Investigation (CBI), and the Colorado Sex Offender Registry. The site is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, and visitor data is not assembled into consumer reports or third-party criminal-record profiles.
Third-Party Search Partners
Outside companies power the site's search boxes. A partner's own privacy policy governs information entered there, along with its retention and disclosure practices. Review those terms before submitting a query because this policy does not control the partner's processing.
Links to Other Websites
Links may lead to ACSO, court portals, Colorado agencies, legal-aid resources, or commercial tools. Once you leave this site, the destination's privacy rules apply, so review them before providing personal information.
Some advertising providers may use their own systems to follow activity across websites for targeted advertising.
Who Might See Your Data
Personal data is not sold. Information may nevertheless be available to:
- Analytics providers measuring site performance and traffic
- Search partners processing a query you submit
- Government or law-enforcement bodies acting under a valid legal order
- Advertising networks serving content on the pages
How We Protect Your Data
Standard safeguards are used for collected information, but no internet-connected system is completely secure. Reasonable protection can reduce risk; it 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 such information is identified, a request may be made for its deletion.
Your Data Rights
Depending on residency and statutory coverage, the Colorado Privacy Act, C.R.S. §§6-1-1301 through 6-1-1314, may provide additional rights concerning personal data. Subject to applicable exceptions, you may:
- Opt out of certain forms of data processing
- Request access to personal information held about you
- Ask that inaccurate information be corrected
- Request deletion of eligible personal data
Updates to This Policy
This policy may be revised. Any new version will be posted here with an updated effective date, so visitors should check the page periodically.
