Data You Give Us Directly
Search Queries
When you enter a name, city, county, or location into a search tool on this site, that query is sent to the outside provider that operates the tool. The provider processes the request and supplies its own results. We do not keep a separate local log of those search terms.
Messages and Contact Submissions
If you email us, we retain the message long enough to review and answer it. We do not pass ordinary messages to outside parties unless the law, a subpoena, or another valid legal process requires disclosure.
Data We Gather Automatically
When a page loads, routine technical information may be captured by our server, analytics tools, or hosting providers:
- Timestamps connected to page views
- The pages viewed and approximate time spent on them
- The browser and browser version used
- Your device type and operating system
- The referring site, if one sent you here
- The IP address assigned to your connection
Cookies and Analytics
Cookies may be used to understand how visitors move through the site, including which Desha County pages are visited most often and where users leave. Analytics services help summarize that activity. You can block or clear cookies in your browser settings, though some features may not behave the same afterward.
What We Do With This Data
- Operate the website and keep pages loading reliably
- Route search-tool entries to the correct third-party provider
- Measure which Desha County record topics visitors use most
- Diagnose errors, downtime, and performance issues
- Display advertising that may be relevant to site visitors
No Criminal-Record Data on File
This site does not maintain, compile, or sell a database of personal criminal-record information. Its pages explain where Desha County records may be held, including the Desha County Sheriff, Dumas Police, McGehee Police, Desha County Circuit Court, Desha County District Court departments, Arkansas State Police, ACIC, Arkansas DOC, and the Arkansas Sex Offender Notification System. We are not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, and visitor data is not assembled into consumer reports or third-party criminal-history files.
Third-Party Search Partners
Search boxes on this site are operated by outside companies. Information entered there is handled under the partner's privacy policy, data-retention rules, and sharing practices. We do not control those partner systems, so review their terms before submitting a search.
Links to Other Websites
We link to government and court resources such as Search ARCourts, Arkansas State Police background-check information, ACIC forms, Arkansas DOC tools, registry pages, and local Desha County office sites. Once you leave this site, the destination site's privacy policy controls your visit.
Advertising partners may also use their own systems to recognize activity across different websites for ad delivery and measurement.
Who Might See Your Data
We do not sell personal data. Limited visitor information may be visible to:
- Third-party search providers when you use a search box
- Analytics providers that measure traffic and site performance
- Advertising networks that serve or measure ads
- Government bodies or law enforcement when valid legal process requires disclosure
How We Protect Your Data
We use ordinary administrative and technical safeguards for the information we collect. No internet-connected service can be made completely secure, so we cannot guarantee that unauthorized access will never occur.
Users Under 18
This site is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If we learn that a minor submitted personal data, we will remove it when reasonably possible.
Your Data Rights
Depending on where you live and how a request applies, Arkansas law and other privacy or consumer-protection rules may give you rights over personal data. Arkansas records access and criminal-history dissemination are also shaped by the Arkansas Freedom of Information Act, Ark. Code Ann. §§ 25-19-101 through 25-19-111, and Ark. Code Ann. § 12-12-1010. At a minimum, you can:
- Ask what personal information we have about you
- Request correction of inaccurate information
- Ask us to delete personal information where deletion is legally and technically available
- Opt out of certain processing where applicable law gives that right
Updates to This Policy
We may revise this privacy policy as the site, partner tools, or legal requirements change. The updated policy will appear on this page with a new effective date.
Effective date: July 16, 2026
