Privacy Policy

This policy explains what visitor information Lassen County Criminal History receives, why it is used, and the limited circumstances in which another service may receive it. It also distinguishes this private website from the California and Lassen County offices that maintain official records. By continuing to browse or use a search tool, you acknowledge the practices stated below, including the separate privacy rules that apply once you follow a link or submit information to an outside provider.

Data You Give Us Directly

Search Queries

A name or place entered in a search tool is sent directly to the outside company that operates that tool. The provider processes the query and supplies its results. This website does not keep or log those search terms on its own systems.

Messages and Contact Submissions

When you email us, the message may be retained so a reply can be prepared. It remains within the site's team unless disclosure is required by a valid legal obligation.

Data We Gather Automatically

Our servers receive routine technical details when a page loads:

  • Page-view dates and times
  • Visited pages and approximate time spent on them
  • Device type and operating system
  • Browser name and version
  • The referring site, when one is available
  • The device's assigned IP address

Cookies and Analytics

Cookies are small files placed on a device. Along with analytics services, they help produce grouped traffic measures such as popular pages and common exit points. You may block cookies in your browser, although doing so can alter how parts of the site work.

What We Do With This Data

  • Diagnosing technical faults
  • Maintaining site speed and availability
  • Routing a submitted query to the selected search provider
  • Measuring which guides are useful and which need revision
  • Displaying advertising that may reflect visitor interests

No Criminal-Record Data on File

Lassen County Criminal History does not maintain, compile, or sell a database of personal criminal-record information. It explains routes to the Lassen Superior Court, Sheriff's Office, California Department of Justice, and California Megan's Law Website. The California Public Records Act, Government Code section 7920.000 et seq., governs access to qualifying government records, while Penal Code section 11105 limits dissemination of California DOJ criminal-history information. Neither law turns this private guide into an official repository. We are not a consumer reporting agency, and visitor information is not assembled into reports about other people.

Third-Party Search Partners

Outside companies operate the search boxes. Information submitted there is handled under that company's privacy policy, retention choices, and sharing practices, not this policy. Review those terms before running a query.

Links to Other Websites

Links may lead to Lassen County, Lassen Superior Court, California agencies, legal resources, or outside search services. Once you leave this site, the destination's policy controls its collection and use of information. Read that policy before submitting personal details.

An advertising partner may use its own systems to recognize activity across sites and select targeted ads.

Who Might See Your Data

Personal data is not sold by this site. Limited information may be available to:

  • Government or law-enforcement bodies acting under a valid legal order
  • Advertising networks serving material on these pages
  • Analytics providers measuring traffic and performance
  • Search providers processing a query you choose to submit

How We Protect Your Data

Reasonable, commonly used safeguards protect the information collected here. No internet service can guarantee perfect security, so a breach cannot be ruled out.

Users Under 18

This website is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If such information is identified, it will be deleted.

Your Data Rights

Applicable law may provide choices concerning data held by this private site. The California Public Records Act, Government Code section 7920.000 et seq., is an access law for qualifying government records and does not itself create consumer-data rights against this website. Subject to applicable law, you may:

  • Opt out of certain processing where that option applies
  • Request deletion of data held about you
  • Ask that inaccurate information be corrected
  • Request a copy of information maintained about you

Updates to This Policy

This policy may be revised. A changed version will appear on this page with its new effective date, so the posted text is the version that applies.

Effective date: July 16, 2026
