Information You Submit
Search Terms
When you type a name or location into a search tool, that query is sent to the third-party provider that operates the tool. This site does not store those search terms in its own jail, court, or records database.
Messages
If you send an email or message about this site, the information you provide may be kept long enough to review and respond. We do not share those messages outside the organization unless a valid legal requirement applies.
Information Collected Automatically
Like most websites, this site may collect technical information when a page loads, including:
- IP address.
- Browser name and version.
- Device type and operating system.
- Pages viewed and time spent on pages.
- Referring website, if one sent you here.
- Date and time of the visit.
Cookies
Cookies may be used to understand site usage and keep basic features working. You can block cookies in your browser settings, though some features or partner tools may behave differently.
How the Information Is Used
- To operate the site and keep pages loading reliably.
- To send search requests to the correct partner service.
- To understand which Clear Creek County pages visitors use most.
- To diagnose errors, broken links, and technical problems.
- To support advertising that may be based on general interests.
Outside Links and Public Resources
This site links to public and third-party resources, including the Clear Creek County Detentions page, the county VINE custody-status page, the sheriff Records Requests page, Colorado Judicial Branch resources, CDOC, BOP, ICE ODLS, and partner search services. Once you leave this site, the privacy policy of the destination site controls.
Advertising partners may use their own systems to track activity across websites for interest-based advertising. That tracking happens through their tools, not through an official Clear Creek County or Sheriff Ron Thornton record system.
Who May Receive Information
We do not sell personal information. Information may still be handled by limited outside parties that support the site.
- Search partners that process lookup requests.
- Analytics providers that measure site performance.
- Advertising networks that serve or measure ads.
- Law enforcement or government bodies when required by a valid legal order.
Security
We use reasonable security practices for a public website, but no internet-connected service can be guaranteed breach-proof. Do not treat this site as a secure way to transmit confidential legal, medical, financial, or custody information.
Users Under 18
This site is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If a minor submitted information, contact us so it can be reviewed for deletion.

Colorado public-records laws such as CORA, C.R.S. Title 24 Article 72 Part 2, and the Criminal Justice Records Act, Title 24 Article 72 Part 3, govern many government records. They do not make this private site the custodian of sheriff, jail, court, or CDOC records.
Policy Updates
This Privacy Policy may be updated from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with the updated policy text.
