Data Removal and Privacy Request Policy

Our approach to sensitive information

Jail and arrest-related information can affect a person’s reputation, safety, family and employment opportunities. Even when information is public, it should be handled carefully. Our goal is to guide users to official sources, not to unnecessarily expose or amplify sensitive personal details.

Where possible, our pages focus on agencies, facilities, search tools and instructions rather than publishing unnecessary personal information about individuals. If a page contains content that you believe is privacy-sensitive, outdated, misleading, legally restricted or harmful, you may request review.

What we may review

• Pages that include unnecessary personal identifying information.
• Content that appears to repeat a sealed, expunged, corrected or restricted record.
• Misleading text that may imply guilt where there was only an arrest or booking.
• Incorrect facility, case, county or agency context.
• Personal safety concerns related to domestic violence, witness safety, minors or vulnerable people.
• Outdated snippets or screenshots if any were added in error.

What we cannot remove

We cannot remove records from official jail rosters, sheriff websites, court portals, state corrections databases, Bureau of Prisons systems, search engines, archive websites or third-party data brokers. If the record exists on an official source, contact the official record holder to ask about correction, sealing, expungement or access restrictions.

How to submit a request

Send the page URL, your relationship to the issue, the reason for review, any official documentation and the specific change requested. We may ask for clarification if the request is unclear. We do not require unnecessary sensitive documents unless they are needed to understand the issue.

We review requests case by case. Depending on the issue, we may update wording, remove unnecessary details, add context, correct a link, remove an outdated screenshot, add a disclaimer or decline the request if the page is already appropriate and source-focused.
