Data You Give Us Directly
Search Queries
Anything you type into a search box on this site, such as a name or a date of birth, travels straight to the outside provider that runs that search box. That company processes the query and sends back results. We do not keep a copy or a log of your search terms.
Messages and Contact Submissions
If you email us, we hold that message so we can answer it. It stays inside our own group, and we do not pass it to anyone outside the organization unless the law requires it.
Data We Gather Automatically
Technical details about a visit reach our servers whenever a page loads, without any action from you:
- The IP address your device is using
- The browser you use and the version of it
- The type of device and the operating system
- Which pages you opened and how long each one stayed on screen
- The referring site, when one sent you here
- A timestamp for each page view
Cookies and Analytics
This site sets cookies, which are small files your device stores so we can see how the site gets used: which pages draw the most visitors and where people stop reading. Analytics services help us total up that traffic. You can block cookies in your browser at any time, though parts of the site may behave differently once you do.
What We Do With This Data
We use what we collect for a short list of purposes:
- Keeping the site online and loading quickly
- Passing your search request to the partner service that answers it
- Learning which pages help readers and which ones need work
- Finding and repairing technical problems
- Serving ads that may relate to your interests
No Warrant Data on File
This site does not host, build, keep, or sell any database of warrants or personal warrant records. What we publish is general guidance about where Middlesex County warrant records sit and how to check them through the issuing court, the sheriff's warrant unit, and the statewide law-enforcement system. We are not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, and nothing we collect about visitors is compiled into consumer reports or files about other people.
Third-Party Search Partners
The search boxes on this site belong to outside companies. Whatever you enter into one of them is handled under that partner's privacy policy rather than this one. Those partners decide how long they keep data and who they share it with, and we have no control over either. Read the partner's policy before you submit a search.
Links to Other Websites
We link out to court pages, sheriff's office sites, state warrant systems, legal aid organizations, and third-party search tools. Any of those links takes you off this site, and from that point the other site's privacy policy governs your visit. Read it before you share personal details.
Some advertising partners track activity across sites to target ads. That tracking runs on their systems, not on ours.
Who Might See Your Data
We do not sell personal data. A limited set of parties may receive some of it:
- Search partners that handle the queries you run here
- Analytics providers that measure traffic and performance
- Ad networks that place advertising on our pages
- Law enforcement or government bodies responding to a valid legal order
How We Protect Your Data
We rely on standard security practices to protect what we collect. Nothing connected to the internet is completely safe, though. We take reasonable steps to keep your information secure, and we cannot promise that a breach will never occur.
Users Under 18
This site is written for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If you believe a minor has given us data, contact us and we will remove it promptly.
Your Data Rights
Massachusetts privacy and records law, including the Public Records Law at G.L. c. 66 § 10 and the exemptions listed in G.L. c. 4 § 7(26), may give you added rights over information you request from a state or local agency. With respect to this site, you can at a minimum:
- Ask for a copy of what we hold about you
- Have us correct information that is wrong
- Ask us to delete your data
- Opt out of certain kinds of processing
