Privacy Policy

This policy describes the visitor information Wayne County Criminal History receives, why it is used, and the limited circumstances in which service providers may receive it. Continued use of the website constitutes acceptance of these practices.

Data You Give Us Directly

Search Queries

A name or place entered in a search box is sent directly to the outside company operating that tool. The partner processes the request and supplies its results. Wayne County Criminal History does not keep a site-side log of those terms.

Messages and Contact Submissions

An email may be retained long enough to answer and maintain the related correspondence. It is not shared outside the organization unless disclosure is legally required.

Data We Gather Automatically

Loading a page can automatically provide routine technical and usage details:

  • Page-view times and the referring website, when available
  • Pages opened and the approximate time spent on them
  • Device category and operating system
  • Browser name and version
  • The device's assigned IP address

Cookies and Analytics

Cookies are small device files used to understand traffic patterns, such as popular pages and common exit points. Analytics providers combine this usage data for reporting. A browser can reject cookies, although disabling them may change how some site functions behave.

What We Do With This Data

  • Diagnosing errors and maintaining reliable page delivery
  • Measuring which resources visitors use
  • Routing a submitted query to its search provider
  • Displaying advertising that may reflect visitor interests

No Criminal-Record Data on File

Wayne County Criminal History does not maintain, assemble, or sell a personal criminal-record database. It explains how to reach Wayne County Sheriff's Office, the Loa courts, the Utah Bureau of Criminal Identification, and the Utah Sex, Kidnap, and Child Abuse Offender Registry. Visitor data is not compiled into third-party records or consumer reports, and the site is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act.

Third-Party Search Partners

Outside companies operate the site's search boxes. Their privacy terms, retention schedules, and sharing rules apply to data entered there. Review the provider's policy before sending a query because this policy does not control its systems.

Links to Other Websites

Links may lead to Wayne County offices, Utah Courts XChange, BCI, legal resources, or other services. Once a visitor leaves this website, the destination's privacy policy governs. Review it before providing personal information.

Advertising providers may use their own systems to measure activity across websites and select interest-based ads.

Who Might See Your Data

Personal data is not sold. Limited information may be processed by:

  • Advertising networks that serve page ads
  • Analytics providers measuring performance and traffic
  • Search partners receiving a visitor's submitted query
  • A government or law-enforcement body acting under valid legal process

How We Protect Your Data

Reasonable security measures are used for collected information. No internet service can guarantee perfect security, so the site cannot promise that unauthorized access or another breach will never occur.

Users Under 18

The website is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal data from anyone younger than 18. Information identified as belonging to a minor will be deleted after a valid request.

Your Data Rights

Applicable Utah law, including the Utah Consumer Privacy Act, Utah Code Title 13, Chapter 61, may provide additional rights depending on the person's status and the law's coverage. Available requests may include:

  • Opting out of certain covered processing
  • Requesting deletion of eligible information
  • Correcting inaccurate personal data where the law provides that right
  • Obtaining access to covered personal data

Updates to This Policy

A revised policy becomes available on this page with a new effective date. Visitors should review the current version to understand the practices then in effect.

Effective date: August 10, 2026
