Data You Give Us Directly
Search Queries
A name, birth date, or other query entered in a search tool is sent directly to the independent provider operating that feature. The provider processes the request and supplies its results. We do not retain or log those search terms on our system.
Messages and Contact Submissions
An email may be retained long enough to answer and maintain the correspondence. It is kept within the organization unless disclosure is required by law.
Data We Gather Automatically
Ordinary server logs record limited technical details when a page loads, including:
- The IP address assigned to your device
- Which browser you are using and its version
- Your device type and operating system
- The pages you visited and how long you stayed on each
- The site that sent you here, if any
- Timestamps for each page view
Cookies and Analytics
Cookies and analytics services help aggregate traffic patterns, such as popular pages and exit points. A browser can reject cookies, although blocking them may change how some features behave.
What We Do With This Data
- Keeping the site up, running, and loading quickly
- Sending your search requests to the right partner service
- Figuring out which pages people find useful and which need work
- Tracking down and fixing technical issues
- Showing ads that may line up with your interests
No Warrant Data on File
We do not host, sell, maintain, or compile a database of personal warrant records. Our material explains how Wells County records route through the sheriff, Wells Circuit and Superior Courts, the county clerk, Bluffton City Court, and Indiana MyCase. Visitor data is not assembled into consumer reports, and this website is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act.
Third-Party Search Partners
Outside companies operate the search boxes. Information submitted there is governed by that provider's privacy terms, retention rules, and sharing practices, not this policy. Read those terms before submitting personal data.
Links to Other Websites
Links to Wells County offices, Indiana court portals, legal-aid groups, and outside tools lead away from this website. The destination's privacy policy applies after a visitor follows the link.
Advertising providers may use their own technology to recognize activity across websites and select ads. That processing occurs on their systems.
Who Might See Your Data
Personal information is not sold. It may be disclosed only to the service categories below or where law requires:
- Search partners that handle queries you run on our site
- Analytics services we use to track traffic and performance
- Ad networks that place ads on our pages
- Law enforcement or government bodies when a valid legal order requires it
How We Protect Your Data
Reasonable administrative and technical safeguards protect collected information. No internet system can be guaranteed secure, so protection against every unauthorized event cannot be promised.
Users Under 18
The website is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. A verified report of a minor's submitted data will be addressed by deleting that information.
Your Data Rights
Indiana law, including the Indiana Access to Public Records Act, IC 5-14-3, governs official agency records but does not make this private website a government custodian. Other privacy or consumer-protection laws may also provide rights. You may:
- Ask for a copy of what we have on file about you
- Have us fix information that is wrong
- Request that we erase your data
- Opt out of certain kinds of data processing
Updates to This Policy
This policy may change as practices or legal duties change. Any revision will appear here with an updated effective date.
