Data You Give Us Directly
Search Queries
A name or place entered in a search tool is sent directly to the outside provider that operates that tool. The provider processes the entry and supplies its results. Boise County Criminal History does not keep or log those search terms on its own systems.
Messages and Contact Submissions
An email or other direct message may be retained long enough to answer and maintain the exchange. It remains within the site team unless disclosure is required by law.
Data We Gather Automatically
When a page loads, the site's systems may automatically receive technical and usage details such as:
- Page-view dates, times, and visit duration
- The referring website, when one is available
- Browser name and version
- Device category and operating system
- Pages opened during the visit
- The device's assigned IP address
Cookies and Analytics
Cookies are small files placed on a device. This site and its analytics services use them to combine traffic information, including which pages attract visits and where sessions end. A browser can reject or remove cookies, although blocking them may change how parts of the site function.
What We Do With This Data
- Finding and correcting security or technical problems
- Maintaining site availability and performance
- Understanding which guides are useful and which need revision
- Displaying advertising that may reflect visitor interests
- Routing a search entry to the provider selected by the tool
No Criminal-Record Data on File
This site does not build, keep, or sell a database of personal criminal records. Its Boise County guides identify official sources such as the Sheriff's Records Section, the county courts, the Idaho State Police Bureau of Criminal Identification, and the Idaho Sex Offender Registry. Boise County Criminal History is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act. Visitor information is not compiled into a consumer report or a file about another person.
Third-Party Search Partners
Independent companies operate the search boxes shown on this site. Their privacy terms, retention periods, and disclosure practices govern any entry sent to them. This policy does not control those companies, so their terms should be reviewed before a search is submitted.
Links to Other Websites
Links may lead to Boise County offices, Idaho court and agency sites, legal-aid resources, or outside search services. Once a visitor leaves this website, the destination's own privacy policy applies. Review it before providing personal information.
Some advertising providers may use activity across websites to select ads. That processing occurs through the provider's systems rather than this site's records.
Who Might See Your Data
Personal data is not sold. Limited information may be available to:
- Analytics vendors that measure use and site performance
- Search providers that process a query sent through their tool
- Advertising networks that serve material on the pages
- Government or law-enforcement authorities acting under a valid legal demand
How We Protect Your Data
Reasonable, standard safeguards are used for information collected by this site. No internet system can be guaranteed secure, however, and the site cannot promise that unauthorized access or a breach will never occur.
Users Under 18
The site is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone younger than 18. If data from a minor is identified, it may be requested for deletion.
Your Data Rights
Rights can vary by residence and applicable law. Idaho's Consumer Protection Act, Idaho Code title 48, chapter 6, and other applicable privacy rules may affect a particular request. Subject to those laws, a visitor may:
- Object to certain forms of processing
- Request deletion of eligible personal data
- Ask that inaccurate information be corrected
- Request access to personal information held about that visitor
Updates to This Policy
This policy may be revised as practices or legal requirements change. A revised version becomes available on this page and carries an updated effective date.
Effective date: July 19, 2026
