Privacy Policy

This policy describes the information collected during a visit, the reasons it is used, and the limited circumstances in which another party may receive it. By using the Beaver County Criminal History website, you accept these practices.

Data You Give Us Directly

Search Queries

A name or place entered into a search tool is sent to the outside provider that operates that feature. The provider processes the query and supplies its results. We do not keep or log those search terms on our systems.

Messages and Contact Submissions

An email or direct message may be retained long enough to respond and manage the correspondence. It remains within our organization unless disclosure is required by law.

Data We Gather Automatically

Our systems automatically receive basic technical details when a page loads:

  • Page-view times and the pages visited
  • Device type, operating system, and browser version
  • The referring site, when one is reported
  • The device's assigned IP address
  • Approximate time spent on each page

Cookies and Analytics

Cookies are small files placed on a device. They help aggregate traffic patterns, such as popular pages and common exit points, through analytics services. Browser controls can block cookies, though doing so may change how some features work.

What We Do With This Data

  • Route a submitted query to the selected search partner
  • Diagnose technical faults and maintain site performance
  • Measure which pages readers use and where content needs work
  • Display advertising that may reflect visitor interests
  • Keep the website available and responsive

No Criminal-Record Data on File

We do not maintain, assemble, or sell a database of personal criminal records. Beaver County guidance points to Sheriff's Records, the criminal courts, the Utah Department of Public Safety Bureau of Criminal Identification, and the Utah Sex and Kidnap Offender Registry. Visitor information is not compiled into a consumer report or a third-party criminal file, 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 and apply their own privacy rules to submitted data. Their retention, use, and disclosure choices are beyond our control. Read the provider's policy before running a query.

Links to Other Websites

Links may lead to Beaver County offices, Utah courts, state agencies, legal resources, or search services. Once you leave this site, the destination's privacy policy controls. Review it before providing personal details.

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

Who Might See Your Data

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

  • Analytics providers measuring traffic and performance
  • Search providers handling a query you submit
  • Advertising networks serving ads on the pages
  • A government or law-enforcement body acting under a valid legal order

How We Protect Your Data

Reasonable security practices are used to protect collected data. No internet system can guarantee perfect security, so we cannot promise that unauthorized access will never occur.

Users Under 18

The website is intended for adults, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. Information identified as belonging to a minor will be removed when properly brought to our attention.

Your Data Rights

Applicable privacy law may provide added rights based on where you live. Utah's Government Records Access and Management Act governs government-held records, while Utah Code §53-10-108 limits dissemination of state criminal-history data. Those laws do not turn this private website into a government record custodian. At a minimum, you may:

  • Request access to personal data held about you
  • Ask that inaccurate personal data be corrected
  • Seek deletion where applicable law permits it
  • Decline certain forms of data processing where a right applies

Updates to This Policy

This policy may be revised. An updated version and effective date will appear here when a change is made.

Effective date: August 10, 2026
