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. Accessing Yuba County Criminal History signifies acceptance of these practices.

Data You Give Us Directly

Search Queries

A name or place entered in a search box is transmitted to the outside provider that operates that tool. The provider processes the query and supplies its results. Yuba County Criminal History does not keep or log those search terms on its own system.

Messages and Contact Submissions

An email or other direct message may be retained long enough to respond and maintain the related correspondence. It remains within the operating team unless disclosure is required by law.

Data We Gather Automatically

Loading a page may cause the server to receive ordinary technical and usage details, 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 are small files placed on a device. They and outside analytics services help combine traffic data, such as popular pages and common exit points. Browser controls can reject cookies, although doing so may alter 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 Criminal-Record Data on File

Yuba County Criminal History does not assemble, store, or sell a database of personal criminal records. Its published material identifies official access routes for Yuba County custodians, Superior Court, California DOJ, and the California Megan's Law Website. Usage data is not converted into a criminal dossier or consumer report. This service is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act.

Third-Party Search Partners

Outside companies operate the search tools. Information submitted through a tool is governed by that provider's privacy policy rather than this policy. Each provider chooses its retention and disclosure practices, so review those terms before entering a query.

Links to Other Websites

Links may lead to Yuba County offices, court portals, California agencies, legal resources, and commercial search tools. Once a visitor follows an external link, the destination's privacy rules apply. Review them before providing personal information.

Advertising providers may use their own systems to measure activity across websites and select ads. Their tracking is controlled by their policies.

Who Might See Your Data

Personal data is not sold. Limited information may be available to:

  • 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 are used for collected data. No internet-connected service can guarantee absolute security, however, so protection against every breach cannot be promised.

Users Under 18

The service is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. A verified request concerning a minor's submitted information will be handled by deleting that data.

Your Data Rights

Rights vary by residence and applicable law. For California residents, the California Consumer Privacy Act, Civil Code § 1798.100 et seq., may provide rights concerning access, correction, deletion, and certain uses of personal data. Available requests can include:

  • 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 be revised as practices or legal requirements change. A revision becomes available in this same section with an updated effective date.

Effective date: July 16, 2026
