Data You Give Us Directly
Search Queries
Information entered into a search box, such as a name or date of birth, is sent to the outside provider operating that tool. The provider processes the query and returns its results. The site does not keep or log those search terms on its own systems.
Messages and Contact Submissions
A message sent to us is retained so the team can respond. It is kept within the organization unless a legal duty requires disclosure to someone else.
Data We Gather Automatically
When a page loads, server logs may record technical details about the visit, including:
- The time and date of each page view
- The referring page or site, when one is available
- Your device's internet protocol address
- The browser and browser version in use
- The type of device and its operating system
- Which pages opened and the time spent on them
Cookies and Analytics
Small cookie files may be stored on your device. They help us understand broad use patterns, such as which pages attract visits and where sessions end. Analytics providers can combine traffic information for reporting. You can block cookies in your browser settings, though some site features may then work differently.
What We Do With This Data
- Reviewing which pages are useful and where content can improve
- Keeping pages available and responsive
- Passing a search query to the provider that runs its box
- Diagnosing and correcting site problems
- Displaying advertising that may reflect visitor interests
No Warrant Data on File
This service does not store, assemble, or sell warrant databases or records about individual warrant subjects. Massachusetts WMS is a restricted Trial Court system, and MassCourts provides limited public docket access; the site describes those boundaries and directs readers to official sources. Visitor information is not turned into a consumer report or a collection of warrant records about other people. This service is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act.
Third-Party Search Partners
Outside companies operate some of the search boxes. When you enter information there, the provider's privacy policy governs its handling of the query. Each provider sets its own retention and sharing terms, which are beyond our control. Read that policy before you send information.
Links to Other Websites
Links on these pages may lead to Massachusetts court resources, public agency sites, county references, legal-aid services, or commercial search providers. Once you leave this site, the destination's privacy terms apply. Review them before sharing personal information. Court records follow rules separate from the privacy terms of this private service: Massachusetts Public Records Law, M.G.L. c.66, applies to eligible records held by public agencies, while Trial Court records are also governed by court-access rules.
Some advertising companies may use their own systems to follow activity across websites and select ads. We do not run that tracking.
Who Might See Your Data
Personal information is not sold by this site. It may be received by:
- Government or law-enforcement authorities when a valid legal order requires disclosure
- Companies that provide analytics about site use
- Advertising networks whose ads appear on these pages
- Search providers that receive a query submitted through their tool
How We Protect Your Data
Reasonable security measures are used to protect information handled by the site. Internet systems cannot be guaranteed free of risk, so no promise can be made that an incident will never occur.
Users Under 18
The intended audience is adults, and the site does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If you believe a minor has provided information, contact us so it can be reviewed and removed.
Your Data Rights
Massachusetts Public Records Law, M.G.L. c.66, ยง10, concerns records held by public agencies. It does not make this private service's visitor data part of a public warrant search; Trial Court records also follow court-access rules. For personal information this service holds, you may ask to:
- Receive a copy of information we hold about you
- Correct a detail that is inaccurate
- Ask us to delete your information
- Decline certain data uses
Updates to This Policy
This policy may be revised as site practices change. A new version and effective date will appear here when that happens. Review it from time to time if you want to see the current handling terms.
Effective date: September 24, 2026
