Information You Submit
Search Entries
A name, place, or other term entered into a search box is sent to the third-party company that operates that tool. This site does not store or log those search terms on its own systems. The provider's policy controls its handling of the query.
Messages
If you send an email or contact submission, the message and reply details may be retained so we can answer. They are not shared outside the organization unless disclosure is required by law.
Technical Data Collected Automatically
Routine service logs and analytics may receive technical details when a page loads, including:
- Internet Protocol address;
- browser name and version;
- device type and operating system;
- pages viewed and time spent on them;
- the referring site, when supplied; and
- the date and time of the visit.
Cookies
Cookies may help measure how visitors use the site and support site functions. Browser controls can block or remove cookies, although some features may then work differently.
How Data Is Used
- Operate the site and maintain reasonable speed.
- Send a submitted search to the selected partner service.
- Understand which guides visitors find useful.
- Diagnose errors and security or performance problems.
- Display advertising that may reflect a visitor's interests.
Other Websites and Advertising
Links may lead to SmartWEB, Glades County offices, Florida corrections resources, court portals, federal locators, and outside search tools. Once a visitor leaves this site, the destination's privacy policy controls its collection and use of information.
Advertising companies may use their own technology to measure activity across websites or select targeted ads. That processing occurs through their systems and is subject to their policies.
Parties That May Receive Data
We do not sell personal information. Limited data may be received by:
- search partners that process submitted queries;
- analytics vendors that measure site use;
- advertising networks serving or measuring ads; and
- law-enforcement agencies or other government bodies when a valid legal order requires disclosure.
Security Limits
Reasonable, standard safeguards are used for information under this site's control. No internet transmission or connected storage system can be guaranteed breach-proof, so absolute security is not promised.
Visitors Under 18
This site is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. A parent or guardian who believes a minor submitted information may use the Contact & Records Help page to request deletion.
Your Privacy Choices
Subject to applicable law and the limits of the data held, a person may ask to:
- receive a copy of personal information held by this site;
- correct inaccurate personal information;
- erase personal information; or
- opt out of certain processing.
These choices concern information controlled by this site. A Glades County public record is controlled by the government custodian, and data entered into an outside search tool is governed by that provider.
Changes to This Policy
These privacy practices may be revised as the site or applicable requirements change. A revision will be posted on this page with an updated effective date.
