Data You Give Us Directly
Search Queries
A name, birth date, or other query entered into a search tool is sent directly to the outside provider operating that feature. The provider processes the request and supplies its results; we do not keep a local log of those search terms.
Messages and Contact Submissions
Email messages are retained as needed to prepare a response. They remain within our organization unless disclosure is required by law.
Data We Gather Automatically
Loading a page may cause our servers to receive routine technical information about the visit:
- 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 to help us understand site use, including popular pages and exit points. Analytics providers aggregate this traffic information. Browser controls can block cookies, although doing so may change 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 Warrant Data on File
This site does not host, maintain, compile, or sell warrant databases or personal warrant records. It provides general directions to the Wayne County Sheriff's Office, Indiana MyCase, and the Wayne County Circuit and Superior Courts. We are not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, and visitor information is not assembled into consumer reports or records about other people.
Third-Party Search Partners
Outside companies power the search boxes. Their privacy policies, retention rules, and disclosure practices govern information submitted through those tools, and we do not control those choices. Review the applicable provider policy before searching.
Links to Other Websites
Links may lead to the Wayne County Sheriff's Office, Indiana court portals, legal-aid resources, or outside search services. Once you leave this site, the destination's privacy policy applies; read it before providing personal information.
Some advertising providers may use their own systems to follow activity across websites for targeted advertising.
Who Might See Your Data
Personal data is not sold. Information may nevertheless be received by:
- 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, standard safeguards are used for collected data. No internet system is completely secure, however, so we cannot guarantee that 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 we learn that a minor supplied data, we will delete it.
Your Data Rights
Applicable Indiana privacy and consumer-protection law may provide additional rights concerning personal data. The Indiana Access to Public Records Act (APRA), Indiana Code 5-14-3, governs access to records held by public agencies; it does not turn this private site's visitor data into an official court record. At a minimum, you can:
- 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. A replacement will appear on this page with a revised effective date, so review it periodically for changes in our practices.
Effective date: September 12, 2026
