Purposes for Using Data
Collected information may be used to operate and improve this Trinity County reference site.

Privacy Beyond This Site
Links may lead to the Trinity County Sheriff, California VINE, CDCR, court and federal portals, news sources, or outside search tools. Once a visitor leaves this site, the destination’s privacy policy and terms govern the visit.
Advertising partners may use their own technology to follow activity across websites and select ads. That processing occurs on the partner’s systems, not on this site’s records.
When Data May Be Shared
We do not sell personal information. Data may nevertheless be handled by:
- Search partners processing submitted queries
- Analytics providers measuring site traffic
- Advertising networks delivering ads
- Law enforcement or another government body acting under a valid legal order
Security Measures and Limits
We use customary safeguards appropriate to a public website. No internet transmission or connected system can be guaranteed completely secure, so we cannot promise that a breach will never occur.
Visitors Under Age 18
This site is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal data from anyone younger than 18. If a minor has submitted information, a parent or guardian may use the Contact Us page to request deletion.
Available Privacy Requests
California privacy rights may arise under the California Consumer Privacy Act, as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act, California Civil Code sections 1798.100 through 1798.199.100. Whether a right applies depends on the request, the data, and the law’s coverage. A visitor may ask us to:
- Provide a copy of personal information we hold
- Correct inaccurate personal information
- Delete eligible personal information
- Stop certain forms of processing where an opt-out right applies
We may need enough information to verify the requester and locate the relevant data. A request does not require us to delete material that the law permits or requires us to retain.
Changes to This Notice
We may revise this privacy notice as site practices or legal requirements change. A revision becomes available on this page with an updated effective date.
