Privacy Policy

This policy describes the information collected when someone visits Uintah County Criminal History, the reasons it may be used, and the limited circumstances in which another provider may receive it. The policy applies to this privately operated site, not to Uintah County, Utah Courts, BCI, or any other government website reached through an outbound link. Continued use of the site means acceptance of these practices.

Data You Give Us Directly

Search Queries

A name or place entered in a search box is sent directly to the outside company that operates that tool. The provider processes the query and supplies its own results. We do not keep or log those search words on our systems.

Messages and Contact Submissions

An email or other direct message may be retained long enough to review and answer it. We keep that communication within our organization unless disclosure is required by law.

Data We Gather Automatically

Our systems receive standard technical details when a visitor loads a page:

  • Page-view dates and times
  • Browser name and version
  • Device category and operating system
  • Device IP address
  • Pages viewed and approximate time spent
  • The referring website, when one is supplied

Cookies and Analytics

Cookies are small files stored through a browser. They help show broad use patterns, such as which pages draw visits and where sessions end. Analytics providers combine that traffic information for us. A visitor may block cookies through browser settings, though some site functions may then work differently.

What We Do With This Data

  • Routing a search query to the selected outside provider
  • Maintaining site availability, speed, and security
  • Finding and repairing technical faults
  • Measuring which reference pages are used
  • Displaying advertising that may reflect visitor interests

No Criminal-Record Data on File

Uintah County Criminal History does not maintain, assemble, or sell a database of personal criminal records. Its reference material points to Uintah County Jail, Utah Courts, the Utah Department of Public Safety Bureau of Criminal Identification, UDC, and the Utah Sex, Kidnap, and Child Abuse Offender Registry. Visitor information is not turned into a consumer report or a file about another person. This site is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act.

Third-Party Search Partners

Outside companies operate the search boxes. Their privacy notices, retention periods, and disclosure practices govern any query submitted to them. We do not control those rules. Read the provider's policy before entering information.

Links to Other Websites

Links may lead to Uintah County offices, Vernal or Naples pages, Utah Courts, BCI, other state agencies, legal resources, or outside search tools. The destination's own privacy policy applies after a visitor leaves this site. Review it before giving that site personal information.

An advertising provider may use its own technology to measure activity across websites and select ads. That processing occurs under the provider's controls.

Who Might See Your Data

We do not sell personal information. Limited data may be available to:

  • Analytics vendors that measure traffic and performance
  • Outside search providers that receive a submitted query
  • Advertising networks that serve material on the pages
  • A government body or law-enforcement office acting under a valid legal demand

How We Protect Your Data

Reasonable safeguards are used for information under our control. No internet-connected service can promise absolute security, so we cannot guarantee that unauthorized access or loss will never occur.

Users Under 18

The site is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from a person under 18. If such information is identified, we will remove it.

Your Data Rights

Rights can vary by residence and applicable law. Utah's Government Records Access and Management Act, Utah Code Title 63G, Chapter 2, governs access to government records, not this private site's visitor data. Utah Code §53-10-108 separately limits BCI criminal-history dissemination. Subject to the law that applies to a request, a visitor may:

  • Ask what personal information we retain about the visitor
  • Request correction of inaccurate retained information
  • Seek deletion where the law permits it
  • Object to certain processing where an applicable law provides that choice

Updates to This Policy

This policy may be revised as services or legal duties change. A new version becomes available here with its revised effective date.

Effective date: August 10, 2026
