If you send an email or contact-form message, we retain the information needed to answer it. We do not share the message outside our organization unless disclosure is required by law.

Sites Beyond Our Control
Links may lead to Santa Clara County jail searches, Sheriff and corrections pages, booking information, government portals, and outside search services. Once you leave this site, the destination's own privacy policy controls its collection and use of data.

- Advertising networks that deliver or assess ads.
- Law enforcement or another government body acting under a valid legal order.
