Privacy Policy

This policy describes the information collected during a visit, why it is used, and the limited circumstances in which it may be disclosed. By using the website, you consent to these practices.

Data You Give Us Directly

Search Queries

A name or place entered in a search tool is sent directly to the outside provider that operates it. That provider processes the query and supplies its results. We do not retain or log those search terms on our systems.

Messages and Contact Submissions

We retain an email message when needed to respond. It remains within our organization unless disclosure is required by law.

Data We Gather Automatically

Our servers automatically receive basic technical information whenever a page loads:

  • 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. Together with analytics services, they help produce aggregate traffic measures such as popular pages and exit points. Browser controls can block cookies, although some site functions may then behave differently.

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 Criminal-Record Data on File

This site does not keep, assemble, or sell a database of personal criminal-record information. It explains how New Britain records may be requested from New Britain Police, Connecticut Superior Court, DESPP's State Police Bureau of Identification, CT DOC, and the Connecticut Sex Offender Registry. We are not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, and visitor data is not compiled into consumer reports or third-party dossiers.

Third-Party Search Partners

Outside companies operate the site's search boxes. Information entered there is governed by the provider's privacy policy, including its retention and disclosure rules. Review those terms before submitting a query because we do not control them.

Links to Other Websites

Links may lead to New Britain Police, Connecticut court portals, state agencies, legal-aid resources, or outside search services. Once you leave this site, the destination's privacy policy governs. Read it before providing personal information.

Some advertising partners may track activity across websites to tailor ads. That activity occurs on their systems rather than ours.

Who Might See Your Data

Personal data is not sold. Limited information may be disclosed to:

  • 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 service is completely secure, 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 under 18. If such information is identified, it may be requested for deletion.

Your Data Rights

Depending on residence and the facts, Connecticut consumer-protection law, including the Connecticut Data Privacy Act, Conn. Gen. Stat. §§ 42-515 through 42-526, may provide additional rights. Available requests may include:

  • 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. An updated version and effective date will be posted here when changes take effect.

Effective date: July 17, 2026
