Outside Sites and Advertising
Links may lead to sheriff, jail, court, corrections, government, and third-party search services. Once you leave, the destination’s privacy policy controls its collection and use of data.
Advertising partners may use their own technology to follow activity across websites and choose interest-based ads. That tracking occurs on their systems, not as a Washington County government function.

We do not sell personal information. Data may be provided only to parties needed to run the service or meet a legal duty.
- Search partners that process submitted queries
- Analytics providers that measure site use
- Advertising networks that deliver ads
- Law-enforcement or government authorities acting under a valid legal order
Security Practices
Reasonable administrative and technical safeguards are used to protect information. No internet-connected service can promise that a breach, loss, or unauthorized access will never occur.
Adults Only
