Privacy Policy

This policy describes the information collected during a visit, the reasons it is used, and the limited circumstances in which others may receive it. By using New London County Criminal History, you consent to the practices stated below.

Data You Give Us Directly

Search Queries

A name or place entered in a search tool is sent directly to the outside company operating that tool. The 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 may keep an email you send for the purpose of responding. It remains within our organization unless disclosure is required by law.

Data We Gather Automatically

Our servers automatically receive certain technical information when a page loads:

  • Page-view timestamps
  • Your device type and operating system
  • The referring site, when one is available
  • Your device's assigned IP address
  • Pages viewed and the time spent on them
  • Your browser type and version

Cookies and Analytics

Cookies are small files saved on a device. We use them with analytics services to understand traffic patterns, including popular pages and where visits end. You may block cookies through your browser, although doing so can change how parts of the site function.

What We Do With This Data

  • Finding and correcting technical problems
  • Operating the site and maintaining its performance
  • Displaying advertising that may reflect your interests
  • Routing a search request to the selected partner
  • Learning which pages are useful and which require improvement

No Criminal-Record Data on File

We do not maintain, assemble, or sell a database of personal criminal records. Our content identifies how New London County records are divided among municipal 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 information is not used to create consumer reports or third-party criminal-record files.

Third-Party Search Partners

Outside companies operate the search boxes. Their own privacy policies govern submitted data, including retention and sharing choices that we do not control. Review the applicable provider policy before running a query.

Links to Other Websites

Links may lead to municipal police pages, Connecticut court and agency portals, legal-aid resources, or outside search services. Once you leave this site, the destination's privacy policy controls. Read that policy before providing personal information.

Some advertising partners may use their own systems to track activity across websites and select targeted ads.

Who Might See Your Data

Personal data is not sold. It may be disclosed to:

  • Analytics providers measuring traffic and site performance
  • Search partners processing a query you choose to submit
  • Government or law-enforcement bodies when a valid legal order compels disclosure
  • Advertising networks serving ads on the site

How We Protect Your Data

We use customary security measures to protect collected data. No internet service is completely secure, however, so we cannot guarantee that a breach will never occur.

Users Under 18

The site is intended for adults, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If we learn that a minor supplied such data, we will delete it.

Your Data Rights

Rights may vary with your residence and applicable exemptions. Connecticut public-record access is governed by the Connecticut Freedom of Information Act, C.G.S. §§ 1-200 through 1-242, while State Police criminal-history dissemination is addressed by C.G.S. § 29-11. Where applicable law grants the right, you may ask to:

  • Delete personal data where the law provides that right
  • Obtain a copy of personal data held about you
  • Opt out of qualifying forms of data processing
  • Correct inaccurate personal information

Updates to This Policy

We may revise this policy. A revised version will appear here with a new effective date, so review this page periodically for current practices.

Effective date: July 17, 2026
