Terms Entered in Search
A name, location, or other detail entered into a search box is sent to the third-party company that operates that search tool. Washington County Recent Arrests does not keep or log those search terms on its own systems. The provider handles the query under its own terms and privacy policy.
Messages Sent to Us
If you send an email or use a contact form, we retain the message and the details you supplied so we can answer. We do not share those messages outside our organization unless disclosure is required by law.

Cookies and Similar Tools
Cookies may be used to understand how visitors move through the site and to support site functions. You can limit or block cookies through browser settings. Some features may work differently or may not function when cookies are disabled.

Links and Outside Services
Washington County Recent Arrests links to the WCSO roster and intake records, Arkansas courts, the Arkansas Department of Corrections, federal or ICE custody tools, local agencies, and outside search services. Once you leave this site, the destination’s privacy policy and data practices apply.
Advertising providers may use their own systems to recognize activity across websites and tailor ads. That tracking occurs through the provider’s technology and is governed by its policies, not by the public-record rules that govern Arkansas agency files.
Parties That May Receive Data
We do not sell personal information. Data may still be handled by limited service categories needed to run the site or meet a legal duty:
- Search partners that process submitted queries.
- Analytics providers that measure site use.
- Advertising networks that deliver or assess ads.
- Law enforcement or government authorities acting under a valid legal order.
Security Has Practical Limits
We use customary safeguards suited to the information and services involved. Still, no website, network, or internet transmission can be guaranteed fully secure. We cannot promise that a breach, loss, or unauthorized access will never occur.
Visitors Younger Than 18
This site is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If a minor submitted personal data, a parent or guardian may ask that it be deleted.
Your Privacy Choices
Subject to applicable law and our ability to verify a request, you may:
- Ask for a copy of personal data we hold about you.
- Request correction of inaccurate personal information.
- Ask that personal information be erased.
- Object to or opt out of certain processing where that choice applies.
These rights concern information held by this private site. Requests involving an official Washington County booking file are governed by the responsible custodian and the Arkansas Freedom of Information Act, Ark. Code Ann. §§ 25-19-101 et seq., not by this privacy notice.
Changes to This Notice
We may revise this privacy notice when practices, providers, or legal requirements change. The updated version will appear on this page with a new effective date.
