Effective Date: October 10, 2026
Who We Are. GotLockedUp.com (the “Website”) is an independent informational website owned and operated by The Road Not Given LLC (“we,” “us,” or “our”). We publish general guides to county jails, inmate-search resources, and related public information. We are not affiliated with any jail, sheriff's office, court, correctional agency, or government entity.
This Privacy Policy explains how information may be collected, used, and shared when you visit https://gotlockedup.com/.
1. Information We Collect
Information you provide: If you contact us by email or through a contact form, we may receive your name, email address, and any information you choose to include in your message. Please do not submit Social Security numbers, payment-card details, medical records, or sensitive information about an incarcerated person.
Information collected automatically: When you browse the Website, technical information may be collected, such as your IP address, approximate location derived from your connection, device and browser information, referring pages, pages visited, and interaction data. Collection depends on the technologies and settings active on the Website and your browser.
2. Google Analytics And MonsterInsights
We use, or may use, Google Analytics 4 through the MonsterInsights WordPress plugin to understand how visitors find and use the Website. Analytics tools may use cookies or similar technologies and may process information about visits, devices, and interactions. We use this information to measure traffic, identify technical issues, and improve our content.
Google processes information according to its own terms and privacy practices. Learn more at Google's Privacy Policy. You may also explore the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
3. Cookies And Similar Technologies
Our Website and service providers may use cookies or comparable browser technologies for essential site functions, security, performance measurement, and analytics. You can manage or delete cookies using your browser settings. Blocking some cookies may affect certain site features.
If we introduce additional advertising, analytics, or consent-management technologies, we will review and update this policy and any required consent controls accordingly.

We do not operate an inmate lookup database and do not request personal information to conduct official custody searches.
5. External Government And Third-Party Websites
Our guides link to official government websites and other third-party services, including inmate-search portals, visitation platforms, and payment services. When you follow an external link, you leave GotLockedUp.com. The destination site's privacy policy and practices apply to your activity there. We do not control how those organizations collect or process information.
Before entering personal information or making a payment, verify that you are using the appropriate official agency or its authorized provider.
6. Sharing And Disclosure
We may share limited information with service providers that help operate the Website, such as hosting, analytics, security, and email providers, as necessary for their services. We may also disclose information when legally required, to protect rights and safety, or in connection with a legitimate business transfer subject to applicable law.
We do not sell personal information submitted through direct inquiries to data brokers. This statement does not by itself determine how every applicable privacy law classifies analytics cookies or other third-party technologies.
7. Data Retention And Security
We retain information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described here, including answering inquiries, maintaining records, and complying with legal requirements. Retention periods may vary by information type and service provider.
We use reasonable measures intended to protect information, but no internet transmission or storage system can be guaranteed completely secure.
8. Your Privacy Choices And Rights
You may control cookies through your browser and use available Google Analytics opt-out tools. Depending on where you live and which privacy laws apply, you may have rights to request access, correction, deletion, or other limitations concerning your personal information. We will evaluate requests under applicable law and may need to verify your identity before responding.
