The Jefferson County Sheriff's Office respects your privacy. This page explains what we collect and how we use it.
What We Collect
When You Contact Us
If you submit a form or send us a message, we collect your name, contact information, and the content of your message. We use this to respond to you.
When You Visit
We collect anonymized data to improve website performance:
- Pages visited (no personal identifiers)
- Page load times and performance metrics
- Browser and device type
This data cannot identify you personally. We use Vercel Analytics and Speed Insights for this purpose.
When You Watch Videos
Some pages include videos hosted by Mux. When you play a video, Mux collects viewing data like play time and video quality. See Mux's privacy policy for details.
When You Use Interactive Maps
Some pages include interactive maps powered by Esri's ArcGIS platform. When you view a map, your browser loads basemap tiles from Esri's servers and public geographic data from Jefferson County GIS servers. No personal information is sent to these services beyond standard connection metadata (such as your IP address and browser type). No login or API key is required. See Esri's privacy policy for details.
Error Reporting and Performance
We use Sentry to monitor website errors and performance. When an error occurs or during routine performance monitoring, Sentry collects:
- Error details and stack traces
- Browser and device type
- Page performance metrics
Sentry may also record anonymized session replays for debugging purposes. All visible text is masked in these recordings to protect your privacy. No personally identifiable information is collected. See Sentry's privacy policy for details.
What We Don't Collect
We don't use advertising cookies. We don't use Google Analytics. We don't track you across websites.
Our homepage shows posts from our X (Twitter) account. We fetch this data on our server—no Twitter code runs in your browser. Twitter learns nothing about your visit unless you click through to X.com.
Public Records
As a government agency, information you submit to us may become a public record under the Colorado Open Records Act (CORA).
Security
We use industry-standard security measures to protect your information. No internet transmission is completely secure.
Children
This website is not intended for children under 13. We don't knowingly collect information from children.
Changes
We update this policy as needed. Changes appear on this page with a new date.
