Information You Submit
Search Queries
When you type a name, location, date of birth, SBI number, A-number, BOP register number, complaint number, or similar identifier into a third-party search tool, that query is sent to the provider that operates the tool. This site does not keep its own database of those search terms.
Messages and Contact Submissions
If you send an email or contact message, the information in that message may be kept long enough to review it and respond. Contact messages are not shared outside the organization except when required by law or needed to protect the site.

- IP address.
- Browser type and version.
- Device type and operating system.
- Pages viewed and approximate time on page.
- Referring website, if one is available.
- Date and time stamps.
Cookies
Cookies and similar tools may be used to understand site traffic, measure page use, support advertising, and maintain basic functionality. You can block cookies in your browser settings, although some features or partner tools may work differently when cookies are disabled.
