This Privacy Policy explains how Florida DUI Records collects, uses, stores, and protects your personal data when you search for DUI arrest records, Florida DUI conviction records, or any Florida DUI case lookup on our site. By using our platform, you agree to the terms described below.
We respect your privacy and follow Florida state law and federal law that apply to public records and personal data.
Who We Are and What This Site Covers
Florida DUI Records is a search platform that helps users perform a Florida DUI court records search, Florida DUI background check, and Florida public DUI records lookups. Our tools connect you to public databases managed by the Florida Department of Highway Safety, county clerk of court offices, and other official agencies. This Privacy Policy applies only to our site, not to third-party websites we link to.
Scope of This Privacy Policy
This policy covers all data collected when you visit our site, run a Florida DUI record search free, or contact our support team. It does not cover data you share directly with the Florida Department of Highway Safety, FLHSMV, or any Florida county clerk of court. Those agencies operate under their own privacy rules and policies.
What Type of Site You Are Using
Our site is a search aggregator. It does not own the Florida statewide DUI database. It does not create Florida DUI case number lookup data. It does not maintain Florida misdemeanor DUI records on its own servers. Our role is to help you search official sources faster through Florida DUI history check tools and Florida DUI dispositions lookup services.
What Data We Collect From You
We collect two types of data. The first type is what you give us directly when you fill out a search form or contact us. The second type is what our system records automatically as you browse the site.
Data You Give Us Directly
When you perform a search Florida DUI records by name or Florida DUI citation records search, you may enter a full name, date of birth, or case number. You may also share an email address if you sign up for case alerts or saved searches. We use this data only to complete your request and improve our search results.
- Full name entered in the search bar
- Date of birth (optional, helps narrow results)
- Florida DUI case number (when provided)
- Email address for account alerts
- Phone number (only if you request a callback)
- Messages you send through our contact form
Data We Collect Automatically
Our servers automatically log basic technical data every time you load a page. This data helps us keep the site fast, fix bugs, and protect against fraud. It also helps us understand which Florida county DUI records search pages get the most use.
- IP address
- Browser type and version
- Device type and operating system
- Pages you visit on our site
- Time spent on each page
- Referring website or search engine
- Date and time of your visit
Cookies and Tracking Tools
We use cookies, web beacons, and similar tracking tools to remember your settings, measure traffic, and show relevant ads. You can block cookies through your browser settings. If you block them, some features like saved searches or Florida DUI record search official site shortcuts may not work properly.
How We Use Your Data
We use your data for clear, specific reasons tied to running a legal, useful Florida DUI records search service. We never sell your personal data to data brokers or third parties for unrelated marketing.
To Deliver Search Results
When you run a Florida DUI case lookup, we send your search query to our licensed data partners. These partners pull results from the FLHSMV driving record DUI database, county clerk portals, and Florida traffic court DUI records systems. We do not store the search content on our own servers after the query completes.
To Improve Site Performance
We study traffic patterns to see which Florida DUI dispositions lookup pages users visit most. This helps us fix broken links, speed up page loads, and add missing county coverage like Orange County Florida DUI records, Miami-Dade County DUI court records, and Hillsborough County DUI records search pages.
To Prevent Fraud and Abuse
We monitor for bots, scrapers, and users who try to misuse our tools to run bulk Florida DUI criminal records searches against Florida public DUI records in ways that violate our terms. We log IP addresses and device fingerprints for this purpose only.
To Respond to Legal Requests
If we receive a valid subpoena, court order, or Florida public records law request, we may share basic account data with law enforcement. We do not voluntarily share user data with police or government agencies unless legally required.
How We Share Your Data
We do not sell your personal data. We do share limited data with trusted partners who help us run the site. Each partner is bound by strict contracts that match this Privacy Policy.
Search Data Partners
To complete your Florida DUI history check, we pass your search inputs (name, DOB, case number) to licensed public records aggregators. These partners query official Florida DUI case number lookup databases and return results to us. They may log your IP address briefly to prevent abuse.
Analytics Providers
We use analytics tools to count visitors, measure page speed, and track how users move through our Florida DUI citation records pages. These tools may set cookies or read device identifiers.
Advertising Partners
We show ads from third-party ad networks. These networks may use cookies to show ads based on your visit to our site or other sites. You can opt out through your browser settings or by visiting the Network Advertising Initiative opt-out page.
Legal and Safety Disclosures
We share data when we believe in good faith that it is needed to:
- Comply with Florida or federal law
- Respond to a court order or subpoena
- Protect our users from fraud or harm
- Defend our legal rights in court
How We Protect Your Data
We use industry-standard security to protect the data we collect. No system is perfect, but we take strong steps to reduce risk.
Encryption and Secure Transmission
All data sent between your browser and our site travels over HTTPS using TLS 1.2 or higher. This stops outsiders from reading your Florida DUI background check searches while in transit.
Access Controls
Only a small number of trained staff can access user data. Each access requires a password and two-factor authentication. We log every access for review.
Data Retention
We keep search logs for up to 90 days for security and debugging. After that, we delete them. Account data stays until you delete your account or after 24 months of inactivity, whichever comes first.
Third-Party Security Audits
We run annual security audits through certified third parties. These audits check our code, servers, and partner connections. Any serious finding gets fixed within 30 days.
Your Rights and Choices
You have clear rights over the data we hold about you. This section explains what you can do and how to do it.
Right to Access Your Data
You can ask us for a copy of all personal data we hold about you. We will send it within 30 days. Email your request to our privacy team using the contact details at the bottom of this page.
Right to Correct Wrong Data
If you see errors in your account data, tell us. We will fix factual mistakes within 15 days. We cannot change official Florida DUI conviction records or Florida misdemeanor DUI records held by the court.
Right to Delete Your Data
You can ask us to delete your account and all data tied to it. We will do this within 30 days, except where Florida public records law requires us to keep certain logs.
Right to Opt Out of Marketing
You can unsubscribe from our emails at any time by clicking the link at the bottom of any message. You can opt out of personalized ads through your browser or the Digital Advertising Alliance tool.
Rights Under Florida Law
Florida law gives you extra rights when data brokers handle your personal data. You can ask us not to sell your data and to limit how we share it with search partners. We honor all valid Florida rights requests.
Rights Under GDPR and CCPA
If you live in the European Union, the United Kingdom, or California, you have extra rights. These include data portability, restriction of processing, and the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection authority. Contact us to exercise any of these rights.
Children Under 18
Our site is not for anyone under 18. We do not knowingly collect data from minors. Florida law treats DUI cases involving minors under a special court system, and those records are not available through our standard Florida DUI records search tools.
How We Handle Minor Data
If we learn that we collected data from someone under 18, we delete it within 7 days. Parents or guardians who believe their child shared data with us can contact us for fast removal.
Florida Public Records and DUI Data
Florida DUI arrest records, Florida DUI conviction records, and Florida traffic court DUI records are public records under Florida law. Our site only helps you search these public records. We do not add, remove, or alter official data.
Where DUI Records Come From
We pull data from official sources including:
- Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles (FLHSMV)
- Florida county clerk of court DUI records portals
- Florida statewide DUI database maintained by the state
- Individual county court systems (Broward County DUI case lookup, Palm Beach County DUI records, Duval County Jacksonville DUI records, Pinellas County DUI court records, Lee County DUI records search)
What We Do Not Collect
We do not collect Social Security numbers, credit card data (for paid features, we use a PCI-compliant third-party processor), or biometric data. We do not ask for driver license numbers unless a specific Florida county DUI records search tool requires it for ID match.
Third-Party Links and Tools
Our site links to many external sites. These include FLHSMV, county clerk portals, and ad partner pages. Once you leave our site, this Privacy Policy no longer applies. Read the privacy policy of any third-party site before you share data with them.
Official Partner Sites
Common links on our pages lead to:
- Official Florida Highway Safety website for FLHSMV driving record DUI lookups
- Orange County Clerk of Court for Orange County Florida DUI records
- Miami-Dade County Clerk for Miami-Dade County DUI court records

Embedded Maps and Videos
We may embed maps or videos from third parties like Google Maps. These embedded items can set cookies and read your IP address even if you do not click on them.
Do Not Track Signals
Some browsers send a “Do Not Track” signal. We honor these signals by disabling tracking cookies and analytics tags when we detect them. Our ad partners may not honor every DNT signal, so check their policies separately.
International Users
Our site is based in the United States and targets users searching Florida DUI records. If you visit from another country, your data will be transferred to and stored in the United States. By using our site, you consent to this transfer.
Data Transfers From the EU
For users in the European Economic Area, we use Standard Contractual Clauses to protect data sent to the US. These clauses are approved by the European Commission and give you the same rights you have under GDPR.

FAQ
Below are answers to common questions about how we handle your data when you search Florida DUI records. These answers reflect current Florida law and our internal practices as of August 2026.
Does Florida DUI Records sell my search data?
No. We do not sell your personal data to third parties. We only share search inputs with licensed public records partners to return results for your Florida DUI case lookup or Florida DUI record search official site request. Our partners are contractually required to delete your query data after the search completes.
How long do you keep my DUI search history?
We keep search logs for 90 days for security and debugging. After that, we delete them from active systems and within 180 days from backup systems. If you have an account, we keep your saved searches until you delete them or close your account.
Can I search DUI records anonymously on your site?
Yes. You can run a Florida DUI record search free without creating an account. We still log your IP address for 90 days to prevent abuse, but we do not link anonymous searches to your identity. Use a VPN if you want an extra layer of privacy.
Is my DUI record search visible to the person I searched?
No. We never notify the subject of a search. Our staff cannot see who you searched for unless you contact support about a specific result. Florida public DUI records are public, but your interest in them stays private with us.
What happens if I find wrong DUI data on your site?
Contact us through the form on our Corrections page. We forward your concern to the source agency (FLHSMV, county clerk, or court). Most official agencies respond within 30 days. We cannot change Florida DUI dispositions lookup data directly because we do not own the records.
Do you comply with Florida’s public records exemption laws?
Yes. We screen search results against the Florida Department of Highway Safety and court-ordered expungement lists. If a record has been legally sealed, expunged, or made confidential under Florida law, we hide it from search results within 5 business days of notice.
How do I delete my account and all my data?
Email privacy@floridaduirecords.com with the subject line “Delete My Account.” Include the email address tied to your account. We will confirm the request and complete deletion within 30 days. You will get a confirmation email when done.
