Privacy Notice

This privacy notice describes information handled when someone visits Elk County Released Inmates, uses a partner search tool, or sends a message. It also explains why technical data is collected, when other companies may receive data, and which choices are available. A third party’s own policy applies after a visitor uses that company’s service.

Information You Submit

Names, locations, or other terms entered in a search box are sent to the independent provider that operates the tool. We do not store or log those search terms on our own systems. The provider may process the query under its separate privacy policy and terms.

If you send an email or contact-form message, we keep the information needed to read and answer it. We do not share that message outside the organization unless disclosure is required by law or needed to respond to a valid legal process.


Automatic Technical Information

Ordinary server, analytics, and advertising systems may record technical details when a page loads. These details can include:

  • Internet Protocol address;
  • browser name and version;
  • device category and operating system;
  • pages viewed and time spent on them;
  • the referring page or site, when supplied; and
  • request and visit timestamps.

Cookies and similar browser storage can help measure site use and remember technical settings. You may block or remove cookies through browser controls, although some search, analytics, or advertising features may work differently afterward.


How Information Is Used

Collected data supports ordinary site operations and service improvement. It may be used to:

  • deliver pages reliably and maintain performance;
  • send a search request to the selected partner;
  • understand which resources visitors use;
  • diagnose errors, misuse, or security problems; and
  • display advertising that may reflect general or inferred interests.

Other Websites and Advertising

Links may lead to sheriff and corrections pages, court or government portals, release-record sources, and outside search services. Once you leave this site, the destination controls its own collection and use of information. Review that organization’s privacy notice before submitting personal data.

Advertising companies may use cookies or other identifiers on their systems to measure campaigns or select interest-based advertising across websites. Their collection is governed by their policies, not by this notice.


Parties That May Receive Data

We do not sell personal information. Data may be processed or disclosed to limited categories of recipients when needed for the functions described here:

  • search providers that receive a submitted query;
  • analytics vendors that measure site use;
  • advertising networks that deliver or assess ads; and
  • law enforcement or another government body acting under a valid subpoena, court order, warrant, or other lawful demand.

Security Measures and Limits

We use reasonable, commonly accepted safeguards for the systems under our control. No website, network, transmission, or storage system can be guaranteed completely secure. We therefore cannot promise that information will never be intercepted, misused, lost, or exposed.


Visitors Under Eighteen

This site is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If a parent or guardian believes a minor sent personal data, use the Contacts page to request review and deletion.


Your Privacy Choices

Subject to applicable law and reasonable identity verification, you may ask for access to personal information we hold, correction of inaccurate information, deletion, or an opt-out from certain processing. Some data may need to be retained for security, legal compliance, dispute resolution, or other lawful reasons.

  • Request a copy of personal information associated with you.
  • Ask that inaccurate personal information be corrected.
  • Request deletion of eligible information.
  • Object to or opt out of processing where the law provides that choice.

Requests should be sent through the Contacts page. A request concerning data held by a search provider, ad network, government portal, or other linked service must be directed to that organization.


Changes to This Notice

We may revise this privacy notice as technology, vendors, or practices change. A revised version becomes effective when posted here with its updated effective date. Continued use after publication is subject to the revised notice.
