Privacy Notice

This notice describes what Shelby County Released Inmates may collect, how that data is used, when another party may receive it, and the choices available to users. Using the site means accepting these practices.

Information You Submit

Search terms

A name or location entered in a search box is sent to the third-party company that operates that tool. We do not keep or log the query on our own system. The provider's privacy terms govern its handling.

Messages

If you send an email or contact message, we retain what you provide as needed to answer. We do not share it outside our organization unless the law requires disclosure.


Technical Data and Cookies

Normal page requests may produce technical records such as:

  • IP address;
  • browser name and version;
  • device type and operating system;
  • pages viewed and time spent;
  • referring site, when available;
  • request dates and timestamps.

Cookies

Cookies help measure use and support site features. Browser controls can reject them, though parts of the site may then work differently.


How Data Is Used

Collected data may be used to operate and improve the site, send a query to the selected search partner, understand which pages help visitors, diagnose errors, protect the service, and display advertising that may reflect user interests.


Outside Sites and Advertising

Links lead to sheriff, corrections, court, release-record, government, and third-party search resources. Once a visitor leaves, the destination's privacy rules apply. Advertising companies may use their own systems to recognize activity across sites for interest-based ads.


When Data May Be Shared

We do not sell personal information. Data may be received by search providers that process a query, analytics vendors, advertising networks, and law-enforcement or other government bodies acting under a valid legal order.


Security Is Best Effort

We use ordinary safeguards suited to the service. No website or internet transmission can be promised as completely secure, and we cannot guarantee that a breach will never occur.


People Under Eighteen

This site is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under 18. A parent or guardian may ask us to remove information submitted by a minor.


Your Privacy Choices

Subject to applicable law, a user may ask for a copy of personal data we hold, request a correction, seek deletion, or object to certain processing. Rights can vary by place and may require identity verification.


Notice Changes

We may revise this privacy notice. A new version becomes effective when posted with its updated effective date.
