How This Site Treats Visitor Data

This notice describes what data may be collected, why it is used, and when it may be shared. It also explains the limits of online security and the choices available to visitors. By using Russell County Released Inmates, you accept the practices stated here.

Information You Choose to Send

Terms Entered in Search Tools

A name or place entered in a search box is sent to the third-party provider operating that tool. Russell County Released Inmates does not store or log those search terms on its own systems.

Messages

If you email us or use a contact form, we keep the message as needed to respond. We do not share it outside our organization unless the law requires disclosure.


Technical Data Collected During a Visit

Normal web systems may record basic details when a page loads.

  • Your IP address
  • Browser name and version
  • Device type and operating system
  • Pages viewed and time spent
  • The referring site, when supplied
  • Date and time stamps

Cookies

Cookies help show how visitors use the site. You may block them through browser controls, though parts of the site may then work differently.


Reasons We Use Collected Data

Collected data supports routine site operation and improvement.

  • Keep pages available and responsive
  • Send a search request to the selected partner
  • Understand which resources visitors use
  • Diagnose and correct technical faults
  • Display advertising that may reflect interests

Other Websites and Advertising

Links may lead to Russell County release sources, sheriff or corrections pages, government portals, and independent search tools. Once you leave, the destination's privacy rules apply.

Advertising partners may use their own systems to measure activity across sites and select targeted ads. That tracking occurs under their practices, not this notice.


Parties That May Receive Data

We do not sell personal data. Limited information may be handled by these parties when needed.

  • Search providers processing a submitted query
  • Analytics vendors measuring site use
  • Advertising networks serving ads
  • Law enforcement or government bodies acting under a valid legal order

Security Has Practical Limits

We use standard safeguards appropriate to a public website. No internet service is fully secure, so we cannot promise that data will never be accessed, lost, or exposed.


Visitors Younger Than 18

This site is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 18. A parent or guardian may use the Contacts page to request deletion of data a minor submitted.


Your Privacy Choices

Subject to applicable law and our ability to identify the data, you may make the following requests.

  • Ask for a copy of personal data we hold
  • Correct inaccurate personal information
  • Request deletion of personal data
  • Object to or opt out of certain processing

Changes to This Notice

We may revise this privacy notice as the site or its practices change. A new version takes effect when it is posted here with an updated effective date.
