Ohio County Privacy Notice

This notice describes information collected when someone uses Ohio County Released Inmates, how that information supports the service, and when it may be shared. It also explains the role of outside search and advertising providers. By continuing to use the site, a visitor accepts the practices described here.

Information You Submit

Search Entries

A name or location entered in a search box passes to the third-party provider operating that tool. This site does not keep or log those search terms on its own systems.

Messages

An email or contact message may be retained long enough to answer it. Message contents are not shared outside the organization unless disclosure is legally required.


Automatic Technical Information

Normal website systems may record limited technical facts when a page loads:

  • The internet protocol address used for the visit
  • Browser name and version
  • Device category and operating system
  • Pages viewed and time spent
  • The referring website, when supplied
  • Date and time stamps

Cookies

Cookies help measure how visitors use the site. A browser can reject or delete them, though blocking cookies may change how some functions behave.


How Information Is Used

Collected information supports operation and improvement of the service.

  • Maintain site speed and availability
  • Send searches to the selected partner
  • Measure which pages visitors use
  • Diagnose errors and technical faults
  • Display advertising that may reflect visitor interests

Outside Sites and Advertising

Links lead to jail and release records, government portals, corrections resources, and third-party searches. Once a visitor leaves, the destination's privacy policy controls.

Some advertising providers may measure activity across sites to select ads. That tracking occurs through their systems, not through an Ohio County government office.


When Data May Be Shared

Personal information is not sold. Limited data may reach:

  • Search partners that process a submitted query
  • Analytics providers
  • Advertising networks
  • Law enforcement or government bodies acting under a valid legal order

Reasonable Security Measures

Standard safeguards are used to protect information. No internet-connected service is immune from every breach, so absolute security cannot be promised.


Visitors Under Eighteen

This service is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal data from minors. A parent or guardian may use the Contacts page to request deletion if a minor submitted information.


Your Privacy Choices

Applicable law may allow a visitor to:

  • Ask for a copy of held personal data
  • Correct inaccurate information
  • Request deletion
  • Object to certain processing

Changes to This Notice

This privacy notice may be revised. A new version becomes effective when it is posted with an updated effective date.
