Privacy Notice

This notice describes the information collected when people use Chariton County Released Inmates, how it supports site functions, and when outside services may receive it. Using the site means accepting these practices.

Information You Submit

A name, location, or other query entered in a search box is sent to the third-party provider that operates that tool. We do not store or log those search terms on our own systems. The provider’s policy applies to its handling of the query.

If you send an email or contact message, we retain the details needed to read and answer it. We do not share that correspondence outside the organization unless the law requires disclosure.


Automatically Collected Details

Routine technical records may be created when a page loads. They can include:

  • Internet Protocol address
  • Browser name and version
  • Device type and operating system
  • Pages visited and time spent
  • Referring website, when available
  • Date and time of each request

Cookies help measure how visitors use the site. Browser settings can reject them, although some functions may then behave differently.


How Information Is Used

Collected information supports a limited set of operating purposes.

  • Keep pages available and responsive
  • Send search requests to the selected partner service
  • Measure which resources visitors use
  • Identify and repair technical faults
  • Display advertising that may reflect visitor interests

External Sites and Advertising

Links may lead to sheriff and corrections pages, release-record sources, government portals, or third-party search tools. Once you leave, the destination’s privacy terms govern. Review those terms before submitting personal details.

Advertising providers may use their own systems to measure activity across websites and select ads. That tracking occurs under the provider’s controls, not ours.


Parties That May Receive Data

We do not sell personal information. Data may still reach:

  • Search partners that process a submitted query
  • Analytics providers that measure traffic
  • Advertising networks that deliver ads
  • Law enforcement or another government body acting under a valid legal order

Data Security

We use standard safeguards appropriate to a public website. No internet service, storage method, or transmission can be guaranteed breach-proof, so absolute security is not promised.


Visitors Under Eighteen

The site is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under 18. A parent or guardian may use the Contacts page to ask that information submitted by a minor be removed.


Your Privacy Choices

Subject to applicable law and the data actually held, a person may ask to:

  • Receive a copy of personal information held about them
  • Correct inaccurate personal details
  • Delete information that no longer must be retained
  • Opt out of certain processing where the law provides that right

Changes to This Notice

This privacy notice may be revised as site practices or legal duties change. A new version takes effect when posted with its updated effective date.
