Privacy Notice

This notice describes the information handled when someone uses Boone County Released Inmates, how that information supports the service, and when an outside provider may receive it. It also explains cookies, security limits, and user choices. By continuing to use the site, a visitor accepts these practices.

Information You Choose to Send

Terms Entered in Search Boxes

A name, place, or other term typed into a search tool is transmitted to the third-party company operating that tool. Boone County Released Inmates does not keep or log those search terms on its own systems.

Emails and Other Messages

If you email us or submit a contact message, we retain the information needed to respond. We do not share that correspondence outside the organization unless disclosure is required by law.

Technical Details Collected Automatically

Ordinary web logs and analytics can record basic technical facts when a page loads. Those facts may include:

  • The internet protocol address used for the visit.
  • The browser name and version.
  • The device class and operating system.
  • Pages viewed and time spent on them.
  • The referring website, when one is supplied.
  • The date and time of each request.

Cookies and Browser Controls

Cookies help show how visitors move through the site. A browser can reject or delete them, although blocking cookies may cause some features to work differently.

Reasons We Use the Data

Collected information supports the operation and improvement of the service.

  • Maintain reliable and responsive pages.
  • Send search requests to the selected partner service.
  • Understand which resources visitors find useful.
  • Detect faults and correct technical problems.
  • Display advertising that may reflect a visitor's interests.

Privacy After Following a Link

Links may lead to release records, sheriff or corrections pages, government portals, and outside search tools. Once a visitor leaves this site, the destination's privacy policy controls its collection and use of information.

Some advertising companies may track activity across websites to select ads. That processing occurs through their systems and policies, not through records stored by Boone County Released Inmates.

Parties That May Receive Data

We do not sell personal data. Limited information may be provided to:

  • Search partners that process a submitted query.
  • Services that measure site traffic and performance.
  • Advertising networks serving messages on the site.
  • Law-enforcement or government bodies acting under a valid legal order.

Reasonable Security, Real Limits

We use standard safeguards suited to a public website. No internet-connected service is perfectly secure, however, so we cannot promise that a breach or unauthorized access will never occur.

Adults Only

This resource is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under 18. A parent or guardian who believes a minor sent information may contact us and request deletion.

Privacy Requests and Choices

Subject to applicable law and our ability to verify the request, a user may:

  • Ask for a copy of personal data we hold.
  • Request correction of inaccurate information.
  • Ask that eligible data be erased.
  • Object to or opt out of certain processing.

Changes to This Notice

We may revise this privacy notice as practices or legal requirements change. The updated text will appear here with a new effective date.
