Privacy Notice

This notice describes what information may be collected while you use the site, why it is used, and when it may reach another party. By continuing to use these pages, you accept the practices stated here.

Information You Submit

Queries Sent Through Search Tools

A name, place, or other term entered in a search box is transmitted to the third-party provider operating that tool. Ellsworth County Released Inmates does not keep or log those search terms on its own systems.

Messages You Send

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


Technical Visit Data

Routine server, analytics, or advertising systems may record technical details when a page loads, including:

  • Your Internet Protocol address.
  • The browser name and version.
  • The device class and operating system.
  • Pages viewed and time spent on them.
  • The referring website, when supplied.
  • Date and time stamps.

Cookies and Browser Controls

Cookies help show how visitors use the site. You can block them in your browser, though some functions may then behave differently or fail to retain a preference.


Reasons for Processing

Collected information supports ordinary site operation and service improvement.

  • Maintain site speed and availability.
  • Send a search request to the selected partner.
  • Measure which pages visitors find useful.
  • Locate errors and repair technical problems.
  • Display advertising that may reflect visitor interests.

Privacy Beyond These Pages

Links may lead to sheriff and corrections records, government portals, and independent search tools. Once you leave, the destination's privacy terms control its collection and use.

Some advertising partners may track activity across websites to select ads. That processing occurs on their systems, not on this site's own records.


Parties That May Receive Data

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

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

Reasonable Security Measures

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


Visitors Under Eighteen

The site is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 18. Contact us to request deletion if a minor submitted personal data.


Your Privacy Choices

Subject to applicable law, you may ask us to:

  • Provide a copy of personal data we hold.
  • Correct inaccurate personal information.
  • Delete information where required.
  • Stop certain processing where an opt-out applies.

This privacy notice may be revised. A changed version will appear on this page with a new effective date.
