Privacy Notice

This notice describes information collected through Washington County Released Inmates, why it is used, and when a service provider or lawful authority may receive it. Using the site means accepting these practices.

Information You Choose to Send

Terms Entered in Search Tools

A name, place, or other term entered in a search box is sent to the outside provider that operates that tool. Washington County Released Inmates does not keep or log those search terms on its own systems.

Email and Contact Messages

Email and contact messages are retained as needed to answer the sender. They are not shared beyond the organization unless disclosure is required by law.


Technical Details Collected Automatically

Ordinary web logs and measurement tools can receive limited technical data when a page loads, including:

  • Internet Protocol address;
  • browser name and version;
  • device category and operating system;
  • pages viewed and approximate time spent;
  • the referring page, when available; and
  • date and time stamps.

Cookie Controls

Cookies help measure how visitors use the resource. Browser controls can reject or remove cookies, though some functions may then work differently.


Reasons for Using the Data

Collected information is used only for practical site operations:

  • maintaining stable and responsive pages;
  • sending search requests to the selected partner;
  • understanding which resources visitors use;
  • diagnosing errors and performance problems; and
  • displaying advertising that may reflect general interests.

Privacy Beyond This Domain

Links lead to county release resources, corrections agencies, courts, federal locators, and third-party search tools. Once a visitor leaves this domain, the destination’s privacy policy controls its collection and use of data.

Some advertising providers may measure activity across different sites to select ads. That processing occurs on their systems and under their policies.


Parties That May Receive Data

Personal data is not sold. Limited information may be available to:

  • search partners that process a submitted query;
  • analytics providers that measure site use;
  • advertising networks that deliver ads; and
  • law-enforcement or government authorities acting under a valid legal order.

Reasonable Security Measures

Standard safeguards are used to protect information in this site’s control. No internet-connected service is fully secure, so absolute protection or a breach-proof system cannot be promised.


Visitors Younger Than 18

This resource is intended for adults. It does not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under 18. A parent or guardian who believes a minor submitted information may use the Contacts page to request deletion.


Requests About Personal Data

Subject to applicable law and identity verification, a person may ask to:

  • receive a copy of personal data held here;
  • correct inaccurate submitted information;
  • request deletion of eligible data; or
  • opt out of processing when the law provides that choice.

Changes to This Notice

This privacy notice may be revised as services or legal duties change. An updated version becomes effective when posted here with a new effective date.
