Scotland County Privacy Notice

This notice describes what data Scotland County Released Inmates receives, why it is used, and when it may pass to another service. It also explains cookies, security, and user choices. By using the site, you accept the practices described here.

Information You Submit

Search Queries

A name, place, or other term entered in a search box is sent to the third-party company that operates that tool. This site does not keep or log those search terms on its own system.

Messages and Contact Submissions

An email or contact message may be retained long enough to answer and maintain the exchange. We do not share those messages outside the organization unless the law requires disclosure.


Technical Visit Data

Standard web systems may record the following details when a page loads:

  • Internet Protocol address
  • Browser name and version
  • Device category and operating system
  • Pages viewed and time spent on them
  • The referring website, when provided
  • Date and time stamps

Cookie Controls

Cookies help measure how visitors move through the site. A browser can block or delete them, although some features may work differently when cookies are disabled.


Reasons We Use Data

  • Operate the site and maintain its speed
  • Send search requests to the selected partner
  • Understand which pages readers find useful
  • Detect and repair technical problems
  • Display advertising that may reflect visitor interests

Links and Outside Services

Links lead to sheriff and corrections pages, release-record resources, government portals, and private search tools. Once a visitor follows one, the destination’s privacy policy controls its collection and use of data.

Advertising partners may use their own systems to track activity across websites and choose targeted ads. That cross-site activity occurs under the partner’s practices, not this site’s data controls.


When Data May Be Shared

We do not sell personal data. Information may reach these parties when needed for the stated service:

  • Search partners that process submitted queries
  • Services that measure site use
  • Advertising networks
  • 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 system is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee that stored or transmitted data will never be accessed improperly.


Adults Only

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


Your Privacy Choices

  • 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

This privacy notice may be revised as site practices change. An updated version will appear on this page with a new effective date.
