Information You Submit
Terms Entered in Search
A name or location entered in a search tool is sent to the outside provider operating that tool. Meeker County Released Inmates does not keep or log those search terms on its own systems.
Messages Sent to Us
If you send an email or contact message, we retain enough information to answer it. We do not share that correspondence beyond the organization unless disclosure is required by law.
Technical Data Collected
Normal web logs and analytics may receive technical details when a page loads. Those details can include:
- The connecting IP address.
- The browser name and version.
- The device category and operating system.
- Pages viewed and time spent on them.
- The referring website, when provided.
- Date and time stamps for requests.
Cookie Use
Cookies help measure how visitors use the site. You may block cookies through browser controls, although some tools or preferences may work differently after they are disabled.
How Data Is Used
Collected information supports the site's basic operation and helps us understand whether pages work as intended. Uses include:
- Operating the site and maintaining performance.
- Sending a search request to the selected partner.
- Learning which resources visitors find useful.
- Diagnosing errors and other technical problems.
- Displaying advertising that may reflect visitor interests.
Outside Sites and Advertising
Links may lead to release records, sheriff and corrections pages, government portals, or third-party search services. Once you leave, the destination's privacy policy controls its collection and use of data.
Some advertising partners may track activity across multiple websites to select ads. That activity takes place on their systems, not on a system controlled by Meeker County Released Inmates.
When Data May Be Shared
We do not sell personal information. Limited information may be handled by:
- Search partners that process a submitted query.
- Analytics vendors that measure site use.
- Advertising networks that deliver ads.
- Law enforcement or another government body acting under a valid legal order.
Security Has Limits
We use ordinary safeguards suited to the information we handle. No internet-connected service is completely secure, however, so we cannot promise that a breach or unauthorized access will never occur.
Visitors Under Eighteen
This site is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under 18. A parent or guardian may contact us to request deletion if a minor submitted information.
Your Privacy Choices
Depending on the law that applies, you may ask us to:
- Provide a copy of personal data held about you.
- Correct information that is wrong.
- Delete information when the law permits.
- Stop certain forms of processing.
Changes to This Notice
We may revise this privacy notice as practices or legal duties change. The updated wording and a new effective date will be posted here.
