Washington Privacy Notice

This notice describes what Washington County Released Inmates collects, how the information is used, and the limited situations in which it may be shared. By using the site, a visitor accepts these practices.

Information You Submit

Search Queries

A name or location entered in a search box is sent to the outside provider that operates that tool. This site does not store or log those search terms on its own systems.

Messages and Contact Submissions

An email or contact message may be kept to answer the inquiry. It is not shared outside the organization unless disclosure is legally required.


Automatic Technical Data

Ordinary web logs and measurement services may collect these details when a page loads:

  • Internet Protocol address
  • Browser name and version
  • Device type and operating system
  • Pages viewed and time spent
  • Referring page or site, when supplied
  • Date and time stamps

Cookies

Cookies help measure how visitors use the site. Browser settings can block or remove them, though some features may behave differently.


Purposes for Data Use

  • Operate and improve site performance
  • Route a query to the selected search partner
  • Measure which pages visitors find useful
  • Diagnose errors and security problems
  • Display advertising that may reflect interests

Policies on Linked Services

Links lead to sheriff and corrections pages, release-record portals, government databases, and outside search tools. The destination’s privacy policy applies after a visitor leaves.

Some advertising providers may measure activity across websites to select ads. That processing occurs on their systems under their rules.


Limited Data Recipients

Personal information is not sold. It may be handled by these limited recipients:

  • Search partners processing a query
  • Analytics services measuring site use
  • Advertising networks delivering ads
  • Government bodies acting under a valid legal order

Reasonable Security Measures

Reasonable safeguards are used. No internet-connected system can be guaranteed fully secure, so this notice does not promise that a breach is impossible.


Adults Only

The site is for adults and does not knowingly collect data from anyone under 18. A parent or guardian may request deletion if a minor submitted information.


Your Privacy Choices

  • Ask for a copy of personal data held
  • Request correction of inaccurate data
  • Request deletion where applicable
  • Object to or opt out of certain processing

Notice Updates

This policy may change as practices or legal duties change. A revised version will appear here with a new effective date.
