Information You Submit
Search Queries
When a name, location, or similar term is entered into a search box, that query may be sent to the third-party provider that powers the search tool. Imperial County Released Inmates does not store those search terms on its own systems, but the provider may handle them under its own privacy policy.
Messages and Contact Requests
If you email or send a contact message, the information in that message may be kept long enough to respond, review the request, or maintain ordinary business records. Contact messages are not shared outside the organization unless a legal requirement, court order, or valid government demand requires it.
Automatic Technical Data
Like most websites, this site may collect basic technical information when pages load. That information helps diagnose errors, understand use patterns, and keep the site available.
- IP address and approximate network location.
- Browser name, version, device type, and operating system.
- Pages viewed, time spent on pages, and navigation paths.
- Referring website or search engine, when available.
- Date and time stamps for visits and technical events.
Cookies
Cookies and similar tools may be used for analytics, advertising, and basic site operation. Browser settings can block or delete cookies, although some search, analytics, or advertising features may behave differently when cookies are disabled.
How Data Is Used
- To keep the site running, secure, and reasonably fast.
- To route search requests to the provider that operates a search tool.
- To understand which Imperial County release-record pages are useful.
- To find broken links, performance problems, and technical errors.
- To display advertising that may be based on general interests or site activity.
Outside Sites and Records
This site links to sheriff, court, CDCR, VINE, BOP, ICE, probation, and other public-record or custody-status resources. Once a visitor clicks one of those links, the destination site's own privacy policy and data practices apply.
Advertising networks and analytics services may use their own cookies or tracking tools across websites. Their activity occurs on their systems, not as an official record held by Imperial County Released Inmates.
Who May Receive Data
Personal data is not sold as a contact list. It may still be processed or disclosed in limited ways tied to site operation and legal compliance.
- Search partners that receive and process a search query.
- Analytics providers used to measure site traffic and errors.
- Advertising networks that place or measure ads.
- Law enforcement, courts, or government agencies when required by a valid legal order.
Security Practices
Reasonable security practices are used for ordinary website operations. No internet-connected service can be guaranteed to be breach-proof, and no transmission method is completely secure.
