Information You Submit
Terms Entered in Searches
When you type a name, place, or other term into a partner-powered search box, that request is sent to the third-party company that operates the tool. Jefferson County Released Inmates does not store or log those search terms on its own systems. The provider's privacy terms govern its handling of the query.
Messages Sent to Us
If you send an email or use a contact form, we keep the message and contact details as needed to prepare and deliver a reply. We do not share that correspondence outside our organization unless disclosure is required by law or a valid legal process.
Technical Data Collected Automatically
Ordinary server, analytics, and advertising systems may record limited technical information when a page loads. That data can include:
- The device's Internet Protocol address
- Browser name and version
- Device class and operating system
- Pages viewed and time spent on them
- The referring website, when one is supplied
- Date and time stamps for requests
Cookies and Similar Tools
Cookies help measure how visitors move through the site and may support advertising or basic page functions. You can reject or remove cookies through your browser settings. Blocking them may change how some tools or preferences work.
Reasons We Use Data
Information collected through the site is used for a limited set of operating purposes:
- Maintain reliable and responsive pages
- Send partner search requests to the selected service
- Measure which Jefferson County resources visitors use
- Diagnose errors, broken links, and performance problems
- Display advertising that may reflect visitor interests
Privacy Beyond This Site
Links may lead to Jefferson County release-record pages, the Sheriff's Department, Tennessee correctional portals, federal locators, court resources, or private search services. Once you leave this site, the destination's privacy policy and data practices control. Review those terms before sending personal details.
Some advertising companies may use their own technology to recognize activity across more than one website and select interest-based ads. That tracking occurs on the advertising partner's systems, not in a record maintained by Jefferson County Released Inmates.
When Information Is Shared
We do not sell personal information. Limited data may be available to:
- Search partners that process a query you submit
- Analytics providers that measure visits and site use
- Advertising networks that deliver or assess advertisements
- Law enforcement or another government body responding to a valid order or lawful demand
Our Security Approach
We use commonly accepted safeguards intended to reduce improper access, disclosure, or loss. No internet service, transmission method, or storage system can be guaranteed completely secure. This notice does not promise that a breach or unauthorized access can never occur.
Visitors Younger Than Eighteen
This site is intended for adults. We do not knowingly seek or collect personal information from anyone under 18. If a parent or guardian believes a minor sent us personal data, contact us so we can review and delete it where appropriate.
Your Privacy Choices
Subject to applicable Tennessee and federal law, you may ask us to:
- Provide a copy of personal data we hold about you
- Correct personal information that is inaccurate
- Delete information when no legal or operational reason requires retention
- Stop certain processing where an opt-out right applies
These choices concern information maintained by this private site. Government records held by Jefferson County or Tennessee agencies are governed separately by the Tennessee Public Records Act, including Tenn. Code Ann. ยงยง 10-7-503 and 10-7-506, and by any applicable confidentiality law.
Changes to This Notice
We may revise this privacy notice as site practices, vendors, or legal requirements change. A revised version will be posted on this page with an updated effective date, and continued use after posting is subject to the revised notice.
