Clinton County Privacy Notice

This notice describes the information collected when you use Clinton County Released Inmates, why it is used, and when another party may receive it. By continuing to use the site, you accept the practices stated here.

Information You Submit

Search Queries

A name, place, or other query entered in a search box is sent to the third-party provider that operates the tool. We do not store or log those search terms on our side.

Messages and Contact Submissions

We retain an email or contact message as needed to answer it. We do not share that correspondence outside our organization unless the law requires disclosure.


Automatic Technical Data

A visit may create routine technical records about the request and the device used, including:

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

Cookies

Cookies help measure how visitors use the site. You may block cookies through your browser, though some functions may then work differently.


Reasons We Use Data

  • Operate the site and maintain performance
  • Send search requests to the selected partner
  • Understand which pages visitors use
  • Diagnose and repair technical problems

Other Sites and Services

Links may lead to release records, the Clinton County Sheriff, ODRC, government portals, or independent search services. Once you leave, the destination's privacy policy controls its handling of information.

Some advertising partners may track activity across websites to select ads. That processing occurs through their systems, not ours.


Limited Data Sharing

We do not sell personal information. Data may be handled by:

  • Search partners processing a query
  • Analytics providers measuring use
  • Advertising networks serving ads
  • Law enforcement or government bodies acting under a valid legal order

Reasonable Security Measures

We use standard safeguards suited to this service. No internet-connected system is completely secure, so we cannot promise that a breach will never occur.

This site is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 18. Use the Contacts page to request deletion if a minor submitted data.


Your Privacy Choices

  • Ask for a copy of information we hold about you
  • Request correction of inaccurate information
  • Ask that eligible information be erased
  • Opt out of certain processing where the law provides that right
