Information You Submit
Terms Entered in Search
A name, place, or other term entered in a search box is transmitted to the third-party provider that operates the tool. Norfolk County Released Inmates does not keep or log those search terms on its own systems.
Email and Contact Messages
If you send an email or contact message, we retain the information needed to read and answer it. Messages are not shared outside the organization unless disclosure is required by law.
Technical Data Collected
Standard server, analytics, and advertising systems may record basic technical information when a page loads, including:
- The internet protocol address used for the visit.
- The browser name and version.
- The device category and operating system.
- Pages viewed and the time spent on them.
- The referring website, when one is provided.
- The date and time of the request.
Cookie Controls
Cookies help measure how visitors use the site. You may block or remove cookies through browser settings, although some features may work differently when cookies are disabled.
Reasons for Using Data
Collected information supports ordinary site and service functions. It may be used to:
- Operate the site and maintain reasonable performance.
- Send a search request to the selected partner service.
- Measure which pages visitors find useful.
- Detect and repair errors or technical problems.
- Display advertising that may reflect a visitor’s interests.
Privacy Beyond This Site
Links may lead to sheriff and corrections pages, release-record sources, government portals, or third-party search services. Once you follow an outside link, that operator’s privacy policy and data practices apply.
Some advertising partners may use their own technology to recognize activity across websites and tailor ads. That processing occurs on the partner’s systems, not on this site’s own records.
Parties That May Receive Data
We do not sell personal information. Data may still be provided to limited recipients that perform a service or have lawful authority:
- Search partners that process submitted queries.
- Analytics providers that measure site use.
- Advertising networks that deliver or assess ads.
- Law-enforcement or government bodies acting under a valid legal order.
Security Measures and Limits
We use standard practices intended to protect information under our control. No website, transmission, or internet-connected storage system can be guaranteed secure, so we cannot promise that a breach will never occur.
Visitors Under Eighteen
This site is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If a minor has submitted personal data, contact us to request its deletion.
Your Privacy Choices
Subject to applicable law and the information we hold, you may ask to:
- Receive a copy of personal data associated with you.
- Correct information that is inaccurate.
- Delete personal information we retain.
- Opt out of certain forms of processing.
