Privacy Notice

This notice describes the information handled when someone visits Roane County Released Inmates, uses a partner search box, or sends a message. It also explains why technical data is used and what choices are available.

Information You Submit

Search Queries

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

Messages and Contact Submissions

Messages sent by email or through a contact method may be retained long enough to answer and maintain the exchange. They are not shared outside the organization unless disclosure is legally required.


Technical Details Collected

Routine logs and analytics may receive technical details when a page loads.

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

Cookies

Cookies help show how visitors use the pages. Browser controls can block them, although parts of the site may then work differently.


How the Data Is Used

Collected information supports the site’s operation and improvement.

  • Keep pages available and responsive
  • Send search requests to the chosen partner
  • Measure which guides readers use
  • Diagnose technical errors
  • Display advertising that may reflect interests

Outside Websites and Advertising

Links lead to WVDCR, Roane County offices, courts, release-record resources, and third-party search tools. Once a visitor leaves, the destination’s privacy terms apply. Advertising partners may use their own technology to follow activity across sites for interest-based ads; that processing occurs on their systems.


Parties That May Receive Data

Personal information is not sold. Limited data may be provided to the service involved in a request.

  • Search partners that process submitted queries
  • Analytics providers
  • Advertising networks
  • Law-enforcement or government bodies responding to a valid legal order

Security Has Practical Limits

Reasonable, commonly used safeguards protect the site and information under its control. No internet-connected service can promise that a breach, interception, or misuse will never occur.


This Site Is for Adults

The site is intended for people age 18 and older and does not knowingly collect information from a minor. A parent or guardian may use the Contacts page to request deletion if a minor submitted personal data.


Your Privacy Choices

Subject to applicable law and verification, a person may ask about data held by this site.

  • Request a copy of personal information held
  • Ask that inaccurate information be corrected
  • Request deletion where applicable
  • Object to or opt out of certain processing

Notice Revisions

This privacy notice may be changed as services or legal requirements evolve. A revision takes effect when posted here with an updated effective date.
