Information You Submit
Queries Sent to Search Providers
A name, location, or other term entered into a search box is transmitted to the outside provider that operates that tool. Hardin County Released Inmates does not store or log those query terms on its own systems. The provider's handling of a query is governed by its own privacy terms.
Messages Sent to the Site
If a visitor sends an email or uses a contact form, the message and supplied contact details are retained as needed to read and answer it. The site does not share those messages outside its organization unless disclosure is required by law.
Technical Data Collected Automatically
Routine web and analytics systems may record technical details when a page loads. Those details can include:
- The visitor'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 available.
- The date and time of the visit.
Cookies and Browser Controls
Cookies may help measure how visitors move through the site and whether features work as intended. A browser can reject or delete cookies. Blocking them may change how some tools or preferences behave.
How Information Is Used
Collected information supports limited site and service functions. It may be used to:
- Operate the site and maintain reasonable speed.
- Send a search request to the selected partner tool.
- Understand which Hardin release-reference pages help visitors.
- Detect, diagnose, and repair technical faults.
- Display advertising that may reflect a visitor's interests.
Other Websites Have Their Rules
Links may lead to the Hardin County Sheriff, MCCC, Hardin courts, ODRC, federal locators, and outside search services. Once a visitor leaves this site, the destination's privacy notice and practices control the visit.
Advertising partners may use their own technology to measure activity across more than one website and tailor ads. That tracking takes place on the partner's systems, not as a records function of Hardin County Released Inmates.
Possible Data Recipients
Hardin County Released Inmates does not sell personal information. Limited information may still be provided to:
- Search partners that must process a submitted query.
- Analytics providers that measure site use.
- Advertising networks that deliver and measure ads.
- Law enforcement or another government body responding to a valid legal order.
Reasonable Security, Not a Guarantee
The site uses customary administrative and technical safeguards appropriate to the information it handles. No internet transmission or connected storage system is fully secure. Hardin County Released Inmates therefore cannot promise that a breach, interception, or unauthorized access will never occur.
Adults Only
This site is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. A parent or guardian who believes a minor submitted information may use the Contacts page to request deletion.
Choices About Personal Data
Subject to applicable law and verification, a visitor may ask to:
- Receive a copy of personal data held by the site.
- Correct inaccurate personal information.
- Delete personal data the site maintains.
- Opt out of certain processing where that choice is available.
Changes to This Notice
This privacy notice may be revised as site practices, services, or legal duties change. A revised version becomes available on this page and will show a new effective date when posted.
