Information You Submit
A name or location entered in a search box is sent to the third-party provider that operates the tool. Fayette County Released Inmates does not keep or log those search terms on its own systems. A message sent by email or through a contact form may be retained so we can respond. Message content is not shared outside the organization unless disclosure is required by law.
Technical Data Collected Automatically
Ordinary web-server and analytics records may be created when a page loads. They can contain the following technical details:
- Internet Protocol address
- Browser name and version
- Device type and operating system
- Pages viewed and time spent
- Referring website, when supplied
- Date and time stamps
Cookies help measure how people use the site. A browser can block or clear cookies, although some functions may then behave differently.
How the Data Is Used
Collected data supports routine site operations and does not become an official Fayette County record.
- Operate and improve page performance
- Send search requests to the selected partner
- Measure which pages visitors find useful
- Diagnose errors and security issues
- Display advertising that may reflect interests
Links Beyond This Site
Pages link to WVDCR, Fayette courts, release-record sources, government locators, and third-party search tools. Once a visitor follows an outside link, that service's privacy policy controls its collection and use. Advertising partners may use their own systems to measure activity across websites.
Parties That May Receive Data
Personal data is not sold. Limited data may be handled by search partners that process a query, analytics vendors, advertising networks, or a government or law-enforcement body acting under a valid legal order.
Data Security Limits
Reasonable technical and organizational safeguards are used. No internet-connected service is immune from loss, misuse, unauthorized access, or attack, so absolute security cannot be guaranteed.
Visitors Under Eighteen
This site is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under eighteen. A parent or guardian who believes a minor submitted data may request its deletion through the Contact Us page.
Your Privacy Choices
Subject to applicable law and reasonable identity checks, a person may ask for a copy of personal data held, request correction, seek deletion, or object to certain processing. Browser controls can also limit cookies and related tracking.
