Information You Submit
Terms Entered in Search
When a visitor enters a name, location, or other term into a search tool, that entry is sent to the third-party provider operating the tool so it can return results. Clarke County Released Inmates does not store or log those search terms on its own system. The provider may process the query under its privacy policy and technical practices.
Emails and Contact Messages
Information sent by email or through a contact form is retained as needed to read the request, respond, maintain the exchange, and address related site matters. Those messages are not shared outside the organization unless disclosure is required by law, legal process, or a valid government demand.
Technical Data Collected Automatically
Standard web systems can record limited technical and usage details each time a page loads. These records help operate and maintain the Clarke County resource. Depending on the service involved, the data may include:
- The internet protocol address associated with the request
- The browser type and software version
- The device category and operating system
- The pages opened and time spent on them
- The referring website, when one is supplied
- The date and time of each request
Cookies and Similar Files
Cookies may be used to understand visits, remember limited preferences, measure performance, and support advertising. A browser can reject, limit, or delete cookies through its settings. Blocking them may cause some search, preference, measurement, or advertising features to behave differently.
Purposes for Using Data
Collected information is used only for practical site and service functions, including the following:
- Keeping pages available, responsive, and reliable
- Sending search requests to the selected partner service
- Learning which Clarke County resource pages visitors find useful
- Diagnosing errors, misuse, and other technical problems
- Displaying advertising that may reflect general visitor interests
Websites Beyond Our Control
Links may lead to NRADC, Clarke County offices, Virginia courts, VADOC, federal locators, release-record resources, and third-party search tools. Once a visitor follows a link, the destination's own privacy terms and data practices apply. Clarke County Released Inmates does not control how those outside systems collect, keep, disclose, or secure information.
Advertising providers may use cookies or related technology on their systems to measure activity across multiple sites and select ads. Any such cross-site processing occurs under the provider's controls and policy, not as a data file maintained by this site.
Parties That May Receive Data
Clarke County Released Inmates does not sell personal information. Data may still be transmitted or disclosed when needed for the functions described in this notice:
- Search partners that process a visitor's submitted query
- Analytics providers that measure traffic and page performance
- Advertising networks that deliver or measure advertisements
- Law-enforcement or government bodies acting under a valid legal order
Safeguards and Their Limits
Reasonable, commonly used administrative and technical measures are applied to information under the site's control. No internet transmission, connected server, email system, or storage method can be promised as fully secure. Clarke County Released Inmates therefore cannot guarantee that data will never be intercepted, exposed, lost, or accessed without authorization.
Privacy for People Under 18
This service is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under 18. A parent or guardian who believes a minor submitted information may use the Contacts page to request review and deletion. Enough detail should be supplied to locate the submission without sending unrelated information about the minor.
Your Available Privacy Choices
Depending on applicable law and the nature of the record, a person may ask Clarke County Released Inmates to take the following actions for information held directly by the site:
- Provide a copy of personal data associated with the requester
- Correct information that is inaccurate
- Delete personal data when an applicable right permits it
- Stop or limit certain processing when an opt-out right applies
These choices do not control records maintained by NRADC, Clarke courts, VADOC, another government custodian, or a third-party provider. Requests about those systems must go to their operators.
Revisions to This Notice
This Privacy Notice may be revised as site functions, providers, or legal requirements change. A revised version becomes available on this page with an updated effective date. Continued use after publication means the current notice governs later activity.
