Information You Submit
Terms Entered in Search Tools
When you type a name, place, or other detail into a search box, that query passes to the independent provider that operates the tool. Montgomery County Released Inmates does not store or log those search terms on its own systems. The provider’s rules govern its handling of the query.
Emails and Other Messages
If you email us or submit a contact message, we retain the content and contact details needed to read and answer it. We do not share the message outside our organization unless disclosure is required by law.
Information Collected Automatically
Ordinary web technology may record technical and usage information when a page loads. That information can include:
- Your Internet Protocol address.
- Your browser name and version.
- Your device type and operating system.
- The pages visited and time spent on them.
- The referring website, when supplied.
- The date and time of a request.
Cookie Use
Cookies help measure how visitors use the site. You may block or remove them through your browser settings, though some site functions may then work differently.
Reasons We Use Data
Collected information supports a limited set of operating needs:
- Keeping pages available and responsive.
- Sending search requests to the appropriate partner tool.
- Learning which resources visitors find useful.
- Finding faults and correcting technical problems.
- Displaying advertising that may reflect a visitor’s interests.
Links and Outside Services
Links may lead to the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office, VADOC, courts, federal locators, public release-record resources, or private search tools. Once you leave this site, the destination’s privacy policy applies instead of this notice.
Advertising partners may use their own systems to follow activity across websites and select interest-based ads. That tracking occurs under the partner’s controls, not on systems operated by Montgomery County Released Inmates.
Parties That May Receive Data
We do not sell personal information. Depending on how the site is used, information may be processed by:
- Search partners that receive submitted queries.
- Analytics providers that measure site use.
- Advertising networks that serve ads.
- Law-enforcement or government bodies acting under a valid legal order.
Reasonable Security Measures
We use standard, reasonable safeguards for information under our control. No website, network, or storage method is completely 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. A parent or guardian who believes a minor submitted information may contact us and request its deletion.
Your Privacy Choices
Subject to applicable law and our ability to verify a request, you may:
- Ask for a copy of personal data we hold about you.
- Request correction of inaccurate personal information.
- Ask us to erase personal data where deletion applies.
- Object to or opt out of certain forms of processing.
Changes to This Notice
We may revise this notice as technology, service providers, or legal duties change. A revised version takes effect when it is posted here with an updated effective date.
