Privacy Notice

This notice describes what Marin County Released Inmates may collect when people use the site, send a message, click an outbound link, or use a partner search tool. By using the site, visitors accept these data practices.

Information You Submit

Search Queries

When a name, county, or other search term is typed into a search box, that query is passed to the third-party provider that operates the tool. This site does not keep its own separate log of those search terms.

Messages

If you email or send a contact message, the message and reply address may be kept long enough to respond. Messages are not shared outside the operation of the site unless a valid legal requirement applies.


Automatic Technical Data

Like most websites, the site may collect basic technical information on page load.

  • IP address
  • Browser type and version
  • Device type and operating system
  • Pages viewed and time spent
  • Referring website, when available
  • Date and time stamps

Cookies

Cookies and similar tools may be used for analytics, site function, advertising, and performance checks. Browser settings can block cookies, but some features may work differently if cookies are disabled.


How Data Is Used

Collected data is used for routine site operations and measurement.

  • Keep pages available and loading properly
  • Send search requests to the appropriate partner service
  • Understand which Marin release-record pages are useful
  • Find errors, abuse, or technical problems
  • Display ads that may be relevant to visitors

Outside Websites

The site links to sheriff, jail, court, corrections, VINE, federal, immigration, legal, and third-party search resources. Once a visitor leaves this site, the destination site's privacy policy and terms control that visit.

Advertising partners may use their own cookies or tracking tools across sites for interest-based ads. Those systems are operated by the partners, not by Marin County Released Inmates.


Who May Receive Data

Personal data is not sold as a customer list. It may be handled by limited service providers or disclosed when legally required.

  • Search partners that process submitted search terms
  • Analytics providers
  • Advertising networks
  • Government or law-enforcement bodies under a valid legal order

Security Practices

Reasonable technical and organizational safeguards are used, but no internet-connected site can promise perfect security. Visitors should avoid submitting sensitive facts that are not needed for a message or search.


Users Under 18

The site is intended for adults. It does not knowingly collect information from anyone under 18. If a minor submitted personal information, use the Contacts page to request deletion.


Your Choices

Depending on location and applicable law, users may ask to review, correct, delete, or limit certain personal data held by the site.

  • Request a copy of personal data maintained by the site
  • Ask for correction of inaccurate contact information
  • Request deletion when retention is not required
  • Opt out of certain processing where available

Policy Updates

This notice may be updated as site tools, partners, or legal requirements change. Updates take effect when posted on this page.
