Jefferson County Privacy Notice

This notice explains what data may be collected when you use this site, why it is used, and when another service may receive it. By continuing to use the site, you accept the practices described here.

Information You Submit

Search terms. A name or location entered in a search box is sent to the third-party company that operates that tool. Jefferson County Released Inmates does not store or log those search terms on its own systems.

Messages. If you send an email or contact message, we keep the information needed to review and answer it. We do not share the message outside the organization unless disclosure is required by law.


Automatic Technical Data

Standard web logs and measurement tools may collect limited details when a page loads.

  • 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. Cookies help measure use and remember basic preferences. Browser controls can reject them, though some features may then work differently.


How Information Is Used

Collected information supports ordinary site operations.

  • Maintain site speed and availability
  • Send a search to the selected partner
  • Learn which pages readers use
  • Diagnose and repair technical faults
  • Display advertising that may reflect interests

Links and Advertising

Links may lead to the Jefferson County Sheriff, the county's court lookup router, the Ohio corrections search, federal locators, or outside search tools. Once you leave this site, the destination's privacy terms govern its collection and use of data.

Some advertising providers may measure activity across websites to select ads. That tracking occurs through the provider's systems, not as a Jefferson County public record.


When Data May Be Shared

We do not sell personal data. Limited information may reach:

  • Search partners that process a query
  • Analytics providers that measure traffic
  • Advertising networks
  • Law-enforcement or government bodies acting under a valid legal order

Reasonable Security Measures

We use standard safeguards suited to a public website. No internet service can promise absolute security, so these measures are best efforts and not a guarantee against every breach.


Use by Adults

This site is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under 18. Contact us if a minor submitted information so it can be reviewed for deletion.


Your Privacy Choices

Subject to applicable law and our ability to verify the request, you may:

  • Ask for a copy of personal data we hold
  • Request correction of inaccurate data
  • Ask that personal data be erased
  • Object to or opt out of certain processing

Changes to This Notice

This notice may be revised as services or legal duties change. An updated version takes effect when posted with its new effective date.
