Hale Privacy Notice

This notice describes information collected when someone uses Hale County Released Inmates, how that information supports the service, and when it may reach another party. Using the site means accepting these practices.

Information You Submit

Terms Entered in Search

A name or location entered in a search box passes to the third-party provider operating that tool. This site does not store or log those search terms on its own systems.

Messages Sent to Us

An email or contact-form message is retained as needed to respond. It is not shared outside the organization unless disclosure is legally required.


Technical Data Collected Automatically

Ordinary web systems may record limited technical 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

Cookie Controls

Cookies help measure how visitors use the site. A browser can reject them, although some features may then work differently.


How Information Is Used

  • Operate the site and maintain performance
  • Send search requests to the selected partner
  • Understand which pages visitors find useful
  • Diagnose and repair technical problems
  • Display advertising that may reflect interests

Privacy Beyond This Site

Links lead to sheriff and corrections pages, government record portals, and outside search services. After a visitor follows a link, that destination's privacy policy controls.

Some advertising partners may measure activity across websites to select ads. That processing occurs on their systems, not ours.


Parties That May Receive Data

We do not sell personal information. Limited data may be handled by:

  • Search partners processing a submitted query
  • Analytics providers measuring site use
  • Advertising networks serving ads
  • Law-enforcement or government bodies acting under a valid legal order

Reasonable Security Measures

Standard safeguards are used to protect information. No internet-connected service is completely secure, so we cannot promise that a breach will never occur.


Visitors Under Eighteen

The site is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect information from anyone under 18. Contact us to request deletion if a minor submitted personal data.


Your Information Choices

  • Ask for a copy of personal data we hold
  • Request correction of inaccurate information
  • Ask that eligible information be erased
  • Opt out of certain processing where the law provides that choice
