Privacy Notice

This Privacy Notice describes what Ashland County Released Inmates collects, how the information is used, and when another party may receive it. The practices cover visits to the site, use of a search box, and messages sent to us. Outside government portals and search services follow their own policies. By using this site, you accept the practices described here.

Information You Submit

Terms Entered in Search

When you enter a name, location, or other terms in a search tool, the query passes to the third-party provider that operates that tool. Ashland County Released Inmates does not store or log those search terms on its own systems. The provider's handling of a submitted query is controlled by its privacy terms.

Emails and Other Messages

If you send an email or use a contact form, we retain the message and the contact details it contains so we can review and answer it. We do not share that correspondence outside our organization unless disclosure is required by law.


Information Collected Automatically

Routine technical records may be created when a page loads. These records help operate and assess the site and may contain:

  • The internet protocol address associated with the request
  • The browser name and version
  • The device category and operating system
  • The pages viewed and the time spent on them
  • The referring website, when one is supplied
  • The date and time of the visit

Cookie Use

Cookies and similar browser storage may help show how visitors move through the site. You can limit or block cookies through browser controls. If you do, parts of the site or a third-party feature may work differently or may not retain a preference.


How Information Is Used

  • Operate the site and maintain reasonable speed and availability
  • Send a search request to the appropriate partner service
  • Understand which release-record pages visitors find useful
  • Detect errors, diagnose failures, and correct technical problems
  • Display advertising that may be selected according to likely interests

Links and Outside Services

Ashland County Released Inmates links to sheriff and corrections pages, official release-record portals, court sources, and third-party search tools. Once you follow one of those links, the destination's privacy policy and data practices apply. We do not control how an outside website gathers or uses information.

Some advertising partners may use their own systems to recognize activity across more than one website and select interest-based advertising. That tracking takes place through the partner's technology, not through a database operated by Ashland County Released Inmates.


Parties That May Receive Data

We do not sell personal information. Limited data may be available to the following parties when needed for the stated function:

  • Search partners that process a query you submit
  • Analytics providers that measure site use
  • Advertising networks that deliver or assess ads
  • Law enforcement or another government body responding under a valid legal order

Security Measures and Limits

We use standard administrative and technical practices intended to protect information in our control. No website, network connection, storage service, or transmission method can be guaranteed as fully secure. We therefore cannot promise that data will never be lost, accessed without permission, or exposed through a security incident.


Visitors Under Eighteen

This site is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If you believe a minor submitted personal data, notify us so the material can be reviewed and deleted where appropriate.


Your Privacy Choices

  • Ask for a copy of personal information we hold about you
  • Request correction of information that is inaccurate
  • Ask us to erase personal data where the request applies
  • Object to or opt out of certain forms of processing

Changes to This Notice

We may revise this Privacy Notice as site practices, services, or legal requirements change. An updated version will be posted on this page with a new effective date. Continued use after a revision means the current notice governs that visit.
