Privacy Notice

This notice explains what information Defiance County Released Inmates receives, how it is used, and when it may be shared. It covers information a visitor submits, routine technical data, cookies, outside services, and available privacy choices. By continuing to use the site, a visitor accepts the practices described here.

Information You Submit

Search entries

A name, location, or other term entered in a search tool is sent to the third-party provider operating that tool. This site does not keep or log those search terms on its own systems.

Messages

Information sent by email or through a contact message is retained as needed to answer the request. It is not shared outside the organization unless disclosure is required by law.


Information Collected Automatically

Routine page requests can provide technical details used to operate and understand the site. These may include:

  • Internet Protocol address
  • Browser name and version
  • Device type and operating system
  • Pages viewed and time spent on them
  • The referring website, when one is supplied
  • Date and time stamps

Cookies

Cookies may help measure how visitors move through the site. A browser can reject or remove cookies, though blocking them may change how some features work.


How Information Supports the Site

Collected information may be used to keep pages available and responsive, send a search request to the selected partner, learn which material is useful, diagnose technical faults, and display advertising that may reflect a visitor’s interests.


Other Websites and Advertising

Links lead to CCNO, Defiance County offices and courts, ODRC, federal resources, release-record sources, and third-party search tools. Once a visitor leaves this site, the destination’s own privacy policy and data practices apply.

Advertising providers may use their own technology to follow activity across websites and select interest-based ads. That tracking occurs on the provider’s systems, not as a record stored by this site.


Parties That May Receive Data

Personal information is not sold. It may be processed or disclosed to search partners that handle submitted queries, analytics providers, advertising networks, and law-enforcement or government bodies acting under a valid legal order.


Security Is a Shared Risk

Reasonable, commonly used safeguards are applied to information under this site’s control. No internet-connected service is immune from misuse, interception, or failure, so absolute security or a breach-proof system cannot be promised.


Visitors Under Eighteen

The site is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under eighteen. A parent or guardian who believes a minor submitted information may request its deletion through the Get in Touch page.


Your Privacy Choices

Subject to applicable law and the ability to verify a request, a visitor may ask for a copy of personal data held by the site, request correction of inaccurate data, seek deletion, or object to certain processing. Requests can be sent through the Get in Touch page.


Changes to This Notice

This privacy notice may be revised as services or practices change. A new version takes effect when it is posted here with an updated effective date.
