Privacy Notice

This notice describes the privacy practices of Martin County Released Inmates. It explains what information visitors provide, what technical details may be collected automatically, why that information is used, and the limited circumstances in which it may reach another party. It also covers cookies, outside links, security limits, children, and choices concerning personal data. By continuing to use the site, a visitor accepts the practices described here. Government websites, search providers, analytics services, and advertising partners apply their own privacy terms to activity handled on their systems.

Information You Submit

Terms Entered in Search Tools

When a visitor enters a name, location, or other term in a search tool, that query is transmitted to the third-party provider that operates the search service. Martin County Released Inmates does not store or log those search terms on its own systems. The provider's handling of the query is governed by its privacy policy.

Emails and Contact Messages

If a visitor sends an email or uses a contact form, we retain the message and contact details as needed to read and answer the request. Contact submissions are not shared outside the organization unless disclosure is required by law.

Technical Details Collected Automatically

Normal website and service logs may receive technical and usage information when a page loads. This data helps operate the site, assess performance, and diagnose errors. It can include:

  • The internet protocol address associated with the request
  • The browser name and version used to open the page
  • The device category and operating system
  • Pages visited and the time spent on them
  • The referring website, when one is supplied
  • The date and time of the request

Cookies and Browser Controls

Cookies may be used to understand how visitors move through the site and interact with its features. A browser can reject or remove cookies through its settings. Blocking them may cause some functions or preferences to behave differently.

How Information Supports the Site

Collected information is used only for operating and understanding this service. Uses include:

  • Keeping pages available, responsive, and reliable
  • Sending a search request to the appropriate partner service
  • Learning which pages and features visitors find useful
  • Finding, investigating, and correcting technical problems
  • Presenting advertising that may be matched to visitor interests

Government Portals and Other Websites

Martin County Released Inmates links to BSRDC release and roster resources, Kentucky court and corrections pages, federal custody tools, other government portals, and third-party search services. Once a visitor follows an outside link, the destination's privacy policy and technical practices govern activity there. This notice does not control how an outside operator collects, keeps, or uses information.

Some advertising partners may use their own technologies to recognize activity across websites and select targeted ads. Any such tracking takes place on the partner's systems, not as a search-term log maintained by this site.

Parties That May Receive Data

We do not sell visitors' personal information. Limited data may nevertheless be processed or disclosed to parties that support the site or when the law requires it:

  • Search partners that receive and process submitted queries
  • Analytics providers that measure traffic and site use
  • Advertising networks that deliver or assess advertisements
  • Law-enforcement agencies or other government bodies responding to a valid legal order

Reasonable Security, Not a Guarantee

We use standard safeguards intended to protect information against unauthorized access, loss, or misuse. No website, network transmission, or internet-connected storage system can be promised as fully secure or breach-proof. Visitors should avoid sending sensitive identifiers that are not needed for a message.

Visitors Younger Than 18

This site is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If a parent or guardian believes that a minor submitted personal data, contact us and request its deletion.

Choices About Personal Data

Depending on the law that applies to a visitor and the information involved, a person may ask us to:

  • Provide a copy of personal data we hold about that person
  • Correct personal information that is inaccurate
  • Erase personal data where deletion is available
  • Stop or opt out of certain forms of processing

These requests concern information controlled by this site. A government agency or third-party provider must address data held on its own system. Kentucky public records, including material governed by the Kentucky Open Records Act in KRS 61.870 through 61.884, remain subject to the originating agency's law, retention rules, exemptions, and correction process.

Changes to This Privacy Notice

We may revise this notice as site features, providers, or legal requirements change. An updated version will be posted on this page with a new effective date so visitors can review the current terms.
