Privacy Notice

This notice describes the information handled when someone visits Fayette County Released Inmates, uses a partner search tool, or sends a message. It explains collection, use, limited disclosure, cookies, outside links, security, and user choices. Continued use of the site means accepting these practices.

Information You Submit

Partner Search Terms

A name, location, or other term entered in a search box is sent to the third-party provider operating that tool. This site does not keep or log those search terms on its own systems. The provider's terms and privacy policy govern its handling of the query.

Messages Sent to Us

An email or contact-form message is kept as needed to answer the sender. It is not shared outside the organization unless disclosure is required by law.


Automatic Technical Information

Standard web logs and measurement tools may record basic technical details when a page loads, including:

  • Internet Protocol address;
  • browser name and version;
  • device class and operating system;
  • pages viewed and time spent;
  • the referring page, when available; and
  • request dates and timestamps.

Cookie Controls

Cookies help measure how visitors use the site. A browser can block or remove them, though a blocked cookie may change how some features work.


How Information Is Used

  • Operate the site and maintain reasonable performance.
  • Send a search request to the selected partner service.
  • Measure which Fayette resources visitors find useful.
  • Detect errors, abuse, and technical faults.
  • Support advertising that may reflect visitor interests.

Outside Sites and Advertising

Links may lead to sheriff records, corrections pages, courts, federal locators, statutes, and third-party search tools. Once a visitor leaves, the destination's privacy policy controls its practices.

Some advertising partners may track activity across more than one website to select ads. That tracking occurs through the partner's systems, not a Fayette County government system.


Limited Data Recipients

Personal information is not sold by this site. Data may be handled by:

  • search partners that process a submitted query;
  • analytics providers measuring site use;
  • advertising networks serving or measuring ads; and
  • law-enforcement or government bodies acting under a valid legal order.

Reasonable Security Measures

Standard administrative and technical safeguards are used where appropriate. No internet-connected system can be guaranteed breach-proof, so absolute security is not promised.


Visitors Under Eighteen

The site is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. A parent or guardian may use the contact route to request deletion if a minor submitted information.


Your Privacy Choices

  • Ask for a copy of personal data held by this site.
  • Request correction of inaccurate personal data.
  • Request deletion where applicable law permits it.
  • Opt out of certain processing where that right applies.

Changes to This Notice

This privacy notice may be revised as site practices or legal duties change. A revised version will appear here with a new effective date.
