Privacy Notice

This notice describes what information may be collected when someone uses the site, how that information supports site operations, and when it may be shared. By continuing to use Somerset County Released Inmates, a visitor accepts the practices described here.

Information You Submit

Search Terms

A name, location, or other term entered in a search tool passes to the outside provider that operates that tool. This site does not keep or log those search terms on its own systems.

Messages

An email or contact message may be retained long enough to answer it. It is not shared outside the organization unless disclosure is required by law.


Technical Data Collected

Standard server and analytics systems may record basic technical details when a page loads:

  • Internet Protocol address
  • Browser name and version
  • Device class and operating system
  • Pages viewed and time spent
  • Referring website, when available
  • Date and time stamps

Cookies

Cookies help measure how visitors use the site. A browser can block or remove them, although some features may work differently when cookies are disabled.


How Information Is Used

Collected information supports ordinary site functions and service improvements. It may be used to:

  • Operate the site and maintain performance
  • Send a search request to the selected partner
  • Measure which pages visitors find useful
  • Identify and repair technical faults
  • Display advertising that may reflect visitor interests

Privacy Beyond This Site

Links lead to release records, county and corrections pages, government portals, and outside search tools. Once a visitor follows a link, that destination's privacy terms control its collection and use of data.

Some advertising providers may track activity across different websites to select ads. That tracking occurs through the provider's systems, not records maintained by this site.


When Data May Be Shared

Personal information is not sold. Limited data may be provided to:

  • Search partners that process submitted queries
  • Analytics providers
  • Advertising networks
  • Law enforcement or government bodies acting under a valid legal order

Security Measures

Reasonable security practices are used to protect information. No internet-connected service is completely secure, so this site cannot promise that a breach will never occur.


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 contact us to request deletion if a minor submitted information.


Your Privacy Choices

Depending on applicable law, a visitor may ask us to:

  • Provide a copy of personal data we hold
  • Correct inaccurate information
  • Erase eligible information
  • Stop certain forms of processing

Changes to This Notice

This privacy notice may be revised. Any change takes effect when the updated version and its new effective date are posted here.
