Privacy Notice

This notice describes what information Manatee County Released Inmates receives, how that information is used, and the limited situations in which it may be shared. It also explains cookies, outside links, security limits, and user choices. By using the site, a visitor accepts these practices.

Information You Choose to Send

Search Terms

A name or location entered in a search box is sent to the outside provider that operates the tool. This site does not store or log those search terms on its own systems.

Messages

If you send an email or contact message, we retain what is needed to answer it. We do not share that message outside the organization unless disclosure is required by law.


Technical Data Collected Automatically

Normal web systems may record limited technical and usage information when a page loads:

  • Internet Protocol address
  • Browser name and version
  • Device type and operating system
  • Pages viewed and time spent on them
  • 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.


Reasons We Use Information

Collected information supports ordinary site operations. It may be used to:

  • Keep pages available and responsive
  • Send a search request to the selected provider
  • Understand which resources visitors use
  • Diagnose and correct technical faults
  • Display advertising that may reflect visitor interests

Other Websites and Advertising

Links may lead to Sheriff release records, Florida corrections systems, court portals, federal locators, or third-party search tools. Once a visitor leaves, the destination's privacy policy applies. Some advertising providers may measure activity across sites for interest-based ads. That tracking occurs through their systems, not records hosted by this site.


When Data May Be Shared

We do not sell personal information. Limited data may be provided to:

  • Search partners that process a submitted query
  • Analytics vendors that measure site use
  • Advertising networks that deliver ads
  • Law enforcement or government bodies acting under a valid legal order

Security Measures and Limits

We use reasonable, standard safeguards for information under our control. No internet-connected service can guarantee perfect security, and this site cannot promise that a breach will never occur.


Visitors Under Eighteen

This site is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect information from anyone under 18. A parent or guardian who believes a minor submitted data may contact us to request deletion.


Your Privacy Choices

Subject to applicable law, a user may ask to:

  • Receive a copy of personal data we hold
  • Correct inaccurate personal information
  • Delete qualifying personal information
  • Opt out of certain processing

Changes to This Notice

We may revise this privacy notice as practices or requirements change. A new version takes effect when posted here with an updated effective date.
