Information You Choose to Send
Queries Entered in Search Tools
When you enter a name, place, or other query into a search tool, the query is sent to the third-party provider that operates that tool. Shelby County Released Inmates does not store or log those search terms on its own systems. The provider may process the query under its separate privacy terms.
Emails and Contact Messages
If you send an email or use a contact form, the message and the contact details you provide may be retained long enough to review and respond. Messages are not shared outside the organization unless disclosure is required by law. Do not send sensitive personal records that are not needed for the question.
Technical Details Collected Automatically
Ordinary web operations may create limited technical records each time a page loads. These records help deliver the site, identify faults, and understand broad traffic patterns. They may include:
- The internet protocol address used for the visit
- Browser name and version
- Device category and operating system
- Pages viewed and time spent on them
- The referring website, when one is supplied
- Date and time stamps associated with requests
Cookie Settings
Cookies may be used to measure how visitors move through the site and to support site functions. Most browsers let you reject, limit, or remove cookies. Blocking them may cause some tools, saved choices, analytics, or advertising features to work differently.
How Information Supports the Site
Collected information is used only for operational, measurement, search-routing, and advertising functions connected with the site. Those purposes include:
- Keeping pages available, responsive, and efficient
- Sending a search request to the partner service that handles it
- Learning which Shelby County resource pages visitors find useful
- Finding, diagnosing, and correcting technical problems
- Displaying advertising that may be selected by inferred interests
Technical traffic patterns may help distinguish interest in the Shelby County Sheriff, Missouri Case.net, MODOC, MOVANS, BOP, ICE, or USMS information. They do not turn this private site into the custodian of any government record.
Outside Links and Advertising
Shelby County Released Inmates links to release-record sources, the Shelby County Sheriff, Missouri courts and corrections, MOVANS, federal custody systems, and third-party search tools. Once you follow an outside link, that operator's privacy policy and data practices control your visit. This Privacy Notice does not govern an agency portal or outside service.
Some advertising partners may use their own cookies or similar technologies to follow activity across websites and select interest-based advertisements. That tracking occurs on the advertising partner's systems, not within records held by this site. Review the partner's notice and opt-out controls for details.
Parties That May Receive Data
Personal information is not sold. Limited information may be provided to service recipients when needed to operate the site or comply with law. Those recipients may include:
- Search partners that receive and process an entered query
- Analytics providers that measure site performance and use
- Advertising networks that deliver and measure advertisements
- Law enforcement agencies or government bodies acting under a valid legal order
A legal disclosure is limited to what the applicable order and law require. Government records reached through outbound links remain with the Shelby County, Missouri, or federal office that maintains them.
Reasonable Security, Not a Guarantee
Standard safeguards are used to reduce unauthorized access, loss, or misuse of information handled by the site. No internet connection, email system, server, or storage method can be promised as completely secure. Shelby County Released Inmates therefore cannot guarantee that a breach, interruption, or unauthorized access will never occur.
Visitors Younger Than Eighteen
This site is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under eighteen. If a parent or guardian believes a minor submitted personal information, use the Contacts page to request review and deletion.
Choices About Your Information
Subject to applicable law and the limits of the data actually held, you may ask about the following privacy choices:
- Requesting a copy of personal data held about you
- Correcting information that is inaccurate
- Requesting deletion of information that may lawfully be erased
- Opting out of certain processing when an applicable right permits it
Requests about a sheriff release entry, Case.net docket, MODOC record, MOVANS registration, BOP result, or ICE record must go to the agency or service that holds it. This site cannot change government or partner databases.
Revisions to This Notice
This Privacy Notice may be revised as the site, providers, or legal requirements change. Any revised version will be posted on this page with a new effective date, and use after posting will be subject to the updated notice.
