Privacy Notice

This notice describes the information that may be collected when someone uses Wood County Released Inmates, how that information supports the site, and when it may be shared. It also covers outside search tools, cookies, security limits, and user choices. Continued use of the site indicates acceptance of these practices.

Information You Submit

Search Entries

A name, location, or other term entered into a search box is sent to the third-party provider that operates that tool. This site does not store or log those search terms on its own systems. The provider's policy governs its collection and use after the query is submitted.

Messages

If you send an email or contact-form message, we retain the supplied contact details and message long enough to answer and manage the request. We do not share that message beyond the organization unless disclosure is required by law.


Automatic Technical Data

Routine technical details may be recorded when a page loads. They help measure traffic, maintain performance, and diagnose faults.

  • The connecting IP address
  • Browser name and version
  • Device type and operating system
  • Pages viewed and time spent on them
  • The referring website, when available
  • Date and time stamps

Cookies

Cookies may be used to understand visits and feature use. Most browsers let users reject or delete cookies. Blocking them can cause some site or partner functions to behave differently.


How Data Supports the Site

Collected information is used only for operational and service purposes described here.

  • Keep pages available, stable, and responsive
  • Send search requests to the selected partner service
  • Understand which content is useful
  • Detect and repair technical problems
  • Present advertising that may reflect visitor interests

Links Beyond This Site

Pages link to official sources such as Wood County Sheriff records requests, the ODRC Offender Search, and Wood County Common Pleas CourtView, as well as outside search services. Once a visitor follows a link, the destination's privacy terms apply. This notice does not control another site's collection, storage, or disclosure.

Some advertising partners may measure activity across different websites to select interest-based ads. That tracking occurs on the partner's systems, not as a database maintained by Wood County Released Inmates.


Parties That May Receive Data

We do not sell personal information. Data may nevertheless reach a limited group when needed to provide or protect the service.

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

Security Measures and Limits

Reasonable, commonly used safeguards are applied to information under our control. No website, network, transmission method, or storage system can be guaranteed breach-proof. Users should avoid sending unneeded sensitive identifiers through ordinary messages.


Visitors Under Eighteen

This site is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under eighteen. A parent or guardian who believes a minor submitted information may use the Contacts page to request deletion.


Your Privacy Choices

Subject to applicable law and the data actually held, a user may make the following requests:

  • Ask for a copy of personal data we maintain
  • Correct inaccurate submitted information
  • Request deletion of held personal data
  • Opt out of certain processing where that choice applies

Changes to This Notice

This privacy notice may be revised as services or practices change. A revised version becomes available on this page with an updated effective date. Continued use after posting is subject to the new notice.
