Privacy Notice

This Privacy Notice describes the information Mason County Released Inmates receives when someone browses the site, uses a search tool, or sends a message. It also explains why information is used, which service providers or authorities may receive it, and the choices available to visitors. By continuing to use the site, a visitor accepts the practices stated here. Links and search tools operated by others are governed by those providers’ own policies once a visitor leaves this site or submits information to them.

Information You Choose to Submit

Search terms

A name, location, or other value entered into a search box is transmitted to the third-party provider that operates the search. Mason 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.

Messages sent to us

If you send an email or use a contact form, we retain the message and the contact details supplied so we can respond. Contact messages are not shared outside the organization unless disclosure is required by law.


Technical Data Collected Automatically

Routine server, analytics, and advertising technology may record technical details when a page loads. This information helps operate and understand the site and can include:

  • The visitor’s Internet Protocol address
  • Browser name and software version
  • Device category and operating system
  • Pages viewed and time spent on them
  • The referring website, when one is supplied
  • Date and time stamps for requests

Cookies and similar storage

Cookies may be used to measure how visitors move through the site and to support site, analytics, or advertising functions. Browser settings can reject or remove cookies. Blocking them may cause some features to work differently or not retain preferences.


How Information Supports the Site

Collected information is used only for ordinary operational and service purposes, including:

  • Keeping pages available, responsive, and reliable
  • Sending search requests to the correct search partner
  • Learning which Mason County record pages visitors find useful
  • Detecting, diagnosing, and correcting technical problems
  • Displaying advertising that may be selected by visitor interests

Privacy Beyond Our Pages

Mason County Released Inmates links to jail and release records, Mason County Detention Center resources, Kentucky Department of Corrections pages, government portals, and third-party search tools. Once a visitor follows an outside link or submits a query to an outside tool, that destination’s privacy policy and data practices apply. We do not control them.

Some advertising partners may use their own technology to measure activity across websites and select interest-based ads. Any cross-site tracking occurs through those partners’ systems and policies, not through a separate profile maintained by Mason County Released Inmates.


Parties That May Receive Data

We do not sell personal information. Limited data may be handled by parties that support a requested function, operate the site, or have lawful authority to obtain it:

  • Search partners that receive and process submitted queries
  • Analytics providers that measure site performance and use
  • Advertising networks that deliver or measure advertisements
  • Law enforcement or government bodies acting under a valid legal order

Security Has Practical Limits

Reasonable, commonly used safeguards are applied to information within our control. No website, network, transmission method, or Internet-connected storage system is completely secure. We therefore cannot promise that information will never be intercepted, lost, altered, or accessed without authorization.


Visitors Younger Than Eighteen

This site is intended for adults. We do not knowingly request or collect personal information from anyone under eighteen years old. A parent or guardian who believes a minor submitted personal data may contact us and request deletion of information within our control.


Your Available Privacy Choices

Subject to applicable law and our ability to verify a request, a visitor may ask us to:

  • Provide a copy of personal information we hold about that visitor
  • Correct personal information that is inaccurate
  • Erase personal information within our control
  • Stop or opt out of certain forms of processing where that choice applies

These choices concern information controlled by Mason County Released Inmates. Requests about an outside search provider, analytics service, advertising network, or government portal must be directed to that organization.


Changes to This Privacy Notice

We may revise this notice as site practices, services, or legal requirements change. The updated version will be posted on this page with a new effective date. Continued use after posting is governed by the revised notice.

Effective date: July 20, 2026.
