Alachua Privacy Notice

This notice describes what Alachua County Released Inmates collects, how the information is used, and when service providers or lawful authorities may receive it. Use of the site means acceptance of these practices.

Information You Submit

Search terms

A name, county, or other term entered in a search box passes to the third-party provider that operates the tool. We do not store or log those queries on our systems.

Messages

Email or contact-form content is retained as needed to reply. It is not shared outside our organization unless the law requires disclosure.


Technical Data Collected

A page request may create routine technical and usage records:

  • Internet Protocol address.
  • Browser name and version.
  • Device class and operating system.
  • Pages viewed and time spent.
  • The referring site, when supplied.
  • Request dates and timestamps.

Cookie controls

Cookies help measure use of the site. A browser can reject or remove them, although a blocked cookie may change how some functions behave.


Reasons We Use Data

Collected information supports operation and improvement of the service.

  • Maintain reliable and responsive pages.
  • Send a query to the selected search partner.
  • Measure which resources visitors use.
  • Find errors and repair technical faults.
  • Display advertising that may reflect interests.

Privacy Beyond Our Pages

Links lead to sheriff and corrections pages, public-record portals, release tools, and outside search services. Once a visitor leaves, the destination's privacy terms control.

Some advertising providers may track activity across different sites for interest-based ads. That collection occurs on the provider's systems.


Parties That May Receive Data

We do not sell personal information. Limited data may reach:

  • Search partners processing a submitted query.
  • Analytics providers measuring traffic.
  • Advertising networks serving ads.
  • Law-enforcement or government bodies acting under a valid legal order.

Security Has Limits

We use standard safeguards suited to the service. No internet-connected system can be guaranteed secure or immune from a breach.


Adults Only

The service is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect data from anyone younger than 18. Contact us if a minor submitted information so it can be reviewed for deletion.


Your Privacy Choices

Subject to applicable law and verification, a user may:

  • Ask for a copy of personal data we hold.
  • Request correction of inaccurate information.
  • Ask that eligible data be erased.
  • Opt out of certain processing when that right applies.
