Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains what Colusa County Released Inmates may collect when someone uses the site, sends a message, or interacts with a search partner. It also describes how data may be used, shared, protected, and updated. Using the site means accepting these practices.

Information You Provide

Search Queries

Names, locations, or other terms entered into a search box are sent to the third-party provider that operates that tool. Colusa County Released Inmates does not keep a separate local log of those search terms.

Messages

If you send an email or contact message, the information in that message may be kept long enough to read it, respond, and handle any follow-up. It is not shared outside the organization unless a valid legal requirement applies.


Automatic Technical Data

Like most websites, this site may receive routine technical details when pages load.

  • IP address.
  • Browser type and version.
  • Device type and operating system.
  • Pages visited and approximate time spent on them.
  • Referring website, when one is passed to the server.
  • Date and time stamps.

Cookies

Cookies and similar tools may be used to understand site use and support advertising or analytics. Browser settings can block or delete cookies, although some features may behave differently after cookies are disabled.


How Data Is Used

  • Keep the site available and performing well.
  • Send search requests to the correct partner service.
  • Understand which pages are useful to visitors.
  • Find and repair technical problems.
  • Support ads that may be tailored by advertising partners.

Outside Websites

The site links to sheriff, jail, court, corrections, VINE, federal, immigration, and third-party search resources. Once a visitor leaves this site, the destination site's own privacy policy controls its data practices.

Advertising partners may use their own systems to measure or tailor ads across websites. Those activities are handled by the partner, not by Colusa County Released Inmates.


Limited Sharing

Personal information is not sold by this site. It may be available to the following categories when needed.

  • Search partners that process submitted queries.
  • Analytics providers that measure site use.
  • Advertising networks that support ads.
  • Law enforcement or government bodies when a valid legal order requires disclosure.

Data Protection

Reasonable security practices are used for site operations, but no internet-connected system can be guaranteed breach-proof. Visitors should avoid sending sensitive personal details that are not needed for a message.


Users Under 18

The site is intended for adults. It does not knowingly collect information from anyone under 18. A parent or guardian may request deletion if a minor submitted information.


Your Data Rights

  • Request a copy of information held by the site.
  • Ask that inaccurate information be corrected.
  • Request deletion when legally available.
  • Opt out of certain processing where applicable law gives that right.

Policy Updates

This policy may be revised as site operations or legal requirements change. Updates will be posted on this page with the revised effective date when one is used.
