Privacy Notice

This Privacy Notice describes the information connected with a visit to Josephine County Released Inmates. It explains what a reader may submit, which technical details can be gathered automatically, how cookies and outside providers operate, and when information may be shared. It also states the choices available to a user. By continuing to use the site, a visitor accepts the practices described here. Government portals linked for Josephine County or Oregon records have separate policies and control data collected on their own systems.

Information You Submit

Terms Entered in Search Boxes

When a visitor enters a name or location in a search tool, the query is sent to the independent provider that operates that tool. Josephine County Released Inmates does not store or log those search terms on its own systems. The provider’s policy applies to its receipt and use of the query.

Emails and Other Messages

If a reader sends an email or contact message, we keep the information needed to read and answer it. We do not share the message outside our organization unless disclosure is required by law or a valid legal process.

Technical Data Collected Automatically

Ordinary web systems can record technical and usage details when a page loads. Those records may include:

  • The internet protocol address used for the visit.
  • The browser name and version.
  • The device category and operating system.
  • Pages viewed and the time spent on them.
  • The referring website, when one is supplied.
  • The date and time of each request.

Cookie Controls

Cookies help measure site use and support normal features. A browser can reject or remove them through its settings. Blocking cookies may change how certain tools, preferences, or page elements behave.

Reasons We Use Data

Collected information is used only for operating, understanding, and supporting the service. Common uses are:

  • Keeping pages available and responsive.
  • Sending a search request to the selected partner service.
  • Learning which Josephine County resource pages readers use.
  • Finding errors, abuse, and technical faults.
  • Displaying advertising that may reflect a visitor’s interests.

Government and Outside Links

Josephine County Released Inmates links to Sheriff and corrections pages, release-record sources, Oregon court and agency portals, and independent search tools. Oregon government record access may be governed by the Oregon Public Records Law, including ORS 192.314 and related exemptions. Once a visitor leaves this site, the destination’s privacy policy and terms control its data collection.

Some advertising partners can use their own systems to recognize activity across different websites and choose interest-based ads. That tracking occurs through the partner’s technology, not a Josephine County government system and not records held by this site.

Parties That May Receive Data

We do not sell personal information. Limited information may be handled by the following parties when needed for the stated service:

  • Search partners that process a query submitted to their tool.
  • Analytics providers that measure traffic and page use.
  • Advertising networks that deliver or assess ads.
  • Law enforcement or another government body acting under a valid legal order.

Security Has Practical Limits

We use standard administrative and technical practices intended to protect information under our control. No website, network, transmission method, or storage system can be guaranteed free from every intrusion or loss. We therefore cannot promise that information will always remain secure or that a breach is impossible.

Service Is for Adults

This site is intended for people who are at least 18 years old. We do not knowingly collect personal information from a child. If a parent or guardian believes a minor submitted information, a deletion request may be sent through the Contact Us page.

Your Information Choices

Subject to applicable law and our ability to identify the requester and data, a person may ask us to:

  • Provide a copy of personal information we hold.
  • Correct information that is inaccurate.
  • Delete information where a deletion right applies.
  • Stop or opt out of certain processing where that choice is available.

Changes to This Notice

We may revise this Privacy Notice as site practices, providers, or legal requirements change. A revised version becomes effective when posted here and will carry an updated effective date.
