Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains what information may be collected when you use Escambia County Released Inmates, how that information is used, and when it may be shared. By using this site, you accept the practices described here. Official sheriff, court, ADOC, ABPP, VINELink, BOP, ICE, and Alabama public-record portals follow their own privacy rules after you leave this site.

Information You Provide

Search Queries

If you type a name, location, or other search term into a third-party search tool on this site, that query is sent to the provider that operates the tool. Escambia County Released Inmates does not keep its own separate log of those search terms.

Messages and Email

If you send an email or contact message, the information you provide may be kept long enough to read, route, and answer it. Those messages are not shared outside the organization unless disclosure is required by law, legal order, or a similar process.


Automatic Technical Data

Like most websites, this site may collect routine technical details when pages load. That data helps keep the site usable and identify broken pages or unusual traffic.

  • IP address or approximate network location
  • Browser name, browser version, and language settings
  • Device type and operating system
  • Pages viewed and time spent on those pages
  • Referring website, if one sent you here
  • Date and time stamps tied to visits

Cookies

Cookies and similar tools may be used to understand site traffic, keep basic preferences, measure page use, and support advertising or analytics. You can block cookies in your browser settings. Some features may work differently if cookies are disabled.


How Information Is Used

  • To keep the site available, readable, and fast
  • To route search requests to a third-party search partner when you choose to use one
  • To understand which pages help visitors find release-record resources
  • To detect technical errors, broken links, abuse, or security issues
  • To display advertising that may be based on general interests or browsing signals

Outside Websites

This site links to public records, sheriff and corrections pages, Alabama Code resources such as Section 36-12-40, court portals, federal locators, and third-party search services. Once you follow an outside link, that website's privacy policy and terms control its handling of your information.

Advertising partners may use their own cookies or identifiers to measure ads or show interest-based advertising across websites. That tracking occurs on their systems, not as an official Escambia County, Alabama, records function.


Who May Receive Data

Personal information is not sold as a standalone list. It may be available to limited parties that help operate, secure, measure, or lawfully administer the site.

  • Search partners that process search-box queries you submit
  • Analytics providers that measure site use
  • Advertising networks that serve or measure ads
  • Law enforcement, courts, regulators, or government bodies when a valid legal order requires disclosure

Data Security

Reasonable technical and organizational safeguards are used to protect information handled by this site. No internet-connected site, email system, analytics tool, or partner search tool can be guaranteed to be completely secure or free from unauthorized access.


Users Under 18

This site is intended for adults. It does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If a minor has submitted information, contact us through the Contacts page so the request can be reviewed.


Your Data Rights

  • Ask what personal information this site holds about you
  • Request correction of information you believe is wrong
  • Request deletion where retention is not required
  • Opt out of certain processing where a legal right applies

Policy Updates

This Privacy Policy may be updated as site features, partners, laws, or operational needs change. The updated version will be posted on this page with the effective date reflected by the current page content.
