Information You Submit
Search Terms
A name, location, or other detail entered into a search box is transmitted to the third-party company that operates that search tool. Orange County Released Inmates does not store or log those query terms on its own systems. The provider's privacy terms govern its receipt and handling of the query.
Messages Sent to Us
If you email us or submit a contact message, we retain the details needed to review and answer it. We do not share that correspondence outside the organization unless disclosure is required by law. Do not send sensitive custody, financial, or identity information that is not needed for the question.
Information Collected Automatically
Standard web systems may record technical and usage details each time a page loads. Those details can include:
- The Internet Protocol address used for the request.
- The browser name and version.
- The device category and operating system.
- The pages viewed and approximate time spent on them.
- The referring website, when a referral is available.
- The date and time of the request.
Cookies
Cookies and similar storage help measure how visitors use the site. You can block or delete cookies through browser controls. Some functions, preferences, analytics, or advertising features may work differently when cookies are disabled.
How Information Is Used
Collected information supports the site's operation and the delivery of requested tools. It may be used to:
- Keep pages available, stable, and responsive.
- Send a search request to the provider selected by the visitor.
- Measure which Orange County release and facility pages are useful.
- Detect faults, abuse, and other technical problems.
- Display advertising that may be based on inferred interests.
Websites and Advertising Providers
Links may lead to Orange County Corrections, FDC, courts, federal locators, public-record portals, or third-party search tools. Once you leave this site, the destination's own privacy policy and data practices apply. Review those terms before sending a query or personal detail.
Some advertising companies may use their systems to recognize activity across different websites and select targeted ads. That cross-site processing occurs through their services, not as an Orange County Released Inmates record.
Parties That May Receive Data
We do not sell personal information. Data may be provided or transmitted to these limited recipients as needed:
- Search partners that process a query entered into their tool.
- Analytics providers that measure site traffic and use.
- Advertising networks that deliver and assess ads.
- Law enforcement or another government body when disclosure is required by a valid legal order.
Security Practices and Limits
We use reasonable, commonly accepted measures to protect information under our control. No website, network, storage system, or Internet transmission can be guaranteed completely secure. We therefore cannot promise that a breach, loss, or unauthorized access will never occur.
People Under Eighteen
This site is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. A parent or legal guardian who believes a minor submitted information may use the Contacts page to request review and deletion.
Your Privacy Choices
Subject to applicable law and our ability to verify the request, you may:
- Ask for a copy of personal information we hold about you.
- Request correction of inaccurate information.
- Ask that eligible personal information be deleted.
- Object to or opt out of certain types of processing.
Changes to This Notice
We may revise this Privacy Notice as site practices, providers, or legal duties change. The updated version takes effect when it is posted here with a new effective date. Continued use after posting means the revised notice applies.
