Information You Submit
Search Box Entries
A name, place, or other term entered in a search box is sent to the third-party company that operates that tool. Okeechobee County Released Inmates does not store or log those search terms on its own systems.
Messages Sent to Us
An email or contact message may be retained long enough to answer and maintain the exchange. It is not shared outside the organization unless disclosure is required by law.
Automatic Technical Details
Standard logs and analytics may receive limited technical information when a page loads. That information can include:
- Internet Protocol address
- Browser name and version
- Device category and operating system
- Pages viewed and time spent
- The referring site, when supplied
- Date and time stamps
Cookie Controls
Cookies help measure how visitors use the pages. A browser can block or remove cookies, although parts of the site or a partner tool may then behave differently.
Reasons Data Is Used
Collected information supports a limited set of operating and measurement needs:
- Operate the site and maintain page speed
- Send search input to the selected partner service
- Measure which records topics are most useful
- Detect errors and repair technical problems
- Display advertising that may reflect user interests
Outside Sites and Tools
Links lead to sheriff and corrections pages, release-record portals, courts, and independent search tools. Once a visitor leaves this site, the destination's privacy terms govern the visit and any information submitted there.
Some advertising partners may use their own technology to follow activity across websites and tailor ads. That processing occurs on the partner's systems, not on this site's records pages.
Limited Data Recipients
Personal information is not sold. It may be handled by a limited set of recipients when needed:
- Search partners that process submitted queries
- Analytics providers that report site use
- Advertising networks serving ads
- Law enforcement or government bodies acting under a valid legal order
Reasonable Security Measures
Reasonable security practices are used to protect information in our control. No internet service, storage system, or transmission method is completely secure, so a breach-proof guarantee cannot be made.
Visitors Under Eighteen
This site is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. A parent or guardian who believes a minor submitted information may contact us and request deletion.
Your Privacy Choices
Depending on applicable law and the information actually held, a person may:
- Ask for a copy of personal data held about you
- Request correction of inaccurate information
- Ask that eligible personal data be erased
- Object to or opt out of certain processing where the law allows
Notice Revisions
This privacy notice may change as site practices or legal duties evolve. A revised version will appear on this page with an updated effective date.
