Privacy Notice

This notice describes the information Marion County Released Inmates may receive, how it is used, and when it can reach another service. It also explains cookies, security limits, and user choices. Using the site means accepting these practices.

Information You Submit

Queries in Search Boxes

A name, place, or other term entered into a search tool is sent to the third-party provider that operates the tool. Marion County Released Inmates does not store or log those query terms on its own systems. The provider's rules govern its processing.

Messages Sent to Us

If you send an email or contact-form message, we retain enough of it to read and answer your request. We do not share that message outside the organization unless disclosure is required by law.


Automatic Technical Details

Basic technical information can be recorded when a page loads. This helps the site operate and shows broad patterns without turning those logs into official inmate or release records.

  • Internet Protocol address
  • Browser name and version
  • Device type and operating system
  • Pages viewed and time spent
  • Referring site, when supplied
  • Date and time stamps

Cookies

Cookies help measure how visitors use the site and may support outside advertising or search tools. Browser controls can block or remove cookies, though some features may then work differently.


How Information Is Used

Collected data supports a limited set of operational needs.

  • Keep pages available and responsive
  • Send a search request to the selected partner
  • Measure which content is useful
  • Detect and repair technical faults
  • Display advertising that may reflect interests

Links and Outside Services

Links may lead to MCCC, the Marion County Sheriff, Ohio courts, ODRC, release records, federal locators, or third-party search services. Once a visitor leaves, the destination's privacy policy controls its collection and use of data.

Advertising companies may track activity across multiple sites from their own systems to select ads. Their tracking is not operated as a Marion County public record and is outside this site's direct control.


Parties That May Receive Data

We do not sell personal information. Data may still reach a party needed to provide or secure the service.

  • Search partners that process submitted queries
  • Analytics providers that measure site activity
  • Advertising networks that deliver ads
  • Law enforcement or another government body acting under a valid legal order

Reasonable Security Measures

Standard safeguards are used to protect information in our control. No website, connection, or storage system can be promised as fully secure, and this notice does not offer a breach-proof guarantee.


Visitors Under Eighteen

The site is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. A parent or guardian who believes a minor submitted data may use the Contacts page to request deletion.


Your Privacy Choices

Depending on the law that applies, a user may make the following requests about personal data held by this site.

  • Receive a copy of the held information
  • Correct inaccurate personal details
  • Ask for deletion
  • Object to or opt out of certain processing
