Information You Submit
Terms Entered in Search Tools
When you type a name, place, or other term into a partner search tool, that entry is sent to the third-party provider that operates the tool. Fairfield County Released Inmates does not store or log those search terms on its own systems. The provider's privacy terms apply to its handling of the query.
Messages Sent to Us
If you send an email or use a contact form, we retain the message and contact details as needed to respond. We do not share that correspondence outside the organization unless disclosure is required by law.
Technical Data Collected Automatically
Like most websites, the site can receive routine technical and usage details when a page loads. Those details may include:
- Your internet protocol address
- Your browser name and version
- Your device class and operating system
- The pages viewed and time spent on them
- The site or page that referred your visit, when available
- The date and time of each request
Cookies
Cookies help measure how visitors use the site. You may block them through your browser settings, though some functions may then work differently or retain fewer preferences.
How Information Is Used
Information is used only for routine site, search-routing, measurement, repair, and advertising functions.
- Operate the site and maintain reasonable performance
- Send a submitted search to the selected partner service
- Understand which pages visitors find useful
- Detect, diagnose, and repair technical faults
- Present advertising that may reflect visitor interests
Links and Outside Services
Pages may link to Fairfield County records sources, the Sheriff's Office, Ohio corrections services, court portals, federal locators, and outside search tools. Public access to an Ohio government record is governed by the originating office and applicable law, including R.C. 149.43, not by this privacy notice. Once you leave this site, the destination's own privacy notice controls its collection and use of data.
Some advertising providers may use their own systems to recognize activity across websites and choose interest-based ads. That cross-site processing occurs under the provider's practices, not as a record held by this site.
Parties That May Receive Data
We do not sell personal information. Limited data may be processed or disclosed to:
- Search partners that receive a query you submit
- Analytics providers that measure site use
- Advertising networks that deliver or assess ads
- Law enforcement or another government body acting under a valid legal order
Security Measures
We use customary safeguards intended to protect information in our control. No internet connection, storage platform, or online service is completely secure, so we cannot promise that a breach or unauthorized access will never occur.
Visitors Under Eighteen
This site is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under 18. A parent or guardian who believes a minor submitted information may use the Contacts page to request its deletion.
Your Privacy Choices
Subject to applicable law and the nature of the request, you may ask us to take the following actions with personal data in our control:
- Ask for a copy of personal data we hold about you
- Request correction of inaccurate personal information
- Ask that eligible personal data be erased
- Object to or opt out of certain processing where applicable
Changes to This Notice
We may revise this privacy notice as the site, its providers, or legal requirements change. A revised version becomes effective when posted here with its updated effective date.
