Information You Submit
Terms Entered in Search Tools
A name, place, or other detail entered into a search box is sent to the third-party provider that operates the tool. Jefferson County Released Inmates does not store or log those search terms on its own systems. The provider's privacy terms govern its handling of the query.

If you send an email or contact message, we retain the information needed to read and answer it. We do not share the message outside our organization unless disclosure is required by law.

- Pages viewed and time spent on them
- The referring website, when available

Cookies and Similar Files
Cookies help measure how people move through the site and which resources are useful. You may block cookies through your browser. Some functions may then work differently or be less reliable.
How Information Is Used
Information received through normal site use supports a limited set of operating purposes.

- Diagnosing errors and improving site security

Websites Beyond Our Control
Links may lead to Jefferson County records pages, Oregon DOC, VISOR, court resources, federal locators, or outside search tools. The destination's privacy policy applies after you follow a link. We do not control how those organizations collect or use information.
Advertising partners may use their own systems to measure activity across websites and tailor ads. That processing occurs under the partner's controls and policies, not ours.

- Advertising networks that deliver or measure ads
- Law enforcement or government bodies acting under a valid legal order
Reasonable Security Measures
We use standard safeguards intended to protect information in our care. No website, connection, or storage system is completely secure. We cannot promise that a breach or unauthorized access will never occur.
