Privacy Notice

This notice describes the information Jefferson County Released Inmates may receive, how it is used, and when another party may handle it. By using the site, you accept these practices. Government portals and outside search services have separate policies once you leave this site.

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.

Messages Sent to Us

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.


Technical Data Collected Automatically

Like most websites, this site may receive basic technical and usage information when a page loads. That information may include:

  • Your internet protocol address
  • Browser type and version
  • Device category and operating system
  • Pages viewed and time spent on them
  • The referring website, when available
  • Date and time records for visits

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.

  • Keeping pages available and responsive
  • Sending a search request to the selected provider
  • Understanding which Jefferson County resources visitors use
  • Diagnosing errors and improving site security
  • Displaying advertising that may reflect general interests

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.


Parties That May Receive Data

We do not sell personal information. Limited data may be handled by these parties when necessary:

  • Search partners that process submitted queries
  • Analytics providers that measure site use
  • 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.


Visitors Younger Than Eighteen

This site is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If a minor has submitted information, contact us and request its deletion.


Your Privacy Choices

Subject to applicable law and the information we actually hold, you may make the following requests:

  • Ask for a copy of personal data we hold about you
  • Correct information that is inaccurate
  • Request deletion of eligible information
  • Object to or opt out of certain processing

We may revise this Privacy Notice as practices or legal duties change. A revised version takes effect when posted here with its updated effective date.
