Privacy Notice

This notice describes what data Wayne County Released Inmates receives, how it is used, and when it may be shared. It also explains third-party search tools, cookies, security limits, and user choices. By using the site, you accept the practices described here.

Information You Submit

Terms Entered in Search Tools

A name, location, or other term entered in a search box is sent to the outside provider that operates the tool. Wayne County Released Inmates does not store or log those search terms on its own systems. The provider's privacy terms govern its receipt and use of the query.

Emails and Messages

If you send an email or contact-form message, we retain the message and contact details as needed to respond. We do not share the message outside the organization unless disclosure is legally required.


Technical Data Collected Automatically

Routine technical records may be created when a browser loads a page. They can contain:

  • The internet protocol address used for the request
  • Browser name and version
  • Device category and operating system
  • Pages viewed and time spent on them
  • The referring page or site, when supplied
  • Date and time stamps for activity

Cookies and Browser Controls

Cookies may help measure how visitors use the site and support site functions. Most browsers let users remove or block cookies. Some features may work differently when cookies are disabled.


How Information Is Used

Collected data supports the operation and maintenance of this Wayne County release resource. It may be used to:

  • Keep pages available, stable, and responsive
  • Send a search request to the selected partner service
  • Measure which record and release topics visitors use
  • Find, diagnose, and repair technical problems
  • Display advertising that may reflect visitor interests

Websites Beyond Our Control

Links may lead to Wayne County offices, Mississippi corrections resources, federal locators, release-record portals, legal resources, or commercial search providers. Once a visitor leaves this site, the destination's privacy policy and practices apply.

Advertising partners may use their own systems to measure activity across multiple sites and select interest-based ads. That tracking occurs under those providers' controls, not as a record maintained by Wayne County Released Inmates.


Parties That May Receive Data

We do not sell personal data. Information may be available to limited parties that perform or support a stated function:

  • Search partners that receive queries submitted to their tools
  • Analytics providers that measure site use
  • Advertising networks that deliver or evaluate ads
  • Law enforcement or another government body responding to a valid legal order

Security Has Practical Limits

We use customary safeguards intended to protect information. No internet transmission, connected service, or storage system is fully secure. We cannot promise that a breach, loss, misuse, or unauthorized access will never occur.


Visitors Younger Than Eighteen

This service is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under eighteen. A parent or guardian who believes a minor submitted information may use the Contact Us page to request review and deletion.


Your Privacy Choices

Subject to applicable law and the ability to verify a request, a user may:

  • Ask for a copy of personal data we hold
  • Request correction of inaccurate personal information
  • Ask that eligible personal data be erased
  • Object to or opt out of certain processing

Changes to This Notice

We may revise this privacy notice when practices, services, or legal duties change. An updated version takes effect when posted here with a revised effective date.
