Information You Choose to Send
Search Queries
A name, place, or other term entered in a search box is sent to the third-party provider that operates that tool. Big Stone County Released Inmates does not store or log those search terms on its own systems.
Messages and Contact Submissions
If you send an email or contact message, we keep the information needed to review and answer it. We do not share that message outside the organization unless disclosure is required by law.
Technical Data from Visits
Normal web operations may collect limited technical details when a page loads:
- 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 website, when supplied
- Date and time stamps for requests
Cookies
Cookies may help measure how visitors use the site. You can block cookies through browser settings, although some functions may then behave differently.
How Visit Data Is Used
The data supports routine operation and helps us understand whether the pages work as expected.
- Maintain reliable and responsive pages
- Send search requests to the selected partner service
- Measure which content visitors use
- Diagnose errors and performance problems
- Display advertising that may reflect general interests
Privacy Beyond This Domain
Links may lead to sheriff and corrections pages, release-record portals, court systems, federal locators, or outside search tools. Once you leave this domain, the destination’s own privacy terms and technology apply.
Some advertising providers may measure activity across multiple websites to select ads. That processing occurs through the provider’s systems and policies, not as an official Big Stone County function.
Parties That May Receive Data
We do not sell personal data. Limited information may be handled by:
- Search partners that process submitted queries
- Analytics providers that measure site use
- Advertising networks that deliver ads
- Law-enforcement or government authorities acting under a valid legal order
Reasonable Security Measures
We use standard safeguards suited to a public reference site. No internet-connected service can be guaranteed secure in every circumstance, so we cannot promise that a breach or unauthorized access will never occur.
Adults Only
This site is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under eighteen. Contact us if a minor submitted information so a deletion request can be reviewed.
Choices About Personal Data
Depending on the law that applies, you may ask us to:
- Provide a copy of personal data we hold
- Correct inaccurate personal information
- Delete information where a valid right applies
- Stop certain processing where an opt-out right applies
Changes to This Notice
This privacy notice may be revised as practices or legal duties change. An updated version will appear here with a new effective date.
