Privacy Notice

This notice describes the information Oconee County Released Inmates receives, how that information is used, and the limited circumstances in which it may be shared. It also covers cookies, outside services, security, and user choices. By using the site, you accept the practices stated here.

Information You Submit

Terms Entered in Search Tools

When you enter a name, location, or other query into a search box, the terms pass to the independent provider operating that tool. Oconee 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 request.

Emails and Other Messages

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


Information Collected Automatically

Routine technical information may be recorded when a page loads. It helps measure traffic, maintain site performance, and diagnose faults.

  • Your Internet Protocol address
  • Your browser name and version
  • Your device type and operating system
  • The pages visited and time spent on them
  • The referring website, when available
  • The date and time of the request

Cookies

Cookies may be used to understand how visitors move through the site and to support site functions. Most browsers let you reject or delete cookies. Some features may work differently when cookies are blocked.


How Information Is Used

Collected information supports the operation and improvement of this Oconee County reference resource.

  • Keep pages available, responsive, and secure
  • Send search requests to the selected partner service
  • Understand which information visitors find useful
  • Identify and repair technical problems
  • Display advertising that may reflect visitor interests

External Sites and Advertising

Links may lead to Oconee County release records, sheriff and corrections pages, South Carolina government portals, or independent search services. Once you follow a link, the destination's privacy policy controls its collection and use of information.

Some advertising partners may use their own technology to follow activity across websites and select interest-based ads. That tracking occurs on the partner's systems, not on systems controlled by Oconee County Released Inmates.


Limited Data Sharing

We do not sell personal information. Information may still be received by a limited group of service providers or public authorities when needed for the functions described here.

  • Search partners that process a submitted query
  • Analytics providers that measure site use
  • Advertising networks that deliver ads
  • Law enforcement or another government body acting under a valid legal order

Security Measures and Limits

Reasonable, standard safeguards are used to protect information under our control. No website, network, or internet transmission can be guaranteed secure, however. We cannot promise that a breach, loss, or unauthorized access will never occur.


Visitors Younger Than 18

This site is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If a parent or guardian believes a minor submitted information, use the Contacts page to request its deletion.

You may contact us about personal information held directly by this site. Available requests may depend on the applicable law and whether we can verify the request.

  • Ask for a copy of personal information we hold
  • Request correction of inaccurate information
  • Request deletion of personal information
