Privacy Notice

This notice describes information collected through Harlan County Released Inmates, how it is used, and when it may be shared. By using the site, you accept the practices stated here.

Information You Submit

A name, location, or other term entered into a search box is sent to the third-party provider that operates the tool. This site does not store or log those search terms on its own systems. A message sent by email or a contact form may be retained long enough to answer it. Messages are not shared outside the organization unless disclosure is required by law.


Automatic Technical Data

Standard technical information may be collected when a page loads.

  • Internet Protocol address
  • Browser name and version
  • Device type and operating system
  • Pages viewed and time spent
  • Referring site, when available
  • Request timestamps

Cookies may help measure use and remember site functions. Browser controls can block cookies, although some features may then work differently.


How Data Is Used

Collected information supports routine operation and service improvement.

  • Keep pages available and responsive
  • Send search requests to the selected partner
  • Measure which resources visitors use
  • Diagnose errors and technical faults
  • Display advertising that may reflect likely interests

Links and Advertising

The site links to Harlan release resources, sheriff and corrections pages, government portals, and outside search tools. Once a visitor follows a link, the destination's privacy notice controls its data practices. Advertising partners may measure activity across websites to select ads. That processing occurs on their systems, not as a record held by this site.


Data Recipients

Personal information is not sold. Limited data may be received by:

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

Security Measures

Reasonable, commonly used safeguards protect information under the site's control. No internet service, transmission, or storage system is fully secure. The site cannot promise that a breach, interception, or unauthorized access will never occur.


Visitors Under Eighteen

The service is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. A parent or guardian who believes a minor submitted data may use the Contacts page to request review and deletion.


Your Privacy Choices

Subject to applicable law and verification, a person may ask for a copy of personal data held by the site, request correction, seek deletion, or object to certain processing. Kentucky open-record rules such as KRS Chapter 61 govern requests to public agencies, not private-site privacy requests. Contact the government custodian directly for an official Harlan record.


Notice Updates

This privacy notice may change as services or legal requirements change. A revised version takes effect when posted here with its new effective date.
