Privacy Notice

This notice explains what information may be collected while you use Pinellas County Released Inmates, how that information supports the site, and when a service provider or lawful authority may receive it. By continuing to use the site, you accept these practices.

Information You Submit

Partner Search Terms

A name or location entered in a search box passes to the third-party provider operating that tool. This site does not keep or log those search terms on its own systems.

Messages Sent to Us

If you send an email or contact message, we retain it as needed to respond. We do not share that message outside the organization unless the law requires disclosure.


Automatic Technical Information

Basic technical and usage details may be recorded when a page loads. They can include:

  • Your IP address.
  • Browser name and version.
  • Device type and operating system.
  • Pages viewed and time spent on them.
  • The referring site, when available.
  • Date and time stamps.

Cookie Controls

Cookies can help measure how visitors use the site. You may block them through browser settings, though some features may then work differently.


How Information Is Used

Collected information is used for limited operating and service purposes:

  • Maintain performance and availability.
  • Send partner searches to the selected provider.
  • Understand which pages visitors find useful.
  • Detect and repair technical problems.
  • Display advertising that may reflect user interests.

Outside Websites and Tools

Links lead to sheriff and corrections pages, government record portals, release resources, and outside search tools. Once you leave this site, the destination's privacy terms govern its collection and use of data.

Some advertising partners may use their own systems to measure activity across websites and select ads. That tracking occurs under the partner's controls, not this site's.


When Information Is Shared

We do not sell personal information. Data may be handled by:

  • Search partners processing a submitted query.
  • Analytics providers measuring site use.
  • Advertising networks serving or measuring ads.
  • Law enforcement or government bodies acting under a valid legal order.

Reasonable Security Measures

We use standard safeguards suited to the services provided. No internet-connected service is fully secure, so we cannot promise that a breach or unauthorized access will never occur.


Visitors Under Eighteen

This site is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under eighteen. A parent or guardian may contact us to request deletion if a minor submitted information.


Your Privacy Choices

Subject to applicable law and the data actually held, you may:

  • Ask for a copy of personal data we hold.
  • Request correction of inaccurate information.
  • Ask that eligible information be erased.
  • Opt out of certain processing where that choice applies.

Changes to This Notice

We may revise this privacy notice. A new version takes effect when it is posted here with an updated effective date.
