Privacy Notice

This notice describes the information Webster County Released Inmates may receive, how it is used, and when it may be shared. By using the site, you accept the practices stated here. An outside service may apply its own policy after you follow a link or submit a search.

Information You Submit

Terms Entered In Search Tools

A name, location, or other query entered in a search box is sent to the third-party provider that powers the tool. Webster County Released Inmates does not store or log those search terms on its own systems. The provider’s policy governs its receipt and use of the query.

Messages Sent To Us

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


Technical Information Collected Automatically

Ordinary web logs and measurement tools may record technical details when a page loads, including:

  • 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 one is supplied
  • Date and time stamps

Cookies And Similar Storage

Cookies help measure how visitors move through the site and may support advertising or site functions. You can block or remove cookies through browser settings. Some tools may work differently after cookies are disabled.


How Information Is Used

Information is used only for the operational, measurement, search-routing, troubleshooting, and advertising purposes described below:

  • Operate the site and maintain reasonable performance
  • Send a search request to the selected partner service
  • Understand which Webster County resources visitors use
  • Find errors, abuse, and technical faults
  • Display advertising that may reflect inferred interests

Privacy Beyond This Website

Links may lead to WVDCR offender searches, Webster County or court resources, release-record portals, federal locators, and independent search services. Once you leave this site, the destination’s privacy notice and terms govern its collection and use of data.

Advertising providers may use their own technologies to recognize activity across multiple websites and select interest-based ads. That processing occurs on the provider’s systems, not on systems controlled by Webster County Released Inmates.


Parties That May Receive Data

We do not sell personal information. Limited data may be provided to:

  • Search partners that process a query submitted to their tool
  • Analytics vendors that measure traffic and page use
  • Advertising networks serving or measuring ads
  • Law-enforcement agencies or government bodies responding to a valid legal order

Reasonable Security Measures

We use standard administrative and technical practices intended to protect information under our control. No internet transmission or connected system is completely secure, however. We cannot promise that a breach, loss, or unauthorized access will never occur.


Visitors Under Eighteen

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


Your Privacy Choices

Depending on the law that applies to your request, you may ask us to take one or more of these actions:

  • Ask for a copy of personal information we hold about you
  • Request correction of inaccurate personal information
  • Ask us to erase personal information, where applicable
  • Opt out of certain processing when the law provides that choice

Changes To This Notice

We may revise this privacy notice as site practices or legal requirements change. A revision takes effect when the updated notice and its new effective date are posted here.
