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.

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.

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.
