Privacy Notice

This notice explains what information may move through Overton County Released Inmates, why it is used, and which outside services may receive it. The policy covers search tools, messages, routine site logs, cookies, advertising, and linked services. Effective August 2, 2026.

Information You Submit

A name, location, or other term entered into a search box is sent to the third-party provider that powers that tool. We do not keep or log those search terms on our own systems. The provider's privacy terms govern its receipt and processing.

If you send an email or contact message, we retain the information needed to read and answer it. We do not share that message outside the organization unless disclosure is legally required or necessary to respond through a service provider.


Routine Technical Information

Like most websites, our systems and service providers can collect technical details when a page loads. Those details help deliver pages, detect faults, and understand general use.

  • The connecting IP address
  • Browser name and version
  • Device category and operating system
  • Pages viewed and time spent on them
  • The referring website, when supplied
  • Date and time stamps

Cookies and similar tools may show how visitors move through the site. Browser controls can reject or delete cookies, though some functions or preferences may behave differently afterward.


How Information Supports the Site

Collected information is used only for ordinary operating and service purposes.

  • Deliver pages and maintain reasonable performance
  • Send a search request to the selected partner tool
  • Understand which resources visitors use
  • Diagnose errors, abuse, and technical failures
  • Display advertising that may reflect general interests

Privacy After Following a Link

Links may lead to Overton County offices, sheriff and corrections resources, release-record portals, federal locators, notification systems, or third-party search services. Once a visitor leaves this site, the destination's own privacy policy and security practices apply.

Advertising partners may use their own technology to recognize activity across websites and tailor advertisements. That tracking occurs on their systems under their policies, not as a record kept by this site.


Parties That May Receive Data

We do not sell personal information. Limited data may still be processed or disclosed to the parties needed to operate services or comply with law.

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

Reasonable Security, Not a Guarantee

We use standard administrative and technical practices intended to protect information. No website, network, storage service, or internet transmission is fully secure. We cannot promise that a breach, loss, or unauthorized access will never occur.


Adults Only

This site is intended for people who are at least 18 years old. We do not knowingly collect personal information from a minor. A parent or guardian who believes a minor submitted information may use the Get in Touch page to request review and deletion.


Your Privacy Requests

Subject to applicable law and a verifiable request, a user may ask about information held directly by us.

  • Request a copy of personal data we maintain
  • Ask us to correct inaccurate personal information
  • Request deletion where the law permits it
  • Object to or opt out of certain processing where available

These rights concern information held by this private site. Government release records are controlled by their public custodians under Tennessee law, including the Tennessee Public Records Act at Tenn. Code Ann. ยง 10-7-503 et seq.


Changes to This Notice

We may revise this notice as services, vendors, or legal requirements change. The updated wording and a new effective date will be posted on this page when a revision takes effect.
