Privacy Notice

This notice describes the information that may be collected when someone uses Adams County Released Inmates, why it is used, and when another party may receive it. It also explains the role of search partners, cookies, and automatic technical logs. By continuing to use the site, a visitor accepts these practices.

Information You Submit

Terms Entered in Search Tools

A name, place, or other query entered in a search box is sent to the third-party provider that operates that tool. Adams County Released Inmates does not store or log those search terms on its own systems. The provider’s privacy rules govern the query after it is submitted.

Messages Sent to Us

An email or contact-form message may be retained so we can answer it and keep a record of the exchange. We do not share that message outside the organization unless disclosure is required by law or a valid legal demand.


Automatic Technical Information

Ordinary web systems may record limited technical facts when a page loads. These records help operate the site and diagnose faults.

  • Internet Protocol address
  • Browser name and version
  • Device class and operating system
  • Pages viewed and time spent
  • Referring site, when supplied
  • Date and time stamps

Cookies and Similar Storage

Cookies may help measure how visitors use the pages and support site features. A browser can block or remove them. Some functions or partner tools may behave differently when cookies are disabled.


Reasons Data Is Used

Collected information is used for limited operational and service purposes.

  • Keep pages available and responsive
  • Send a search request to the selected provider
  • Measure which content readers find useful
  • Locate and correct technical failures
  • Display advertising that may reflect visitor interests

Links and Advertising Systems

Links may lead to Adams County offices, Pennsylvania corrections resources, court and release-record portals, federal locators, or third-party search tools. Once a visitor leaves this site, the destination’s privacy notice and security practices apply.

Advertising companies may use their own technology to measure activity across websites and choose interest-based ads. That tracking occurs on their systems and is governed by their policies.


Parties That May Receive Data

We do not sell personal information. Limited information may still be handled by necessary service providers or disclosed under legal authority.

  • 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 order

Reasonable Security Measures

Standard administrative and technical safeguards are used to reduce the chance of unauthorized access or loss. No internet-connected service is fully secure, however. Adams County Released Inmates cannot promise that a transmission, stored message, or supporting system will never be compromised.


Visitors Under Eighteen

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


Your Privacy Choices

Subject to applicable law and the limits of the data held, a user may ask to:

  • Receive a copy of personal data we maintain
  • Correct inaccurate personal information
  • Delete personal information that need not be retained
  • Opt out of certain uses or processing

Changes to This Notice

This privacy notice may be revised as services, laws, or data practices change. A revised version takes effect when it is posted here with its new effective date.
