Information You Submit
Terms Entered in Search Tools
A name, location, or other detail entered in a search box is sent to the third-party company that powers that tool. Haywood County Released Inmates does not keep or log those search terms on its own systems. The provider’s privacy terms govern what happens after the query is submitted.
Messages Sent to Us
If you send an email or contact-form message, we retain the message and its contact details as needed to respond. We do not share that correspondence outside the organization unless disclosure is required by law.
Technical Data Collected Automatically
Basic technical details may be recorded when a page loads. This information helps operate the site and understand general traffic patterns.
- The visitor’s Internet Protocol address
- Browser name and version
- Device type and operating system
- Pages viewed and time spent on them
- The referring website, when supplied
- The date and time of each visit
Cookies
Cookies may be used to measure how visitors move through the site. A browser can reject or delete them. Blocking cookies may cause some features or preferences to work differently.
Reasons We Use Data
Information is used only for operating, assessing, and supporting the website and its connected services.
- Maintain reliable and efficient page delivery
- Send a search request to the selected partner
- Learn which pages visitors find useful
- Identify faults and correct technical problems
- Display advertising that may reflect visitor interests
Official and Outside Websites
Links may lead to the Haywood County Sheriff’s Office, TDOC FOIL, VINELink, court portals, federal locators, or third-party search services. The privacy policy of the destination applies once a visitor leaves this site. Official records available under the Tennessee Public Records Act remain controlled by the government office that maintains them.
Advertising providers may use their own systems to recognize activity across different websites and select interest-based ads. That tracking occurs through the provider’s technology, not a Haywood County government database operated here.
Parties That May Receive Data
We do not sell personal information. Limited information may still be handled by service providers or disclosed when the law requires it.
- Search partners that process submitted queries
- Analytics vendors that measure site use
- Advertising networks that deliver ads
- Law enforcement or government bodies acting under a valid legal order
Security Has Practical Limits
We use ordinary safeguards intended to protect the information in our care. No website, network, or transmission method can be promised as fully secure, so we cannot guarantee that a breach will never occur.
Visitors Younger Than Eighteen
This site is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under 18. A parent or guardian who believes a minor submitted information may contact us and request its deletion.
Your Data Choices
Subject to applicable law and the information we can reasonably identify, a user may make the following requests:
- Ask for a copy of personal data held by us
- Request correction of inaccurate personal information
- Request deletion of personal data
- Opt out of certain forms of data processing
Changes to This Notice
We may revise this privacy notice as services or practices change. The updated version will be posted on this page and will state its new effective date.
