Privacy Notice

This notice describes the information handled when someone visits Meade County Released Inmates, uses a partner search tool, or sends a message. It also explains the limited purposes for collection, the outside services that may receive data, and the choices available to visitors.

Information You Submit

A name, location, or other term entered into a search box is sent to the independent provider that operates that tool. We do not store or log those search terms on our own systems. The provider’s privacy terms govern its processing.

If you email us or use an available contact form, we keep the message and supplied contact details long enough to answer and handle the request. We do not share that correspondence outside the organization unless the law requires it.


Technical Data and Cookies

Normal page delivery may collect routine technical details:

  • Internet Protocol address
  • Browser name and version
  • Device type and operating system
  • Pages visited and time spent
  • Referring website, when available
  • Date and time stamps

Cookies help measure use and support site functions. Browser controls can block or remove cookies, although some features may work differently afterward.


Reasons We Use Data

The collected information is used for defined operating needs:

  • Deliver pages reliably and maintain performance
  • Send a requested search to the correct partner
  • Understand which materials visitors use
  • Detect errors and repair technical problems
  • Display advertising that may reflect visitor interests

Outside Websites and Advertising

Links lead to Meade County offices, Kentucky corrections and court portals, federal locators, release records, and independent search services. Once a visitor leaves this site, the destination’s privacy policy controls its data practices.

Advertising partners may use their own technology to measure activity across websites and select ads. That tracking occurs through partner systems, not records maintained by us.


Limited Data Sharing

We do not sell personal data. Information may be available to:

  • Search partners that process a submitted query
  • Analytics providers that measure site use
  • Advertising networks serving or assessing ads
  • Law enforcement or another public authority acting under a valid legal order

Security Is Best Effort

Reasonable administrative and technical practices are used to protect information. No internet service, transmission method, or storage system is completely secure, so we cannot promise that a breach or unauthorized access will never occur.


Visitors Under Eighteen

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


Your Privacy Choices

Subject to applicable law, a person may ask to:

  • Receive a copy of personal data we hold
  • Correct inaccurate personal information
  • Delete information that is eligible for erasure
  • Opt out of certain processing where that right applies

These rights concern data held by this private site. Requests for a Meade jail record or its correction must go to the government custodian under Kentucky’s Open Records Act, KRS 61.870 through 61.884.


Changes to This Notice

This notice may be revised as practices or legal duties change. An updated version takes effect when posted here with a new effective date.
