Scott County Privacy Notice

This notice describes the information Scott County Released Inmates may receive, why it is used, and which outside services handle data. By using the site, a visitor accepts the practices described here.

Information You Send

A name or location entered in a search box goes to the third-party provider that operates that tool. Scott County Released Inmates does not store or log those search terms on its own systems. An email or contact message may be kept long enough to answer it and manage the exchange. Messages are not shared outside the organization unless disclosure is required by law.

  • Internet Protocol address

  • Device type and operating system
  • Pages viewed and time spent
  • The referring website, when available
  • Date and time stamps

Cookies help measure how visitors use the site. A browser can reject or delete them, although some functions may then work differently.


How Data Is Used

Outside Websites and Advertising
