Privacy Notice

This notice describes what information the site receives, how it is used, and when another service may receive it. By using Lexington County Released Inmates, a visitor accepts these practices.

Information Visitors Submit

Partner Search Terms

A name or location entered in a search box passes to the third-party provider that operates that tool. This site does not keep or log those search terms on its own systems.

Messages

Email and contact messages may be retained long enough to answer. They are not shared outside the organization unless a legal duty requires it.


Technical Data Collected

Routine server, analytics, or advertising systems may receive standard data when a page loads:

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

Cookies

Cookies help measure how people use the site. A visitor can block them through browser controls, though some features may then behave differently.


How Data Supports the Site

Collected technical data is used for limited operating and measurement purposes.

  • Maintain performance and availability
  • Send submitted searches to the selected partner
  • Measure which pages visitors use
  • Diagnose faults and technical errors
  • Display advertising that may reflect interests

Other Websites and Services

Links may lead to sheriff and corrections pages, official release records, government portals, or third-party search tools. Public-record access from South Carolina agencies is governed in part by South Carolina Freedom of Information Act, Title 30 Chapter 4, along with exemptions and agency rules. The destination's privacy terms apply after a visitor leaves this site.

Advertising companies may track activity across sites on their own systems to select ads. Their collection is controlled by their policies, not this notice.


Who May Receive Data

Personal data is not sold. It may be handled by the following parties when needed:

  • Search providers processing a submitted query
  • Analytics vendors measuring site use
  • Advertising networks serving ads
  • Law enforcement or public bodies acting under a valid legal order

Security Measures

Reasonable security practices are used, but no internet-connected service can promise perfect protection or guarantee that a breach will never occur.


Adults Only

The site is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect information from anyone under 18. A parent or guardian may contact us to request deletion if a minor submitted data.


Privacy Choices

Subject to applicable law, a visitor may ask to exercise these rights:

  • Receive a copy of personal data held
  • Correct inaccurate personal information
  • Request deletion
  • Object to or opt out of certain processing

Notice Changes

This privacy notice may be revised. An updated version will appear on this page with a new effective date.
