Information You Provide
Search Terms
When a visitor enters a name, county, state, or similar detail into a sponsored search box, that query is sent to the third-party provider that operates the tool. Hale County Released Inmates does not keep its own separate log of those search terms.
Messages
If you send an email or contact message, the information in that message may be kept long enough to review it and respond. It is not shared outside the organization except when required by law or a valid legal process.
Technical Data Collected
Like most websites, this site may collect routine technical data when pages load. That data helps with security, performance, troubleshooting, analytics, and ad measurement.
- IP address.
- Browser type and version.
- Device type and operating system.
- Pages viewed and time spent on pages.
- Referring website, when one is provided.
- Date and time stamps.
Cookies
Cookies may be used to understand how visitors use the site and to support analytics or advertising. Browser settings can block or delete cookies, though some tools may behave differently when cookies are disabled.
How Data Is Used
- Keep pages available, stable, and reasonably fast.
- Route sponsored search requests to the provider operating the tool.
- Measure which Hale County release-record pages visitors use most.
- Find broken links, browser issues, and other technical problems.
- Support advertising that may be based on general interests or site activity.
Outside Links
This site links to official release-record sources, sheriff and corrections pages, court portals, VINELink, ADOC, ABPP, federal locators, ICE resources, and third-party search tools. Once a visitor leaves this site, the privacy notice and data practices of the outside website control that visit.
Advertising partners may use their own systems to measure activity across websites or provide interest-based advertising. That tracking occurs through their services, not through an official Hale County record system.
Who May Receive Data
Personal information is not sold by Hale County Released Inmates. It may be handled by limited service providers or disclosed when the law requires it.
- Search partners that process sponsored lookup requests.
- Analytics providers that measure traffic and page use.
- Advertising networks that help display or measure ads.
- Law enforcement, courts, or government bodies when required by a valid legal order.
Security Limits
Reasonable security practices are used to protect site-related information, but no internet-connected system can be guaranteed breach proof. Visitors should avoid sending sensitive personal details that are not needed for a basic inquiry.
