Privacy Policy

This policy explains what Butte County Released Inmates may collect, how that data is used, when outside services may receive it, and what choices visitors have. Using the site means accepting these practices.

Information You Provide

Search Terms

Names, counties, or other terms typed into a search box are sent to the third-party search provider that operates that tool. This site does not keep its own 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 read it, respond, and manage follow-up. It is not shared outside the organization unless a valid legal requirement applies.


Automatic Data

Standard technical data may be collected when pages load.

  • IP address.
  • Browser type and version.
  • Device type and operating system.
  • Pages visited and time spent.
  • Referring page or site.
  • Date and time stamps.

Cookies

Cookies and similar tools may be used for analytics, site operation, and advertising. Browser settings can block cookies, although some features may work differently when cookies are disabled.


How Data Is Used

  • To keep the site available and functional.
  • To route search requests to partner tools.
  • To understand which pages are useful.
  • To find errors and improve performance.
  • To support advertising that may be based on interests.

Outside Links

Links may point to Butte County offices, sheriff records pages, court portals, CDCR, VINE, federal locators, advertisers, and search partners. Once a visitor leaves this site, the privacy policy of the outside service controls that visit. Advertising partners may also use their own systems to measure activity across websites.


Who May Receive Data

Personal data is not sold as a contact list. It may be available to limited service providers or legal recipients.

  • Search partners that process search queries.
  • Analytics providers.
  • Advertising networks.
  • Government or law-enforcement bodies when a valid legal order requires disclosure.

Security

Reasonable security practices are used, but no internet-connected service can be guaranteed to be error free or breach proof. Visitors should avoid sending sensitive details unless they are needed for a specific message.


Users Under 18

The site is intended for adults. It does not knowingly collect information from anyone under 18. If a minor submitted information, contact can be made to request deletion.

  • Ask for a copy of personal data held by the site.
  • Ask to correct inaccurate contact information.
  • Request deletion when the law allows it.
  • Opt out of some processing where required by applicable law.
