Information You Choose to Submit
Terms Entered in Search Tools
When you type a name, location, or other term into a search box powered by a third party, the query is sent to that provider so it can return results. Wayne County Released Inmates does not store or log those search terms on its own systems.
Messages Sent to Us
If you send an email or contact message, we keep the information needed to read and answer it. We do not share the message outside the organization unless disclosure is required by law.
Technical Data Collected on Visits
Routine server, analytics, and advertising systems may collect technical details when a page loads, including:
- Your Internet Protocol address.
- The browser name, type, and version.
- The device category and operating system.
- Pages viewed and the time spent on them.
- The referring website, when one is supplied.
- The date and time of the request.
Cookie Controls
Cookies and similar tools help measure site use and support certain features. You can block or remove cookies through your browser, though parts of the site may then behave differently or lose saved preferences.
Purposes for Using Information
Collected information is used only for operating and improving the service. Those uses include:
- Keeping pages available and responsive.
- Sending submitted searches to the selected partner service.
- Understanding which Wayne County record guides visitors use.
- Finding performance, security, and technical problems.
- Displaying advertising that may reflect likely interests.
Privacy Beyond This Website
Links may lead to the Wayne County Sheriff, Missouri corrections and court resources, federal locators, or independent search tools. After you leave this site, the destination's own privacy policy and terms control its collection and use of information.
Advertising providers may use their systems to recognize activity across websites for interest-based ads. That cross-site processing occurs under the provider's practices, not as a Wayne County Released Inmates database.
Parties That May Receive Data
We do not sell personal information. Data may still be handled by limited service categories when needed for the stated purposes:
- Search partners that process a query you submit.
- Analytics services that measure visits and page performance.
- Advertising networks that place and evaluate ads.
- Law-enforcement agencies or other government bodies acting under a valid legal order.
Reasonable Security Measures
We use ordinary administrative and technical safeguards suited to this type of website. No connected service, transmission method, or storage system is completely secure, so we cannot promise that information will never be accessed, lost, or disclosed improperly.
Visitors Younger Than 18
This site is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. A parent or guardian who believes a minor submitted information may use the Contact Us page to request its deletion.
Choices About Your Information
Depending on the law that applies, you may ask us to:
- Provide a copy of personal information we hold about you.
- Correct information that is inaccurate.
- Delete information that we are not required to retain.
- Stop or limit certain processing when an applicable right permits it.
Submit a request through the Contact Us page. These requests concern data controlled by this private site. A request about a sheriff, court, or MODOC record must go to that public-record custodian.
Changes to This Notice
We may revise this notice when practices or legal duties change. The updated version will be posted on this page with a new effective date, and continued use after posting means the revised notice applies.
