Information You Submit
Terms Entered in Search
A name, location, or other term entered into a search tool is transmitted to the third-party provider that operates the tool. Pottawatomie County Released Inmates does not store or log those search terms on its own systems. The provider’s privacy policy controls its collection and use.
Messages Sent to Us
If you send an email or contact-form message, we retain the information needed to read and answer it. Contact submissions are not shared outside the organization unless disclosure is legally required.
Automatic Technical Collection
Routine technical information may be collected when a page loads. It can include:
- The connecting Internet Protocol address

- Device category and operating system
- Pages opened and time spent on them
- The referring website, when available
- Date and time stamps for requests
Cookies and Similar Storage
Cookies help measure how visitors use the site and support certain features. Most browsers allow cookies to be blocked or removed. Some functions may behave differently or become unavailable when browser storage is disabled.
Purposes for Collected Data
Collected information is used only for operating, measuring, securing, and supporting the site and its connected services. Those purposes include:
- Operate the site and maintain reasonable performance
- Send search requests to the appropriate partner service
- Understand which Pottawatomie County resources visitors use
- Identify errors, abuse, and technical problems
- Display advertising that may reflect visitor interests
Privacy on Linked Websites
Links may lead to Pottawatomie Sheriff pages, Kansas corrections and court portals, release-record sources, federal locators, or third-party search tools. Once you follow a link, the destination’s privacy policy and practices apply. We do not control how another operator collects or uses information.
Some advertising partners may use their own systems to recognize activity across websites and select targeted ads. That cross-site tracking occurs through the partner’s technology, not a visitor profile maintained directly by Pottawatomie County Released Inmates.
Parties Receiving Information
We do not sell personal information. Data may be available to limited parties involved in operating or lawfully overseeing the service:
- Search partners that process submitted queries
- Analytics providers that measure site use
- Advertising networks serving or measuring ads
- Law-enforcement or government authorities responding to a valid legal order
Reasonable Security Measures
We use ordinary administrative and technical safeguards suited to the information handled. No internet-connected service, transmission method, or storage system can be guaranteed completely secure. This notice does not promise that a breach or unauthorized access can never occur.
Visitors Under Eighteen
The site is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. A parent or guardian who believes a minor submitted information may use Contact Us to request review and deletion.
Your Privacy Choices
Subject to applicable law and verification, you may ask us to:
- Provide a copy of personal information we hold about you
- Correct personal information that is inaccurate
- Delete personal information that is eligible for erasure
- Stop or opt out of certain processing where that right applies
These choices apply to information held by this site. Requests concerning a sheriff, court, corrections agency, search provider, analytics service, or advertiser must be directed to that organization.
Changes to This Notice
We may revise this privacy notice as practices, services, or legal requirements change. An updated version becomes effective when posted here and will carry a revised effective date.
