Information You Choose to Send
Search Terms
When you enter a name or place into a search box, the query passes to the outside company that operates that tool. Suffolk County Released Inmates does not keep or log those search terms on its own systems. The provider’s privacy terms control its handling of the query.
Messages
If you email or submit a message, we retain the details needed to read and answer it. We do not share the message outside the organization unless a valid legal duty requires disclosure.
Technical Data Collected Automatically
Ordinary web systems can record limited technical details when a page loads. Those details help deliver the site and diagnose errors.
- Internet Protocol address
- Browser name and version
- Device type and operating system
- Pages viewed and time spent on them
- The referring page or site, when provided
- Date and time information
Cookies
Cookies and similar storage can help measure how visitors use the pages. You may block or delete cookies through the browser. Some functions or preferences may work differently afterward.
How the Data Is Used
Collected information supports a small set of operating purposes:
- Keep pages available, stable, and responsive
- Send a search request to the chosen partner service
- Understand which Suffolk County resources are useful
- Detect and repair technical faults
- Display advertising that may reflect visitor interests
Websites and Services We Link
Links may lead to Suffolk County Sheriff’s Department pages, Massachusetts corrections resources, courts, federal locators, or third-party search tools. Once you leave this site, the destination’s privacy policy controls its collection and use of data.
Some advertising providers may use their own systems to measure activity across websites and select interest-based ads. Their tracking does not become a data store operated by Suffolk County Released Inmates.
Parties That May Receive Data
We do not sell personal information. Limited information can reach these service or legal recipients when needed:
- Search partners that process a submitted query
- Analytics providers that report site use
- Advertising networks serving or measuring ads
- Law-enforcement or government bodies acting under a valid legal order
Reasonable Security Measures
Standard technical and organizational safeguards are used where practical. No internet-connected service can promise perfect security, and we cannot guarantee that a breach or unauthorized access will never occur.
