Privacy Notice

This privacy notice describes what Wayne County Released Inmates collects, how that information is used, and the limited situations in which data may be shared. It covers search terms sent to outside providers, messages submitted by visitors, routine technical records, and cookies. By continuing to use the site, a visitor accepts the practices described here.

Information You Submit

Terms Entered in Search Tools

A name or place entered in a search box passes to the outside provider that operates that tool. Wayne County Released Inmates does not store or log those query terms on its own systems.

Messages Sent to the Site

Messages sent by email or a contact form may be retained long enough to answer and maintain the exchange. We do not disclose those messages outside the organization unless the law requires it.


Technical Data Collected

Standard server and analytics systems may record technical details when a page loads, including:

  • The internet protocol address used for the request
  • The browser type and software version
  • The device category and operating system
  • Pages viewed and approximate time spent
  • The referring page or site, when supplied
  • Date and time stamps for requests

Browser Cookies

Cookies can help measure how visitors use the pages. A browser can reject or delete cookies, though a blocked cookie may change how some features work.


How Information Is Used

  • Operate the site and improve load speed
  • Send a search request to the selected partner
  • Measure which pages visitors find useful
  • Detect errors, abuse, and technical faults
  • Display advertising that may reflect broad interests

Privacy on Linked Services

Links lead to release records, sheriff and corrections pages, court portals, federal locators, and outside search tools. Once a visitor leaves, the destination's own privacy policy controls its collection and use of data.

Some advertising providers may use their own systems to recognize activity across sites and select interest-based ads. Their tracking does not become a Wayne County Released Inmates record.


Parties That May Receive Data

We do not sell personal data. Limited information may be handled by:

  • Search partners that process a submitted query
  • Analytics providers that measure site use
  • Advertising networks that deliver ads
  • Law-enforcement or government bodies acting under a valid legal order

Reasonable Security Measures

We use ordinary safeguards suited to a public reference site. No internet-connected service is fully secure, so we cannot promise that data will never be lost, accessed, or disclosed without authorization.


Visitors Under Eighteen

This site is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from a person under 18. Contact us if a minor submitted information so it can be reviewed and deleted where appropriate.


Your Information Choices

  • Ask for a copy of personal data we hold about you
  • Request correction of inaccurate personal data
  • Ask for deletion where the law permits
  • Object to or opt out of certain processing where available

Changes to This Notice

This privacy notice may change as practices or services evolve. A revised version will be posted on this page with an updated effective date.
