Privacy Policy

This policy describes what information Chesterfield County Released Inmates receives, how it is used, and when another party may receive it. Use of the site signifies acceptance of these practices. South Carolina public records linked here remain governed by the originating office and applicable law, including the South Carolina Freedom of Information Act.

Information You Submit

A name, location, or other term entered in a search box is sent to the third-party provider that powers that tool. The site does not store or log those search terms on its own systems. The provider's policy controls its handling of the query.

If you send an email or contact-form message, we retain the information needed to read and answer it. Messages are not shared outside the organization unless disclosure is required by law.


Automatic Technical Information

Routine technical details may be recorded when a page loads. They can include:

  • Internet Protocol address;
  • browser name and version;
  • device type and operating system;
  • pages viewed and time spent on them;
  • the referring site, when available; and
  • date and time stamps.

Cookies help show how visitors use the resource. A browser can block or remove cookies, although some functions may then behave differently.


How Information Is Used

Collected information may be used to:

  • operate the site and maintain reasonable performance;
  • send search requests to the selected partner service;
  • understand which pages help visitors;
  • diagnose and repair technical problems; and
  • display advertising that may reflect a visitor's interests.

External Websites and Advertising

Links lead to Chesterfield County release records, sheriff and corrections pages, government portals, and outside search services. After a visitor follows a link, the destination's privacy policy applies. This policy does not control an outside site.

Advertising partners may use their own systems to recognize activity across websites and tailor ads. That tracking occurs under those partners' practices, not as a record maintained by Chesterfield County Released Inmates.


Parties Receiving Information

Personal information is not sold. Limited data may be provided to:

  • search partners that process submitted queries;
  • analytics providers that measure site use;
  • advertising networks that deliver ads; and
  • law-enforcement or government authorities acting under a valid subpoena, court order, or other lawful demand.

Reasonable Security Measures

Standard safeguards are used to reduce the risk of unauthorized access, loss, or misuse. No internet-connected service can guarantee perfect security, and this site does not claim to be breach-proof.


Adults Only

This resource 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 page to request deletion.


Your Privacy Choices

Subject to applicable law and the ability to verify a request, a person may ask for:

  • a copy of personal information held by this site;
  • correction of inaccurate personal information;
  • deletion of information that is no longer required; or
  • an opt-out from certain processing where that right applies.

These choices concern data held by this private resource. Requests about a Chesterfield County or South Carolina public record must go to the agency that maintains it under the South Carolina Freedom of Information Act, Sections 30-4-10 through 30-4-165.


Policy Revisions

This Privacy Policy may be changed as technology, services, or legal duties evolve. A revision takes effect when it is posted here with a new effective date.
