Privacy Policy

This policy describes information handled when someone visits Fayette County Released Inmates, uses a third-party search box, follows an outside link, or sends a message. It also explains the practical limits of online security and the choices available to visitors.

Information That May Be Collected

A search entered in a search box is passed to the third-party provider that powers that tool. The provider may receive the query and related technical data under its own policy. If a visitor sends a message, the site receives the submitted contact details and message contents. Web servers, analytics services, and advertising systems may automatically collect an IP address, browser and device type, referring page, pages viewed, approximate location, timestamps, and interaction data.

Cookies and similar storage may remember preferences, measure traffic, prevent abuse, or support advertising. Browser controls can block or delete cookies, although some features may then work differently.


How Information Is Used

Collected information may be used to operate and secure the site, respond to messages, diagnose errors, understand which pages are useful, prevent fraud, and improve content. Search queries are used by the search partner to return results. Contact information is not a channel for an official jail, court, or corrections request.


Who May Receive Data

Information may be shared with search partners, hosting and technical vendors, analytics providers, and advertising networks when needed for their services. It may also be disclosed to law enforcement or another authority when required by a valid legal order, or when reasonably necessary to protect rights, safety, or system integrity. Personal information is not sold directly by this site as a stand-alone list.


Links and Government Systems

Pages link to LFUCG, Kentucky courts, KDOC, VINE, BOP, ICE, transit, and other outside systems. Those organizations collect and control data under their own notices. Leaving this site means their privacy terms apply. Kentucky open-record requests may themselves become agency records governed by the Kentucky Open Records Act, KRS 61.870 through 61.884, and any applicable exception or retention rule.


Security and Retention

Reasonable safeguards are used, but no web transmission or storage system can be promised completely secure. Do not submit Social Security numbers, full birth dates, account credentials, medical records, or documents containing sensitive identifiers. Information is kept only as long as reasonably needed for operations, legal obligations, dispute resolution, and security.


Children and Teenagers

This site is not directed to people under 18 and does not knowingly seek personal information from them. Juvenile custody information may also be confidential under Kentucky law. A parent or guardian who believes a minor supplied personal data may request review or deletion.


Your Privacy Choices

Visitors may adjust browser cookie settings, use privacy controls offered by analytics or advertising vendors, and avoid submitting a message. A person may ask to access, correct, or delete personal information provided directly to this site, subject to legal and operational limits. Requests about data held by a government agency or search partner must go to that organization.


Policy Changes

This policy may be revised as services, vendors, or legal duties change. The version posted here governs current use. Continued use after an update indicates acceptance of the revised notice.
