Privacy Notice

This notice describes the information collected when you use Knox County Released Inmates, how that information supports the site, and the limited situations in which it may reach another party. By continuing to use the site, you accept the practices stated here.

Information You Submit

Terms Entered in Search Tools

A name, place, or other term entered in a search box is sent to the independent provider that operates that tool. Knox County Released Inmates does not keep or log those search terms on its own systems. The provider's policy controls its handling of the query.

Messages Sent to Us

If you send an email or submit a contact message, we retain the information needed to read and answer it. We do not disclose that message outside the organization unless a valid legal duty requires disclosure.


Automatic Technical Information

Ordinary server and analytics systems can collect technical details when a page loads. This information helps diagnose faults, measure use, and keep the service available.

  • Your Internet Protocol address
  • Browser name and version
  • Device class and operating system
  • Pages viewed and time spent on them
  • The referring website, when supplied
  • Date and time information

Browser Cookies

Cookies may be used to understand how visitors move through the site. You can block or remove cookies through browser controls, though some functions may then work differently.


Purposes for Using Data

Collected information is used only for routine operation and improvement.

  • Maintain site speed and availability
  • Send a search request to the selected partner
  • Identify which pages readers use
  • Detect and correct technical problems
  • Present advertising that may reflect visitor interests

Links Beyond This Site

Pages may link to Knox County release records, Missouri corrections resources, other government portals, and independent search services. Once you follow an outside link, that operator's privacy terms apply. Knox County Released Inmates does not control those terms.

Some advertising companies may use their own systems to measure activity across multiple sites and select interest-based ads. That tracking occurs under the advertising provider's practices.


Parties That May Receive Data

We do not sell personal information. Limited information may be processed by the services needed to operate the site or disclosed when law requires it.

  • Search partners that process submitted queries
  • Analytics providers that measure site use
  • Advertising networks that serve ads
  • Law enforcement or government authorities acting under a valid legal order

Security Practices

Reasonable technical and administrative safeguards are used to protect information. No internet service, storage method, or data transmission can be guaranteed completely secure, so the site cannot promise protection against every breach.


Visitors Under Eighteen

This service is intended for adults and does not knowingly gather personal information from anyone under eighteen. A parent or guardian who believes a minor submitted personal data may contact us and request its deletion.


Your Privacy Choices

Subject to applicable law and verification, you may ask us to take the following actions for personal information we hold.

  • Provide a copy of your information
  • Correct information that is inaccurate
  • Delete information where permitted
  • Stop or limit certain processing

Changes to This Notice

This privacy notice may be revised as site practices or legal duties change. A revised version becomes effective when it is posted here with an updated effective date.
