Knox Privacy Notice

This notice describes the information collected when someone uses Knox County Released Inmates, why it is used, and when another service may receive it. It also explains cookies, security limits, and available privacy choices. By continuing to use the site, a visitor accepts the practices described here.

Information a Visitor Submits

Terms Entered in Search

A name, place, or other term entered in a search box is sent to the outside provider that operates the tool. This site does not keep or log those query terms on its own systems.

Messages Sent to Us

An email or contact submission may be retained long enough to answer and manage the request. It is not shared outside the organization unless disclosure is required by law.


Technical Details Collected Automatically

Ordinary web logs and measurement tools may collect a limited set of technical details when a page loads:

  • Internet Protocol address
  • Browser name and version
  • Device class and operating system
  • Pages viewed and time spent
  • Referring website, when supplied
  • Date and time stamps

Cookie Controls

Cookies help measure how visitors use the pages. A browser can reject or remove them, although some functions may work differently when cookies are blocked.


Reasons the Data Is Used

  • Operate the site and maintain performance
  • Send a query to the selected search partner
  • Understand which pages visitors use
  • Detect and repair technical problems
  • Display advertising that may reflect interests

Privacy Beyond These Pages

Links lead to sheriff and corrections pages, release-record resources, government portals, and outside search tools. After a visitor follows a link, the destination's privacy terms control its collection and use of data.

Advertising partners may use their own systems to measure activity across websites and select interest-based ads. That tracking is governed by the partner, not by this notice.


Parties That May Receive Data

Personal information is not sold. Limited data may be handled by:

  • Search partners processing a submitted query
  • Analytics providers measuring use
  • Advertising networks serving ads
  • Law-enforcement or government bodies acting under a valid legal order

Reasonable Security, Real Limits

Standard safeguards are used to protect the information under our control. No website, network, or storage system is completely secure, so a breach-proof guarantee cannot be made.


Use Is Limited to Adults

The site is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under 18. A parent or guardian may contact us to request deletion if a minor submitted information.


Choices About Personal Data

  • Ask for a copy of personal data held
  • Request correction of inaccurate data
  • Ask that eligible data be erased
  • Opt out of certain processing where applicable

Changes to This Notice

This privacy notice may be revised as practices or services change. A new version will be posted here with an updated effective date.
