Information You Choose to Send
Terms Entered in Search Tools
When you type a name or location into a search tool, the query passes to the outside provider that operates that tool. Allen County Released Inmates does not keep or log those search terms on its own systems. The provider’s terms and privacy practices apply to the query it receives.
Email and Contact Messages
If you send an email or submit a contact message, we retain the message and its contact details as needed to answer. We do not share that submission outside our organization unless disclosure is required by law or a valid legal demand.
Technical Data Collected Automatically
Basic operational records may be created when a page loads. They help measure traffic, keep the service working, and diagnose faults. Those records may include:
- Your Internet Protocol address
- Your browser type and version
- Your device category and operating system
- The pages viewed and time spent on them
- The referring website, when available
- The date and time of each request
Cookie Choices
Cookies may be used to understand how visitors move through the site. You can limit or block cookies through browser controls. Some site functions may work differently when cookies are disabled.
Purposes for Using Data
Information is used only for operating, understanding, and supporting the website and its connected services. Typical uses include:
- Keeping pages available and responsive
- Sending search requests to the selected partner service

Privacy Beyond This Website
Links may lead to Allen County custody contacts, Kentucky corrections pages, federal locators, court resources, and outside search providers. Once you leave this site, the destination’s privacy policy controls its collection and use of information.
Advertising companies may use their own technology to observe activity across more than one website and select interest-based ads. That tracking occurs within their systems, not in a database maintained by Allen County Released Inmates.
Parties That May Receive Data
We do not sell personal information. Limited information may still be processed or disclosed to these categories of recipients:
- Search partners that process a query you submit
- Analytics providers that measure site use
- Advertising networks that deliver ads
- Law enforcement or government authorities acting under a valid legal order
Safeguarding Personal Information
We use standard, reasonable practices intended to protect information in our care. No internet transmission, connected service, or storage system can be guaranteed completely secure, so we cannot promise that a breach will never occur.
Visitors Younger Than Eighteen
This website is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If a parent or guardian believes a minor submitted personal data, use the Contacts page to request its deletion.

Subject to applicable law and our ability to verify a request, you may ask us to:
- Provide a copy of personal data we hold about you
- Correct personal information that is inaccurate
- Delete personal data in our possession
