Information You Provide
Search Queries
When you type a name, location, or record term into a partner search box, that query is sent to the third-party provider that operates the search tool. This site does not keep its own separate log of those search terms. The provider may process the query under its own privacy notice, pricing terms, and data rules.
Messages
If you email us or submit a contact message, we may keep your name, email address, message text, and any details needed to respond. We do not share contact messages outside the organization unless required by law, needed to protect the site, or necessary to answer the request.
Automatic Site Data
Like most websites, this site may collect technical information when a page loads. That data helps diagnose errors, measure page use, and maintain basic security.
- IP address or general network location.
- Browser type and version.
- Device type and operating system.
- Pages visited and approximate time on page.
- Referring website, when a browser sends it.
- Date and time stamps.
Cookies
Cookies and similar tools may be used to understand how visitors use the site, keep pages working, and support advertising or analytics. You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings. Some features may work differently if cookies are disabled.
How Data Is Used
Collected information is used for ordinary site operations and improvement. It is not a substitute for official public records maintained under California law, including records subject to the California Public Records Act and law-enforcement disclosure rules such as Government Code section 7923.610.
- Keep pages available and loading correctly.
- Send search requests to the partner tool selected by the user.
- Understand which San Luis Obispo release-record pages are useful.
- Find broken links, errors, and security issues.
- Display advertising that may be based on general interests.
Outside Websites
This site links to sheriff pages, court portals, CDCR CIRIS, VINELink, BOP, ICE ODLS, California statute pages, and third-party search tools. Once you leave this site, the destination site's privacy policy controls what it collects and how it uses information.
Advertising partners may use their own cookies or tracking systems to measure ads or show interest-based advertising across websites. Those systems are operated by the advertising partner, not by San Luis Obispo County Released Inmates.
Who May Receive Data
We do not sell personal contact messages. Limited information may be shared with service providers or required recipients so the site can function or comply with law.
- Search partners that process queries submitted through their tools.
- Analytics providers that measure site traffic and errors.
- Advertising networks that support ad delivery and reporting.
- Law enforcement, courts, or government bodies when a valid legal order requires disclosure.
Security Limits
Reasonable safeguards are used to protect information handled by this site. No website, server, email account, analytics system, or advertising platform can be guaranteed breach-proof. Do not send sensitive personal details that are not needed for your message.
Adults Only
This site is intended for adults. It does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If a minor submitted information, contact us through the Contacts page so the request can be reviewed and deleted where appropriate.
Your Data Rights
Depending on where you live, including under California consumer privacy principles where they apply, you may have rights related to personal information held by a website operator. Public records held by government agencies are handled by the agency that maintains them, not by this site.
- Ask for a copy of personal information this site holds about you.
- Ask that incorrect contact information be corrected.
- Ask that personal information be deleted when retention is no longer needed.
- Opt out of certain processing where the law provides that choice.
Policy Updates
This Privacy Notice may change as the site, partners, or laws change. Updates will be posted on this page with the revised text taking effect when posted.
